URGENT question re: visa application fee

WabenoUID: 2733688

Due to my itinerary, I don't have time to pay application myself at CITIC bank with my original passport (late arrival and early interview appointment). I've asked my friend in Beijing to pay it for me but was told "have to pay with original passport, we don't take passport photocopy". Fortunately, I found one CITIC branch that can do this without original passport but they can't print my name on the receipt, they said "you can write down you name on the receipt and it will work".

Can someone tell me is this true? Will that cause any unnecessary trouble?

Thanks a bunch!

感觉上似乎是可以的，因为有很多在网上买收据的人；
具体还是需要你问一下使馆方面行不行，发传真或者电话；

偶听说，以前是不会打名字的；也就是收据买了再写自己的名字，这样存在转让的情况。

现在都是需要会印上自己名字的……偶的建议是，签证收据可以在签证当天才买，如果楼主还是买不了的话；那也只能这样操作，既然中信的员工都说可以……
