Hi
I'm from Turkey and I have purchased a visa debit card from a local merchant to buy things online
But sad thing is I didn't know that these cards are bound to only work on American purchases (sites or merchants within USA)
Sadly the site I was goona purchase things on rejected the card instantly since it wasn't USA
I talked to the person who sold me the card and he said since I have the card details and it's prepaid non changeable it's mine and no refund on it
I'm stuck with $500 visa card and worse than that it has expiry in 2023 that means I have to use it before the date
Things I tried so far
Amazon : worked and 5 minutes later refunded asking for identity verification
Google play and Xbox : worked but I don't want to buy 500$ games at my 30s
Prepaidtocash and gift nanny : needed USA phone number on entry so failed
Binance : rejected, support said you need to use Binance us and sadly ssn and kyc needed
Steam : refunded the money asking for proof of address which I can't with prepaid card info
Tried buying csgo items to sell in my country but sadly even they asked for kyc since the card has USA address mandatory
Clueless what to do
Please guide me if you know anyway, it's almost a month worth of my wage and income ðŸ˜
Thanks in advance for everything you share
