It's a bit awkward, but.. Do you know anybody with a credit card? I had to rely on friends and family when I started out buying things. Awkward, but it worked. But I had to get a Visa when I became a merchant. Got my money on Paypal and couldn't verify my account without it :o/ Silly. I thought the idea of Paypal was to give people without a creditcard an option, but... that's only for usanians ;o)
