There are a few options, the one that comes to mind right away is Green Dot. They do prepaid Visa/MC cards. I think you can get them online as well as in drugstores/7-11.
You don't want to use Green Dot.
Trust me, you don't.
No, you don't.
As for the OP, go to your bank and ask for a one-use Visa card number tied to your account. They will typically allow this.
In the meantime, what the hell is this about not getting a debit card for two months??? What kind of bank are you using?? I opened a new checking account with Wells Fargo two years ago and got a debit card immediately (like within a week in the mail).

Debit/Gift/Pre-Paid Visa Card ======
It's a pre-paid debit card that functions as a credit card would. You buy it, or, at a bank 'load cash' onto it. Then use it like a credit card.

If you do, only for a short time. I did that for a few months. Man...fees up the wahoo! Five bucks to deposit money on it. Five bucks a month. I never had any actual problems with using it, but it's too expensive to be worth it.|

See if you can find a Credit Union around to join. Far more flexible with their procedures than banks (banks are de debil and go out of their way to discourage small and infrequent depositers). I got the card from the one I joined inside a week.
Dec out.
What the internet needs is a company that starts a digital pre paid credit card system that allows payment via paypal.
I used to use wirecard (german company) for a while, but they only allowed wire transfer to load the card and they took up to 18 days sometimes so that was a big failure.
Where I live, one can not get a creditcard very easily.
I still pay for my online goods trough paypal, but this sadly excludes me from shops like amazon, or price minister.
I find myself in a bit of a pickle at the moment, having just recently moved and living out in the sticks, in that I find myself lacking a debit or credit card. I have access to Paypal, but the Gamestop website doesn't appear to take that. The last time I set up a bank account, it was two months before they'd let me tie a debit card to it.
Is there any way for me to get a prepaid debit card type of thing online, via Paypal? I know that Paypal has a debit card option, but it can take up for a month for it to be mailed out, which would be too late for the Gamestop pre-order.
