The method comprises the steps of: (a) acquiring intermediary credit account information ( 22 ) from a purchasing intermediary ( 35, 112 ); (b) providing transactional purchase information ( 24 ), including the intermediary credit account information, to a retailer ( 16, 128 ), where the transactional purchase information is provided by the purchaser ( 134 ) using a first computing device of a computer-implemented purchasing system ( 12 ); and (c) transacting a purchase ( 26 ) between the purchaser and the retailer ( 16, 126 ) using the intermediary credit account information, thereby maintaining the anonymity of the purchaser ( 134 ). A method is also provided for the inexpensive sale of cash cards ( 40 ) to a retail outlet ( 126 ) and for funding the cash cards ( 40 ) upon purchase by a consumer ( 134 ).

After the consumer ( 134 ) has purchased the cash card ( 40 ), the consumer ( 134 ) must activate the card, and the purchase intermediary ( 112 ) awards commissions.</p> |
