use bootcamp to create a partition in your Mac HDD and install windows 7 in that... boot to windows and pay..

I feel you buddy... I've tried a few or so solutions and none of them work. Internet banking with a Mac is a no no (unless, like Thakkudu mentioned, you install windows).

Construction Bank offers a special zhifubao (Alipay) card, and I've read that with that card you won't need internet banking to pay for anything, just the card number and your password. I didn't go through with that card because the name of your zhifubao account should be the same as the name on the card and a few other things need to be the same as well. I just gave up in the end because going 2 times and waiting in line every time for what seemed like eternities, was just too stressful.

Huaxia Bank also offered a similar card and I managed to open one with the help of the staff (less stressful than Construction Bank and much easier) but in order for a person to link that card to a zhifubao account, he has to input his Chinese ID number and passport numbers don't work. So much for that one.

Nowadays I just buy stuff that have the option where I can pay when the package is delivered.

There is another way to pay online for stuff though, again with a zhifubao account. You can open one and then recharge the account at most all the 7-eleven stores, OK stores and I think also China Post. They have a service called "la ka la" and you just transfer money from your bank account into you zhifubao account. That service does have a transaction fee though. I think they take 1-2% of the amount you're transferring.

yeah, China internet services are Not MAC friendly. CMB electronic banking on Mac?  No.

Campus internet system support Mac?  No.

weird but true,, the few people I ever heard address the issue say Mac's are too expensive, not many nationals have them, so, we don't go to the trouble to support them.

c'est la vie.....
