Stewmac and paypal..

[D.Don]

I got a bunch of things that I want to purchase on Stewmac and I got some cash on paypal that I would prefer to use for it, however Stewmac responds me with a childish stubbornness that they won't accept paypal.

It's kind of stupid as I really can't get money down to my bank account (due to the fact that I have bank in one country living in another, paypal doesnt like that), and it's my "turn around on my music hobby money" meaning that I really don't use any cash from our household on my music hobby, hence I don't want to pay them using our (me and wife) bank/cc.

Any creative ideas or solutions?

Thanks!

one solution is to transfer the money from paypal to your bank account, and then make payment from there. It takes a few days, but accomplishes the same goal. It's not a childish response from Stew Mac, it's called policy, this is a mainstay of doing business. Besides with the amount of CC business they do, the 3+% surcharge for paypal is probably much higher than their credit card processors rate.

Given the endless horror stories associated with PayPal, I certainly do not blame them...

AND, what Musiclogic said.

or get a Paypal creditcard that can access your money there, but that wouldn't be a quick solution or IMHO a smart one.

I hate Paypal an no longer accept it.

Google and Amazon both have payment services that are much cheaper and easier to use.

yeah, just buy the stuff, and have the money transfered, that way, you wont have to wait for the money, or the parts

Wooo,

Lots of bad experience with paypal I hear here!

I have been using the pal since 2002 and I was a trader at theBay for a cpl of years and have never had any troubles at all!

Anyway, I can't xfer the cash to my bank as mentioned, which never before has been a problem for me, and should I do that, I would loose quite a bit in the currency exchange since I have all my funds in USD only...

Oh well, I guess I just have to cash it from the household money and buy the Miss a cpl of new shoes or something....



Cheers!

It's hard to find, but PayPal has a "temporary" credit card option. It's a one use thing. PayPal gives you a card #, you use it, and the money comes out of your acct. I don't know how to find it, but they do have it.

It's weird to think that money laundering would be the best means of paying for something legitimately Maybe you could transfer the funds to someone you trust and have them purchase it for you?

Yeah, I have had that with paypal too, they ask a lot of questions if you move a lot of cash on paypal which I occasionally do if I trade a lot.

And yeah, I have been thinking about that, though I think I just wait until I sell some stuff IRL and cash their stuff in with household CC instead.

Cheers!

it's the PayPal plug in, that allows you to generate a one time use card number..

Thanks, quite what I suspected though, "We’re sorry but the PayPal Plug-In is currently only available in the United States and is not offered in any other country at this time."
