Why is it that so many suppliers to this hobby only accept paypal?My credit card is an online credit card, and paypal does not accept this card at all, I don't want to get a proper credit card as I have had problems before, yet I can't buy anything to do with this hobby, I've bought tons of other things, from all over the net, but because paypal doesn't accept the epassporte cards, I can't buy for this hobby.Insane :(The fees for epassporte are lower than paypal for starters :) but the only disadvantage, is you can't withdraw money to your bank account, only cash :)

I do not know "epassports" but the reason I use Paypal is because of buyer protection.PP also offers seller protection against fraudulent credit cards.In order to offer this kind of 100% bi-directional protection I assume that PP prefers working with reputable CC companies which have a full and professional tracking, security etc. systems behind them.

Go to your bank and get a debit card for your checking account. It works the same as a credit card for Paypal and just about anything else on-line.The only difference is that you don't get a monthly bill to pay off, it's deducted from your checking account within a day or two if not hours.

I get payment to epassporte for some online work I do, and so do most of the online purchases through them.Just annoyed at paypal more than anything - and that everyone in the cockpit hobby seems to only use it.I bought all my CH products using it, software for FS using it - but cockpit? nada :(

The frustration is clear, when you feel like a choice is forced upon you. And yes, in this hobby paypal is being used very much, so if you can't beat them, join 'm ;-)On the other hand I must say that I started to use paypal and am very pleased with it. Once I got a fraudulent phishing-mail and I forwarded it to paypal and their reponse was very swift and to the point. So this is the benefit when using it. And I had to send money to some mates and this was done in a few clicks. Hope you find a solution...

Unless I missunderstand you can use Paypal and pay directly out of your bank account instead of credit card, it seems here you are a verified user and you get a bit more status!!Steve

That really is beside the point, I don't want to take the money out of my bank account, I work on the side - and that's my hobby money, it's non-taxable etc.To put that money into my account, and then if I get audited - god help me if they ask where I got it from :)Paypal have also made some decisions that have affected people I work with, and for - so I don't like to support them either :)Oh well, I'll find someone local who can make the boards, and panels, withdraw the money via epassporte, pay them cash - will cost more, and will need to find it, but if I can't buy them online, I have no choice.Would of liked to support the people already making them though.I'm surprised that a dedicated FS shop online couldn't stock this stuff on the side, even if they took orders, added a bit, and just forwarded it on, would be nice to find most things under one roof as they say.Ultimately, I will still get the parts, just not through the vendors online.PS - If any shop online was reading this and was keen to do something like this, feel free to msg me :)
