If PayPal takes your card, they'll accept it through that.

Nope, PayPal does not accept them neither.

  Doesn't sound like a very popular card

  Maestro isn't a credit card, it's a debit card. Probably worth getting a decent credit card !

    Maestro can also be used online though. There is a credit card number on the back of it. But barely anyone supports it.

      Depends on the country where the card is issued. Most of the shitty German banks issue a German domestic card with a Maestro cobranding, but don't allow Card-not-present transactions so they can upsell credit cards. I agree though that not a lot of online shops support payment with Maestro, MasterCard Debit, Visa Debit and to a lesser extend Visa Electron are used a lot more than Maestro.

    Not everyone is happy to use CREDIT card. You can get a gift card that is top up. Some large shopping centers and shop chains offer them. They will have Visa or Mastercard logo and can be used as regular CC.

      Totally understandable and acceptable, but then you can't complain that your CREDIT card isn't being accepted. You can very easily get $500/mo limit credit cards these days. Or indeed, you also have prepaid top up Visa and Mastercards. Just make sure - if you get a credit card - to pay off the balance in full each month.

      No problems in Australia getting a Mastercard which is actually a debit card.

      It is safer to use a credit card because if you get scammed on a debit card, you can kiss goodbye to your money. If you get scammed on a credit card, it is the lender's responsibility.

        Once you get a hold of some online transactions, you will learn how to stay safe. Its not that hard, its just common sense. And the rule applies - if it is too good to be true, it probably is.

  Which country are you in? PayPal accepts Maestro in the UK, and lots of other places from what I can see. https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-country-functionality-outside https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-countr...
