  Yes, As long as you have enough money on your debit card to make the purchase. If not, it will be denied.

  No.

  Unless they accept Paypal. Then you can use your debit card.

  If its just asking your to insert your credit card number, you can’t.

  You can only use a credit card to buy online.

  As long as your debit card has a Visa or MasterCard logo on it, the company you’re charging with won’t even know the difference. Most debit cards are able to be used that way, and the way you can tell is if it has the Visa logo (will have a card number starting with a 4) or a MasterCard logo (will start with a 5).

  If it’s a Mastercard or Visa branded debit card, it will probably be accepted. The only way to be sure is to try it. If the site doesn’t accept it, it will let you know. No harm done (unless you do to your checking account what you did to your credit card).

  yes, of course. as long as the site takes the logo on your card (i.e. mastercard or visa) and make sure you have enough money in your debit account to cover your purchase amount! debit cards can be run as credit and all it means is that it will take slightly longer for the transaction to go through. hope this helps! =]

  Yes, totally, as long as it has a Visa or Mastercard symbol on it. My favorite way to buy online is to get a Visa gift card from the bank and use that to purchase, because its temporary and your personal information isnt online, you know? But your Visa debit card will work just fine:)
