Is it safe?

Is it safe to use the 10 days free trial premium membership?.

Yes, but you'll need a credit card to sign up.

I think not.

But after the trial period is over, (or during it, perhaps?) you should be able to make a payment via whatever supported way you want, and paypal is definitely one of them.

If you don't have a credit card, then you can still upgrade with this:

No. of Indian members are second after US members on chess.com. Chess.com must prvoide some payment gateaway through netbanking in India. Our bank doesnot even suport payment through paypal. SOMEBODY PLEASE CONVEY THIS TO CHESS.COM ADMINS. I AM CONFIDENT THERE ARE MORE INDIAN MEMBERS WHO WISH TO UPGRADE BUT CANT DUE TO CC CONSTRAINT.

adiva05, what methods would you suggest them to implement?

There are very good and safe ways to make payments by mobile phone.

I've used Zong Mobile on various other sites, and it works great.
