Never used vidown before and don't have a credit card. Can I use a debit card in place of it?

Also I'm a little paranoid about giving people my billing address to make these purchases. I live with people and don't want them finding out about my fetish should anybody send anything.

Can't answer about the debit card as I've never tried it (but if it can be used like a credit card as most debit cards today can, I would expect it to work). Soundguy will probably respond to this thread and can tell you for sure.

About the address, I have ordered several videos from them over several years, and they have never sent me anything in the mail. I would guess that the billing address is used as part of the verification - they aren't going to mail anything to you.

Yeah, it works fine (I've made all of my recent purchases with a debit card) and why would anybody send you anything? You haven't opted in to advertising and if you had, an e-mail would be cheaper than a catalogue.

Any type of card that says Visa, MC, or Discover can be used in pretty much any online system, including Vidown/Mothership - credit, debit, prepaid, gift, etc. That's part of the rules of the card brands. As a merchant, if you accept ANY of their line of products, you have to accept ALL of them.

Note that all types of cards MUST be registered to an address before they will work online or at gas pumps & kiosks. Nobody is going to give you a credit or debit card anonymously, so that's automatic. The issue is with gift & prepaid cards. You always have to go to the card issuer's website and register the card to a street address before trying to use it or the transaction will fail, usually with some cryptic, information-free error message.

At 49 cents for first class US mail and considerably more for foreign postage, nobody in this business is ever going to mail you anything just because you spent 5 bucks online It's a complete non-issue. It's never going to happen.

Off the record... I can confirm that vidown happily accepts a fake name and address. I don't think they actually validate it against the card at checkout. Never had any problems. I've only ever paid by regular, non-prepaid VISA though.

We do check and enforce it on new customers, but we sometimes let it slide for old timers if we already know who you are
