Well, the easiest alternative is to get a visa [or similar] debit card. Then
you can only spend the money in whatever account you have it lnked to, and
can't get yourself into debt on it...You can only spend money you already
have.
I've got one of these because I know if I had a credit account, I'd never
have any money. [although my lego collection would have grown :) ] I believe
most banks should offer them, but can only confirm the Bank of
Melbourne/Westpac has one for sure.
Hope this suggestion helps.
[Alternatively, get someone to sell them for you on their ebay account.]
