ive been a reader on these forums for a while now, but only just made an account today, im in urgent need of at least 1.48 bitcoins and stupidly bought a (debit type)  visa credit card with about $160 USD on it ($200 NZD) thinking i could visit one of the BTC exchange sites and cash in whats on my card for some Bitcoins, clouded by my ignorance i didnt realise the trouble i'd have trying to find a place that would accept visa/debit for bitcoins, and with the potential for people getting scammed by the buyer through paypal, i can imagine why that option is avoided

so. anyone out there know of an alternate way ? (yes i have searched and tried to figure it out myself) im open to any options...

or
if anyone makes online purchases regularly i would give them the full card details in exchange for bitcoins (rate in ur favour) and with those details u can check www.prezzycard.co.nz to make sure u know how much ur getting

im not a scammer or troll or whatever, just tryna find a solution ...

hit me up PLEASE and thank you

Quoted from
Re: Beware of PayPal and other reversible transfer services

Quote
Just as an FYI to anyone interest in using PayPal.

This weekend I sent approx $600 to a user via bitcoin-otc IRC channel. I sent this as a gift. He received the money then dropped offline.

I thought this is not a big issue I will just file a chargeback with PayPal -- DENIED.

So if you send a GIFT the only way it is refundable is if the SELLER sends it back -- PayPal told me this when I called them up.

There are some stories/options about the ability to LIE to PayPal and tell them your account got hacked etc you might get the money back but you will have your account closed/flagged.

Anyway I got my money back, eventually, due to tracking the guy down - he claims his computer credits ran out [in the library] and had some other issues. He refunded me as I said. So if he is lying or not I don't care. I got my money back.

tl;dr --> PayPal Gift payments are not able to be chargedback unless you lie to PayPal and have the account potentially closed.

I'd even be willing to send the cash as a GIFT like the user above said he did, but an escrow would be preferred if i did that, if someone like johnk was involved it would be even better..

From the website I can't tell if it's an actual visa prepaid card or something else. If it's legitimate visa I might be able to help you out with that. I'd want at least a 11% markup on converting it to btc tho.

so an 11% markup would equal how many bitcoins? (value of the card is $160 USD)

Yeah the website is a bit plain with its description, but as far as i know it IS a legitimate visa, used for any (worldwide) online transactions the same way a normal credit card is used, just today I bought it with cash (anonymously) and it isnt connected to any bank account or any accounts in general, just straight swapped cash for the card at my local post office, i had the option to load any amount of money onto it.

Although it is very risky to deal with newbies with reversible charges, I do follow some security measures to make sure neither of us gets scammed.

Im pretty sure theres no transaction fee's at all Cheesy, and the website has a tool for checking and reviewing each transaction made too! (Edit: so you can check the balance after each purchase to see how much is remaining)
