Hi, I have HDFC debit card and I am planning to do a shopping with it. I see that I can take advantage of Netsafe (I have not registered yet for netsafe). My problem is product I planned to purchase is worth 50 US $ and I see demo of making netsafe card @ http://www.hdfcbank.com/personal/payments/netsafe.htm ,which shows amount in INR. But I need them in US $$. So how I should proceed. Specifically- * How much INR I should put to convert them into 50 US$$? * What is currency conversion rate? * How much fee is deducted for generating netsafe cards? * What is net(total INR) and effective(INR for currency conversion and netsafe fee) amount I need to spend to generate 50 US $$? * Is there any option on netsafe to convert amount in US $$ or other currency? Too many questions!!! but I think guide will not only helpful to me but also other 'n' no. newbies who will use search engine for this query. I get linked to this GREAT forum from google.
The bank will charger 3-4% extra as currency conversion charges. Anyway however INR you put in the card, after you make the purchase the balance amount will be credited back to your account. So there is nothing to worry. And netsafe is a ONETIME use card.
try this as well : https://netsafe.hdfcbank.com/ACSWeb/enrolljsp/CardholderFAQ.jsp Better buy from a Credit Card IMO.
One more quick question: If I want to buy Rapidshare account from forum(I see most people accept paypal for 5$/mo Rap. account), how should I pay them? Thanks.
