Just wondering if there's an option somewhere I'm not seeing to still buy shit directly with my card without dealing with paypal. If not I'll just deal with it. I know a bunch of people will say "you're being dumb" "paypal is super rad" I just want to skip paypal if possible.

The referenced post has been removed.

YEah I won't send more than like 20 bucks cash in the mail. And I would even try it internationally. I guess I'll just get paypal going. I just prefer to use my card directly instead of putting money into another account to buy something.

Oh well.

Setting up a credit card on PayPal is super easy and free. Then in the future you can use PayPal for pretty much any transaction and then you can send people money via a credit card as well. Just set it up you won't regret it.

Apparently I made one at some point that I can't access. I can't make one using that email now and I don't think I'm going to link it to a random account.


I wish I was a baller but it's not in the cards for this guy

Venmo is for you haha, if it's peer to peer, you can use venmo.

My friends use it all the time to split tabs and stuff. I don't think there's buyer protection though so you might be fucked if a deal goes wrong.

We're working on a new store solution that will directly take credit cards. No idea when it will be ready though.

Yeah but i don't know the answer to my security questions, ALso emailed them and got a reply that "they want to help me" but cant because I hit them up from an un confirmed email . I don't even care about my previous account I just want to be able to use my email. Maye I'll use another amail to tell them I want to use my regular email and to stop being big meanies.

Has anyone heard much about Google Wallet? It seems pretty sweet.

Hopefully soon. PLEASE TAKE ALL MY MONEY

I don't have any checks from my account back in murica with me. I'll probably end up doing that with you or someone when I get back and throw them additional money for a 6er of berrrs or something.

If you don't want to use paypal, and don't even want paypal to have your credit card number (or if you don't have a credit card) you could always buy a prepaid credit card and use that through paypal

You probably still have to put it through your account though. My problem is I made one a few years ago and can't access it which is dumb.

Maybe I'll use a random email and just link it. Idk maybe I'll send a check when I get back to the states.

I wanna be a baller but maybe I don't have it in me.
