amazon.com payment via hdfc debit card

[just4kix]

using netsafe card i came to know that its valid only for 24hrs

so amazon.com takes the payment from the card after they ship it usually 2-3 days so by the time they take the payment the netsafe card will be expired.....so how to use the netsafe card on amazon.com...??

Amazon believes that all customers will buy using a credit card that is not expiring soon. Hence a netsafe card that expires within a day will not work. Amazon, UK takes 1-3 days before confirming and shipping the order while Amazon, US takes 2-5days for the same purpose. CC is charged at the time of confirming and dispatch.

BTW, Why are you posting the same post twice?

As I said, Virtual Credit Card is the best option if there is no physical credit card.

p/s. Sometimes, if you hit the browser 'back' and 'forward' button, it may resubmit the POST action. Hence duplicate posts.

Open an account with Entropay.com and create virtual credit card and then recharged the vcc using with your existing debit card. Entropay virtual credit card is valid for 1 year.I am using Entropay VCC for past four years without any problem.

 

[samyukta_88]

so what about the fees they charge for entropay i guess its very expensive...??

 

[arindamcc]

5% extra of total amount recharged.

 

[manzb]

5% is damn expensive. I will prefer virtual CC, or credit card issued against an FD. They are free and safer than even the regular CC.

 

[just4kix]

Lest we forget, Indian banks charge 3.5% on each and every (outgoing) forex transaction.

 

[hifimahesh]

By using VCC, can we avoid international credit card transaction fee ?

 

[manzb]

Of course not. That 3.5% plus the service tax is mandatory forex transaction fees levied by the VISA/ MC. So no escape from that.

There is no guarantee on debit cards, as I stated earlier. Now that you have a bank account, why don't you try the vcc route. Closing the bank account will cost you closure charges.

I have physical credit card and hence no need of a virtual credit card. Why don't you give it a try?

its not the matter of giving it a try if i create a vcc and if it dosent get accepted i need to wait for 3-5 days to get a refund and by the time i get a refund the 14 days free closure period will lapse and i need to pay 500Rs to close the account...

i guess i will open a axis bank account tomorrow...

I can assure you that Axis bank debit card (mine is Titanium Rewards) is 100% working on Amazon.co.uk.
