I tried to purchase the laptop off of .com (I live in Canada so .ca has a lot more options, but I know .com is better for refunding) and my payment method got declined. I think it is because it is a large amount of USD, so the bank is rejecting it even though I have thousands in the account I am trying to use. I might try calling the bank about it tomorrow, but I am just going under the assumption that they won't be able to fix it.
So my other options right now are to buy off of .ca and refund, or buy gift cards for .com and get it refunded to gift card. There are problems with both; .ca is hard to refund, and not many reputable refunders do ca. I wouldn't even trust many refunders to do a high prices item for me on .ca because of the police report business involved. So for gift cards, my problem is that it's still the same amount of money so my card would get declined again. I could try to break up the purchases into smaller gift cards, but I don't want my card to get blocked half way through and not have enough for my laptop. I have tried to buy agc from users in the marketplace on this site and others, but all of the sellers don't have any or enough.
What do you think my best option is?
