I Stay in UK and I have a Barclays Bank Visa Electron Debit Card, can i use it to shop online, or buy a domain.

    As long as there is money in your account =D

    Visa is very widely accepted.

  • Can you? As it is a Visa, the answer is yes. But should you is different. You do not get the same type of protection when using a debit card as you do when using credit.

    You can protest a charge and it can be chargedback to the merchant if you are dissatisfied. This you can not do with debit.

    Yes, as long as it has a mastercard/visa logo the merchant will accept this as a credit card, but it will be debited from your account

  • No, usually websites prefer Credit Cards. But you can search for websites which do accept debit cards.

    Debit cards can be used like regular credit cards. Just be sure you have enough money to cover the purchases, to save yourself some embarrassment.
