Well, you're pretty much only left with cash or wiring the money, and those wouldn't work too well for the internet. Cash isn't secured (not that checks or MOs are, but they are more secure) and wiring costs money and the retailer would have to have a 'public' bank account to which you could wire the money. If you don't have a credit card, check or MO are the best options, IMO...too bad they take so bloody long to arrive and process.

Maxtor disgraces the six letters that make Matrox.

An extra $20? That's practically nothing! You have no idea how irritating it is to surf online stores in the US like Newegg and then visit a local computer shop here in Europe for buying something. Prices are almost double :(

I opened a paypal account this year and did not use a credit card! You can get prepaid credit cards too.

Get a Visa check card. It's a debit card and doubles as a visa card but not a credit card.
