Minecraft ruined my day... =*( Help?

Ok so I been wanting to buy minecraft for a while now and have trying to figure out how to pay for it since i have no credit card and you still need credit card to pay for stuff using pay pal so i decided i would buy a prepaid mastercard gift card. So i walked in the snow to my local stop and shop and bought a $25 mastercard prepaid debit card. I was convinced this would work until i came home tried it and it was denied saying transaction error. I was pissed but then i thought it might be because it can only be used in the US and minecraft is bought in Euros so i tried attaching my credit card to my paypal and buying it that way still didnt work. I googled some stuff and so a thread abut sending money to a dummy account and buying it with that because the money is no longer attached to the card so i did that only to find out that you need credit card attached your paypal to buy anything >=\ and when i removed the card from my acc and tried to put it on this one there were insufficient funds for them to test the card with... so now the money is on an account that i cant use (which is completely ******* retarted why do you need a credit card to use money you already have) for anything and the card is empty and useless and im pissed off and o yeah i forgot about minecraft and im still pissed is there anything i could do to get my moneyback or be able to use the money? please help im about to throw my computer out the window.
