APPLE ID Doesn't have a credit card

Upon making a free account to publish my books apple comes with an error message


"The following error(s) occured:

this apple ID does not have a valid credit card on file. Go to the Itunes Store to update this account with valid credit card information before trying again."


I always use prepaid itunes card to do my apple purchases

I do not want to give apple my credit card

I'm applying for a free books account, why is my creditcard needed?


Any tips to get around this are appreciated.

Hi. Apple has well they do in australia anyway, a website called Payclick. It's like Paypal but it's apples version. You can create a Payclick account, wel, you can here in Australia anyway, and then use it like you would use Paypal. All you need to do is link your Payclick account with a bank account then you transfer money from the bank account to your Payclick account. What I did was create a second bank account with my normal bank and I only use that account for Paypal or Payclick purchases.
