Debit Card Purchase?

[Liku]

I'd like to purchase Aquaria, but I only have a Debit Card (And have no interest in opening a PayPal account or getting Credit). I tried filling out the Credit Card Purchase Form with my Debit Card info to no avail. Is there anyway I could use my Debit Card?

If your debit card isn't a CheckCard with a credit card logo on it, it's not going to work trying to type it in as a credit card. Unfortunately, CheckCards aren't offered by banks in every country, such as Canada. They're common from banks in the USA though. Plain debit cards are pretty much only useful for ATMs nowadays, and debit transactions in your own country, usually at physical stores.

I've used my debit card for every purchase online since I got it, except a few. I didn't even try it here because I happened to have funds in my Paypal, but yeah it being "only useful for ATMs" is pretty wrong.

Of course, it could be a country difference. Maybe UK debit cards are more useful than US ones or something, heh.
