    Don't put unemployed, put homemakers or something similar.

    You could get a pre paid one? It has been so long since I joined eBay that things have changed, all I needed was an email address, so a pre paid card might work, I don't know.

    Other than that, I know that credit cards issused by Sygma Bank, eg: My World, All Saints, Flybe, Accessory card, DAYS etc don't require you to work to be accepted. Some of these applications don't ask for employment details, just a box to tick for income.

    Yes. simply state Housewife etc and you would get one.

    Or if the option for housewife isn't there, then homemaker or domestic responsibilities usually is.

    Good luck :)
