Which reminds me, another way to get credit easily is through an online prepaid credit card issuer. One that I've used and found very good is: https://www.epassporte.com/ You get a virtual credit card (ePassporte issue Visa and Visa Elektron) which acts like a real credit card to buy anything online. You get a real credit card number, CVV2 number, an online credit card account and an expiry period. The other advantage of such a credit card is that it can be used in any region of the world. One of the problems of credit cards is they can be blocked from making online purchases from some countries depending on where they've been issued from. I have this problem with my South African credit cards, and ePassporte solves that. In fact, some sellers on eBay will not accept credit cards from cardholders living in some African states, e.g., .ng. Typically, you use an existing credit card to charge up the virtual credit card, but there are several other prepaid virtual credit card companies that support other forms of charge-up, e.g., cash, cheque, wire transfers, e.t.c.
