    I don't have a credit card, either. But I do have a card from my
    bank that can be used as a credit card; I "pay" for something with
    the card, tell the clerk it's "credit", I get the receipt to sign,
    and then 2 or 3 days later, the transaction is processed by my bank
    and the money is withdrawn from my account. I have an account from
    Paypal and can send and receive money with it; I'm not sure if a
    "vendor's account" is something difrerent. 

    Now, I lost all my credit cards through bankruptcy many years ago.
    I'm pretty sure I've passed the magic 10 year point and could get
    another now if I wanted. I've been thinking about it. Despite the
    occasional inconvenience, I love not having a credit card. 

    I know a woman who operates a very successful vintage clothing
    store. In talking to her about her business and how she runs it, I
    was so happy to hear that she doesn't accept credit cards! Just cash
    and checks! It proves to me that it is at least possible to conduct
    business without accepting credit.
