nsbca7, ROFL. if you actually did that, I'd be pretty stoked.
PS. I am not suggesting that DPC DROP paypal, just find other options.
BTW, for purposes of clarification, My problem with Paypal is RANT. My suggestion to unhitch for the purposes of making DPC available to more people internationally is WEBSITE SUGGESTION.
Clearly, sending a check is an option, but a lot of people can't be bothered. Hassle factor is still a factor.
For me, sending a check is a matter of getting checks sent from Canada so I can send a check to DPC. Seeing as I have never used checks before this is what I call hassle. Forgetting about it is easy to do as well. It's not seriously very high on my list of things to do as I go about town. I am not alone in this though, I assure you. |

OK. I'm now officially stoked.
I'm going to be ridiculously happy for the rest of the day, possibly week.
A HUGE shout out to notonline. Heck of a guy! We need to have more like him.
PS. notonline is someone whom I have noted as a particularly straightforward guy in the forums and in his comments. I have already campaigned for more of this sort of honesty.
We can't have this sort of helpful community without guys who are open and balanced and forthcoming.
Three cheers for notonline - a real contributor.
Thanks |

I'd like to point out that paypal is sometimes a necessary evil for some non-americans... there are two sides to this argument after all. What about having to have a visa / mastercard to pay? In the UK, paypal takes switch/maestro, which lets me pay for services on websites that would otherwise demand a credit card (i decided not to renew my credit cards this year, nothing but trouble). If it weren't for paypal, i wouldn't be able to pay for membership or dpcprints, or sell on ebay.

How long ago did you contact them, and how?

mod, if you have a credit card that exists outside of paypal, you may still be able to use a credit card without any difficulties. I don't know if you are in a similar situation to me or not.
What part of China do you live in? What is your bank? Do you speak Chinese? Do you have access to checks? Do you have a bank in another country? Do you have a local or a foreign credit card? |

| I've been trying to renew my membership through paypal. It expires tonite. They want a credit card. I give them my number, and they say they allready have it. I guess they want a second credit card number. I'm not giving them that. Where do you mail in a check. |

Walk me through the process step by step. Please tell me exactly what you are doing at each step, and exactly what error messages you are receiving.

| I'm fine until I put in my password for paypal. I get a page that says Add Credit of Debit Card. I put in my credit card and I get an error that says "This card is allready registered in your PayPal account" I can't go on from there. |

When I put in my password I am getting a screen that looks like this:

Are you getting anything like that?
If not, you may want to log into your PayPal account directly, and confirm the status of the credit cards on your account. You might need to update an expiration date, for example.
Either way, it sounds like a PayPal issue.

| No, I'm not getting that. It must be a Paypal issue. That's a good suggestion to log on there. I have only used Paypal for this site recently. Thanks for your help |
