How to pay Attitude from Australia with a Prepaid card.

I see a lot of Aussies having problems paying for their seeds without a credit card! I certainly was a little confused and couldn't find a thread with exactly all the information I needed.
This is because money orders via our main money ordering medium (Western Union) do not ship to PO boxes, and cheques cost too much and take too long.
However, it is even easier and faster the way I did it today.
I went to my local Woolworths and bought a woolworths money prepaid mastercard and put $100 on it for my $82 order. The card itself cost $3.95 and it is not registered to any name or address, so it is also anonymous.
I'll post a picture of the card I used.
I called up just 5 minutes ago and gave them the card number, expiry and the 3 numbers on the back of the card and the transaction went through flawlessly.
Also, the woman I spoke to has a lovely voice 8) Hail mother England.
Hopefully my fellow Aussies (or any other internationals) who are confused as to how to pay Attitude or any other international seedbanks without a CC or money order can use this information to help themselves!
Here it is:

Save your money, Attitude is just a ripoff.
They do not have the greatest prices but they are reasonable considering the huge range they have in one place. That's what I like about them so far. Simpler to get all your stuff from one place rather than the 5 different brands i would have had to buy from to get the same seeds.
But I'll keep an open mind, where do you shop?

Woolworths are also in the process of taking the prepaid mastercards off the shelf. They are only selling top up mastercards that you have to apply for and provide identification when you pick it up! As of January you wont be able to get the prepaid cards :( however Big W seems to sell them too so you may be able to still get them there!

Oh that's too bad :(
But I think the "reloadable" cards only require identification when you "reload" them.
I believe that's what I read when I was looking at it anyway.

Ah ok cool, well thats good to know! The manager at woolies that i spoke to reckons you need to provide ID to pick the card up in the first place, i said not to worry about it. Apparently they print your name on the card just like a normal credit card though do it does make sense they would check who you are...otherwise you could literally start stealing someones identity!
