So yea, I got a small problem.
Wanted to order something at Amazon, and of course the nubs only accept Credit Cards. Needless to say, I don't have one, and I don't want a (real) one. Only got (verified) Paypal and I can pay using my bank account ofcourse (for the Dutchies: iDeal kàn, maar liever Paypal).
To the point: Is there any way I can get some virtual credit/debit card on the interwebs, fund it using my Paypal, then use it to buy stuff at Amazon? Looks like Paypal cancelled it's Virtual Credit Card program, so I need an alternative..

PayPal has virtual debit cards, but it costs money.

Nope, I just did a google search.
Beta or not, it will suffice for what he needs.

Erm, I doubt that:
We do not currently accept international wire transfers, PayPal, or Smart Cards.

Well you live in the rinky dinky Netherlands but at my local Rite Aid store i bought on of these: https://www.greendotonline.com/contents/Products.aspx
(Scroll down to the orange "Online Shopping Card".
I just went to the store, gave it to the checkout man, and he asked how much i wanted on it, i said 20$, payed him 20$ + about (1-2?) for the cost of the plastic card itself :p, and then i bought a video game online :D. So see if any stores around you sell cards like that, it was really really easy.

ALSO!
Amazon sells gift cards, why not go to the store and look for an amazon gift card?
I actually have a 50$ Amazon.com gift card right in front of me! (Jealous?)
