Does your debit card not have a visa/mc logo? In the US credit cards and debit cards work exactly the same online. Only difference is you get points/cashback on credit cards.

If not, can't you walk into a grocery store and buy a $500 prepaid visa card?

I have never seen a grocery store sell something like that here, but maybe that is because I just never paid attention to that.

Not that I am saying it is super hard to get a credit/debit card, but it sure is one hell of a barrier to throwing money at open source contributers here and there.
