Which are the best payment options for me?

[SensitiveEyes]

I want to make an anonymous payment. At checkout the options are credit card, Paypal and Coinbase commerce. No easy copy address to settle BTC payment using Electrum or Core.

Bank cards and Paypal are not anonymous. I do not have a coinbase commerce account but it turns to a plugins selection page. This is something I have not seen before. Which plugins are recommended for sending anonymous payments to settle the checkout.

Apart from browser plugins I can pay with cards. Stealths says a VPN should not be used to activate their cards so which virtual card suppliers can I send BTC to get an anonymous card?

This payment method are definitely not the best way to go with it this are extensions that will connect directly to your wallet and this is definitely not right because signing in will give access to the wallet private keys.

I think you should either go back and see maybe there is an option to pay with address or doesn’t the option of PayPal provides an address to pay with?

[DubemIfedigbo001]

I think I prefer phantom wallet to all these since it's Kinda decentralized too. But you need to create a new phantom wallet for this purpose and send exactly the amount you need for your transactions into it, then connect the wallet to the site and make your payment. This way you don't have to bother yourself about the security of the wallet in the future, you don't have funds there and your main wallet is safe. Never you connect your main wallet to the site.

I don't think you need an anonymous virtual card here.

So they are not offering simple address or QR code for payment?
I am not sure if any of CC supported wallet can be used with Bitcoin, but be careful installing any browser plugins for this purpose.
It's probably safer to temporary install Coinbase wallet, send coins there from your wallet, and make payment.
After that you can remove Coinbase wallet.

You can do that, but I am not sure if they are accepting regular cards or only 3DS cards with additional verification.
There are several no-kyc cards that accept loading with BTC, but they are all charging additional fees.

He posted that he wants the payment to be anonymous. But if you want to make use of Coinbase Commerce, you would have done KYC that Coinbase Commerce may know a little about you. Some people do not want anyone or any site to know they have crypto. If he wants an anonymous means, that is not possible with the lists of payment methods unless he use a credit card that can be funded anonymously. But I do not know any as I have seen many scam related to it.

They did not offer a simple address or QR code to receive payment.

Complying with Coinbase KYC means it will not be an anonymous payment.

You can do that, but I am not sure if they are accepting regular cards or only 3DS cards with additional verification.

The card payments should not require 3DS. If they are no KYC cards I do not mind paying a premium. Which cards do you know?

Funding a card could be the best solution if a secure browser wallet is not recommended.

Could you make this clear: are you buying something online? You said virtual card? or you are pointing to a virtual card provider that can accept BTC?

Anyway, we have a list of debit cards here on the forum, you might be interested? You can check them here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5473572.0


Coinbase commerce if this is the only option you have when you checking out currently it doesn't support BTC transactions via BTC addresses. Here's what they said: "Bitcoin payments from third-party exchanges and self-custody wallets are currently not supported."

Would you mind sharing with us what site you are buying that asks for this payment option? I may be able to find a way to pay BTC, let's see.

Which virtual cards can I obtain using BTC without KYC?

I want to keep the site secret. The screenshot is detailed because it was taken at checkout.

[BitMaxz]

Have you checked the link I provided? Some of them have no KYC, and some of them have limits before they ask for KYC, and the majority of them ask for KYC before you can use them.
Better check the link above; you should be able to find what fits your need.

[SensitiveEyes]

I checked the reviews. For no KYC options it has PST Ultima, SolCard and PayWithUs but this is information is outdated. Registration on the PST site requires immediate KYC.

PayWithUs card offers minimum $100 top up. They charge $20 for the card. I can top the card direct with PayWithUS using TRC-20 or TRX or us Cryptomus but they have AML rules. Their have high fees.

I found the prices on the help pages so Solcard looks like the best from the Big List of Crypto Debit Cards. Are there other options?

If that's your goal then you need an exchange/payment option. The site you are looking to buy doesn't have a BTC payment option?

Gift cards are anonymous to a certain extent so why don't you try that instead of these regulated platforms?

I am not sure anyone from bitcointalk is selling gift cards these days, you can check out Currency exchange and see if any reputed user is selling them.

[SensitiveEyes]

The site accepts Paypal, credit card and Coinbase options. If it had a QR code or BTC address which I could copy to settle in Electrum. A card looks like the best option because connecting browser wallets is not secure. I will check the Currency Exchange offers.

All of these web3 wallets though will only take Ethereum. (And maybe Polygon.)

None of these are suitable for Bitcoin payments. In fact there are some sites who explicitly disable all of the payment methods except for ETH and some other centralized payment methods like "Binance Pay" and stuff like that. Why they do this I don't know, but I think it comes down to support more than anything.

The site accepts Paypal, credit card and Coinbase options. If it had a QR code or BTC address which I could copy to settle in Electrum. A card looks like the best option because connecting browser wallets is not secure. I will check the Currency Exchange offers.

Ezzocard might work here - no activation required.

No, that's not true. When you pay through Coinbase Commerce, you need Coinbase Wallet. It's a wallet that you can download from AppStore or PlayStore and use without submitting your real information, it's partially like Metamask. You can use an instant exchange, send your coins to Btc address of an exchange and then ask exchange to send Eth to your Coinbase Wallet's address (or use Matic for low fees) and then pay with your Coinbase Wallet on the website. It's not the most privacy-friendly option but it's not bad either.

A search for Ezzocard shows this site with a broken secure certificate http:// ezzocard dot net/globalvisacards/shop.html
Selecting a card directed me to a site infected with JS Agent.BAT virus which my antivirus software blocked so I will not recommend it

Charles-Tim is telling the truth. Coinbase have KYC requirement so payments are not anonymous.

You mention, it's BTC payment, but wallet options shown are for Ethereum, how does that work?

Never you connect your main wallet to the site.

I prefer avoiding adding funds to a browser wallet because connecting wallets is not secure practice.

IMO, browser wallets are best for anonymity. You can add funds just as much as necessary for payment so you do not expose yourself to any further risk.

[SensitiveEyes]

You mention, it's BTC payment, but wallet options shown are for Ethereum, how does that work?

The checkout payment is dollars. I have Bitcoin. They do not offer bitcoin QR code direct payment facilities. The checkout crypto payment service is provided by Coinbase but they are not anonymous. Paypal is not anonymous. Card payments are the last option. I have not found a trusted anonymous no KYC virtual card vendor selling for a reasonable price.

Do you have an opinion about their security. Which do you use?

I suggest to convert your BTC to ETH and make payment in ETH. It'll be anonymous payment. You can use Swapspace (https://swapspace.co/) to convert.

I use Metamask, it's been around for years and never been compromised.

SwapSpace say KYC can be asked because they are aggregators.

I know Metamask. Like any browser wallet I have to convert BTC to altcoins to complete the checkout payment but a virtual card is preferable.

Stick with 'kyc risk low' partners. I have done plenty swaps there, have never been asked for kyc.

Converting is as simple as it can get but It's your choice at the end of day.
