    I am not aware of any registrars that extend credit other than via credit
    cards. Registries all require prepayment from registrars.

    Is there some loophole I'm not aware of? Even domain tasting involves
    paying and then getting a refund. If you mean waiting long enough to
    see if the credit card bounces, that would be a swell idea but since
    it can often take more than six weeks for the cardholder to notice a
    bogus charge and complain, I suspect you'd see some pushback on a
    waiting period that long.

    R's,
    John
