I know there are a ton of wicked smart people on here and excuse my ignorance but i would like to purchase something online anonymously. I am an avid user of SR and spend way too much money on here lol so i was hoping someone could help a sister out. It seems like everything requires you to give some sort of ID. I just would like a fast way to buy something with a visa or master card type credit card, without giving all my id info. Id appreciate any help! Even just pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

In a word, you don't. From a traceability standpoint, debit/credit cards are the worst forms of payment imaginable. I seem to remember a study carried out by the CIA a few years back, when they were studying what methods would be best for surveilling a population. I believe they concluded that debit cards, closely followed by credit cards, were the best way of tracking people and their activities over long periods of time.

how do you expect to be able to purchase anything anonymously from a freaking card tied to your identity???
you cant
thats why you use cash

I really don't think you asked your original question clearly enough. What is your end goal ? Of course using a credit card under your real identity is bad, it doesn't necessarily destroy your anonymity to do so but it certainly doesn't do anything for your anonymity to begin with and it is generally a bad place to start from.

if your just tring to buy shit online go get a vanilla visa giftcard from one of the many stores that sell them (even dollar general) n u can load up to 500 per card. should be anon. enough for most stuff ud be buying on clearnet anyway. you can have ur item shipped wherever works for your situation im guessing not ur house if your remaining anon. anyway should work i know mexicans that do this to buy shit on line cause they have no bank acct. or id.

lol, yea i certainly didnt read it clearly enough
since this is SRF i just automatically assumed OP was referring to purchasing off SR using a card but perhaps not, though why ask here?
