No PayPal?

Former Member
Former Member over 13 years ago

Hello,

 

today I got an email saying I can preorder now. I was very happy to read this and clicked the link image

On the preorder page I've entered my data and saw, there's no way to set PayPal as payment option image

 

I live in germany and I don't have a credit card. Is there any other way to pay for it?

 

Thanks for help image

 

Greetings,

LittleFox

    Hi,

     

     

    same situation here. Im also not owning a credit card.

     

     

    After a bit of googling I found a virtual prepaid "credit card" provider: http://www.mywirecard.com/mastercard.html

    Since there is no sign up- or annual fee I signed up and registered a virtual mastercard.

    I transfered some money to wirecard. Currently I'm waiting for the money to arrive on the wirecard account so I can finally purchase the R-Pi. image

     

     

    Nevertheless I don't really understand why Farnell isn't capable of providing PayPal as a payment option.

    I would also not mind paying a extra fee to use PayPal…

     

     

     

    Greetings from Munich,

    Michael

    I THINK both RS and Farnell are scrambling to get paypal payments up and running ASAP. These things take time with big companies like RS and Farnell.

    I Don't have a creditcard either, I am thinking about getting a prepaid creditcard like moneybookers, v3 or neteller. Just for online payments, but I already have paypal so it is easier for me to wait and see when other payment methods become available.

     

    Update:

    I just bought a prepaid credit card voucher at https://www.3v.ie/ got a visa code in 5 minutes.

    FYI, have a look at these posts from www.raspberrypi.org for some general Paypal ordering info.
