Has anyone ever been able to use a debit card @ namecheap?

They claim they accept visa debit cardswhen in fact they don't -- at least as far as I can tell.

I'm in the US and have a legit debit card --their customer service seems totally clueless.
 


WTF -- a quick review pls -- @ checkout you have 2 options.
1) Is funding via an in house namecheap account that you funded with paypal account, a paypal account, or a credit card ( shit I just realized this I was typing this --maybe this is where they accept debits -- I tried everything but that option) or u can use the G nets pay system wich only takes cc's
2) Is just credit cards - (This is the option I tried a few different times because at some online sites, even if it says credit card that's just a generic term for any visa or MC product nand entering your debit works)

Credit card processors can't tell the difference between a visa/mc credit card or a debit card bearing the visa/mc logo.

That was sorta my impression... this card is pretty new, but I used at a local food store a couple of weeks ago just to make sure it was truly activated -- worked fine. Maybe I better try it again somewhere.

Thanks to all who answered I really appreciate your time.

If I accidentally enter a sliver a wrong info on namecheap when ordering my bank freezes my card immediately (can't tell you how many times it has happened). I guess there's a ton of fraud that goes through namecheap. So go try your card some place else. Also try calling up your card issuer and ask them what's up and why it's not authorizing.
 
So here is what happened... my bank (TD Bank btw) decided that they did not like the name of the company that I was trying to charge to-- so they decided to put hold on my card-- and this for a freakin $8 and change charge!

The cust serv rep I spoke to today said 'nammee cheap?' like it was a disease or something... WTF.

anyway, I guess I am in the market for a new bank -- TD is even open sundays so it kinda sucks, but give me break!

Yeah rage they froze it -- but I didn't enter any wrong data.

get the secure card plugin for paypal and generate your own vcc using your PP acct. works for me all the time. you can setup 1 time transactions and kill the cards after using.

That definitely sounds frustrating GerardWon. You have to remember though, that while you condemn your bank for getting suspicious and freezing your account - another person would praise them for being sharp and catching it.

All that said: Once you call, and prove who you are, there is absolutely no reason to justify keeping your account frozen. It's unbelievable that a bank can freeze YOUR money for something like that, when you prove you are the acc holder.

I'm assuming they weren't willing to lift the hold when you talked to them?
