If you use a prepaid credit card with bid13, and you know that it works. Can you leave a note to let us know which brand of card it is, and where you purchased it? Thank you!
Here are some cards that we know work. The first six digits on your card is called the BIN, it identifies which card the bank is from, but does not reveal any information about the account other than that. If you can find a card that has the first six digits that is in this list, it will very likely work with our service.

Please note, not all cards are the same, some charge more fees than others. I will try to do a follow up post covering the fees of each card.
Also NOTE: In some cases, you maybe have to call the number on the back of the card before you can checkout with it. You will need to request that the card is: activated for online purchases from Canada.
