    Yesterday, March 3, 2017, I tried to order a plug-in microphone from BangGood.com for my Sharp GF-800H(S). Unless I'm amazingly mistaken, that big, powerful dual-decker has no built-in condenser microphones, so I've been thinking about buying a unidirectional or omnidirectional unit to use with the '800 via its MICROPHONE port. But I couldn't make the payment for the item via PayPal. I was reminded, quite frustratingly, that my prepaid VISA gift card can't be used internationally -- though I was able to use such a card to order the Sharp from an eBay seller in The Ukraine. (Shrug)

    Does anyone know of any prepaid VISA (or MasterCard) gift cards -- or gift-type cards -- that can be used by an American buyer ordering something from that China-based website? That is, a card that doesn't have scary or frustrating financial requirements: high card-loading minimum amounts, strenuous credit or identity checks in the name of foiling terrorists, etc.?

    No idea. Is there a prepaid gift card forum? :)

    Easthelp, you are the king of asking questions nobody ever needed to know the answer to. In approximately three minutes i located over 2000 unidirectional microphones on ebay located in the US starting at $2. If you can't buy abroad then buy domestic.

    I'm also not sure that a vintage audio forum is the best place to ask advice on pre payment visa cards but another google search revealed the answer to me.
