sallyM 		I buy online a lot. I use my debit card. It works perfectly.

This may be TMI, but:
Be careful who you buy from, though. Not every website is safe. Big brand chain names are usually the best. I order a lot from WalMart, JC Penney, Crate & Barrel, etc. If I find something from a company I'm not familar with I don't trust them automatically. In this case I will search the website for a Contact Us section and/or look for a contact phone number like 1-800. The first time I order from a company I'll use that contact number and talk to a human with my order. After that, I use their website. If all they have to reach them is an e-mail address, I refuse to give them my order or my card number. I formulated these "rules" for myself because I got burned on an order once. Basically, it's your money, and your identity -- Protect it.

kirand 		You can use your debit card. But I like paypal much more. It is very convenient and safe. You can try it.

kirand 		You can open a PayPal account without a credit card, and many merchants now accept PayPal.

Many (most?) online merchants will accept debit cards, and if your debit card has a Visa or MasterCard logo on it, you can use it as a credit card at those merchants that don't take debit cards (keep in mind that the funds still come straight out of your account just like a debit transaction).

Hope this helps!

DianeJ 		But beware in case a conflict arises a debit card does NOT offer as much protection as a credit card!

AmandaS 		In Australia at the post office, you can purchase one off credit cards (visa) with a set dollar amount in them which are then able to be used to purchase goods on line. There is probally something similar available where you live.

SamirAhmed 		Debit cards work.
But I would suggest you set up a second checking account, and only deposit money that you plan to spend on line. Just a defense against getting your card info stolen.
