I Need a Reliable Art Supply Store Online.

Is there a website like Paypal that I could use to store money online except without a bank account?

• I would like to start my own art commissioning business online (selling my art to people online, them buying it and paying me online, and I ship it out to them, depending if it is a digital piece or traditional piece). However, there's a small problem that's blocking my way - how will my customers be able to pay me? I know there's Paypal, but the thing is, I don't *really* have a bank account right now, nor do I think I will be able to make one anytime soon. I also don't want to resort to check/money order, because it's such a hassle, and takes way too much time (plus, you never know if it could get lost in the mail or something). So I was wondering..does anyone know of a website in which I could use as a means of payment? Like, I want a website EXACTLY like paypal, but one where I don't need a bank account to sign up to. In paypal, when you sign up, you have to have a bank account so that all the money you get online goes directly from paypal to your bank account. I want a website which I could sign up WITHOUT a bank account - where it could store all the money I get from customers in its database until I do get a bank account to transfer the money to. I hope I don't sound confusing. I just want something online that could keep my money safe until I can get an bank account, and at the same time, provides an easier method for my customers to pay me. I hope my question isn't too confusing!

• Answer:

  Not possible. You need a bank account or some sort of voucher point system. I have been trying to do the same thing. Maybe we should put our thinking hats together and start some sort of business that can use this type of payment.
