Hi, im new to the forums and bitcoin. Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but it seems to be the most suitable one.

Anyway, i was wondering whether its possible to obtain bitcoins from a prepaid credit card. These are usually sold under a gift card section in the shop, and theyre usually a visa or american express card where i live, with different values (i live in the UK). I have checked coinmama.com and they said they do not accept any form of gift card. I have also heard of bitcoin gift cards, but i dont think these are sold around here.

If anyone knows of a service that does this or whether its possible at all, any help would be appreciated.

You can do it using liqpay. https://secure.privatbank.ru/?do=index_new .. once you have topped up your liqpay account using the debit card you can move the funds to btc-e or bitstamp using https://technocashier.com/reg.php?lang2=

The fees aren't too bad.. but not great either (probably around 6-8% in all). I have used it with www.idtprime.com prepaid mastercards that you can buy in most convenience stores.
