    No mention of visa electron being accepted on the site only:

    Visa
    MasterCard
    Discover
    American Express
    Switch
    Solo
    Maestro

    You'll have to use a different card.

    Its a real pain Switch Solo Maestro Are not given out anymore by the banks they have been replaced by electron and a card i can't think of the name of.
    So that means 50% of the cards they take are no longer used by people.

    If you are talking about Under 18 accounts - What you are saying can't be right,
    HSBC and NatWest still give out Solo Cards:

    It actually says now on Google Checkout:

    Process card payments from Visa (excluding Visa Electron), MasterCard and Maestro (including Switch/Solo).
