Help needed from member w/ PayPal premier

GJW · Jul 14, 2003

An international member is trying to purchase an item of mine and would like to use PayPal.
My PayPal account does not take credit cards and my understanding is that international PayPalers MUST use credit cards.
Is there a premier PayPal member here willing to accept the payment into their account and then transfer it to mine?
I'll of course pay all transaction fees.
Thanks

International members only to use CC isn´t fully accurate

klaus, as far as i know non-US members can fund their paypal accounts only with a CC or US-based bank account. at least that's the way it is with me. this might vary from country to country though.

"Can I add funds to my non-U.S. PayPal account?

You may add funds to PayPal from a bank account if you (1) live in Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, or Switzerland or (2) have a U.S. bank account. PayPal members in Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland may add funds to PayPal from bank accounts in their home countries. All members may add funds to their PayPal accounts from bank accounts in the U.S.

Please note: you may still use PayPal to send money without adding funds to your account. You simply need to register a credit card."

See - the global statement that international members need to use CC isn´t true after all - it will be true in certain cases though. Best advice anyway for those regularly getting PayPal payments is to set up two accounts - one standard without any fees and without the ability to get CC payments and a second "premier/business" one to get only those payments by CC where you need to - with the fees.
