You want payment methods? You got payment methods....

You know how it is: you're shuffling home at 2am after another ill-advised festive shindig, and you need to pick up some milk and onions and stuff. But they won't take your Switch card. Or Maestro, or whatever it's called now. Cash only, and there's no cashpoint for miles. So you head home, onionless.

Life would be so much easier if everyone in the world took Paypal. A big yellow 'Pay Now' button on every shop till, like in your eBay emails. This would be especially great in January and February, when your Paypal balance is riding high after you've eBayed off all your unwanted pressies. Hey, it's just common-sense recycling.

Skype, of course, does accept Paypal – and many more payment methods besides, including lesser-spotted forms of plastic (Diners, Solo), Ukash and Moneybookers. No idea what Ukash and Moneybookers are? Then head for the all-new Ways to pay page, where you can find out about the oodles of different ways to pay for Skype credit, Skype vouchers and other Skype stuff.

I'm having a realjob here hacking my way through the tangle of imfo to find any mention of 'Maestro' payments to purchase credit. I live in Ireland and I have a 'Laser' card which is like a 'Switch card in the uk. I can use it for many things here in Ireland but there is no mention of it within Skype. Going to my bank to make a bacs payment is pretty inneficient, ok, fair comment, I should be doing online banking, I guess thats the next step. Until then is there any way I can use this debit card to transfer money. I may just go out of my mind before you get to me. Feel free to visit me in hospital, and before you ask, I love grapes !. thanks a ton- the boys are at the door so hurry !
