You can go to a bank, purchase a 'gift card' with a visa/mc logo. You can THEN use THAT to open a PayPal acct. If you get a rechargeable card, you can add funds as they dwindle. This protects you (in the event of acct hijacking) to the amount of $ you have on the card. Also protects personal info.
(I did this myself when I opened a 2nd eBay selling acct)
I don't know what other options exist for people overseas but here in Australia you can create a visa debit account - basically an ordinary savings account with a visa number attached. It is good as if there is no money in your savings account your visa transaction gets declined. Kind of good how you just transfer the amount into the account as needed and not worry too much about the card number being used elsewhere, with no funds in it purchases cannot be made.
