indeed Pensaboy,

register on the PayPal site and choose for connecting your credit card to PayPal

What is eCommerce? Maybe that is the place to use your credit card.Try it, worse case scenario it won't be what you are looking for.

I will not use PayPal under any circumstances.  I was able to buy sticks using my Visa Debit card.  Choose Saferpay eCommerce, and it will let you put in the card number.  When I first tried to order, it wasn't working, but it's been fixed and I got my order through and received the sticks with no problem.

Two reasons. 

First, they screwed up the account I had - charged $595 to it AFTER I had spoken to their Fraud department and received e-mail confirmation that the charge was bogus, then took more than a month to get the money back into my bank account.

Second, when they told Smashwords they had to remove some books for sale on their site or PayPay would no longer process payments for them, that tore it.  If someone wants to buy books, the payment system only needs to know the amount.  What the books are is NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS.

That's why.

Its like travel agency's and airplane companies , there are always people who have a personal thing to complain about and the may be right, still a hotel can be good for others and planes don't drop from the sky regularly .
I am sure somebody must have had a negative experience with Saferpay ecommerce also , that's the way that the world goes round.

For a moment I thought my money wasn't safe 

I guess the capitals are an expression, though I do understand without

Enough, I say.  Enough of this Paypal bashing!  Personally I think they can be great for their users (well some of them):

Hahahahaha!!  I particularly liked the currency conversion from dollars to pounds ($92 quadrillion =

Never had any trouble with paypal. I received some fishingmails a few months ago, wanting me to login on my account. Recognized it so I didn't. I sent the mails to their fraud department and they were happy to receive them. If you use it the same as your bankaccount and never react at fishingmails you will have no problems. That's what I think.

Very useful to pay eachother around the globe imho

Wahahaha  one reason to use PayPal under whatever circumstances ...the only way to be a quadrillionair
for a minute...and have the Guadrillionair Blues 

I agree Ingrid

Never have any issues with Paypal.  I've used it for many many years.  It's the convenience that appeals to me the most.  Hate filling out credit card numbers and so forth.

Well, I could tell you my unhappy story about Paypal, but it is not relevant here. One thing I can point out is that it has almost become almost a monopoly and as such I am very sceptical.

Yes, I too have an unhappy experience using PP on ebay with a "chargeback" and the buyer found himself with a beautiful Leica M4 and the money he paid for it back into his account!  They also don't operate from Luxembourg for nothing.
