Title: Balsa supplier that takes PayPal?
Post by: Glenn (Gravitywell) Reach on April 09, 2009, 05:42:59 PM

Hi everyone.  I'm looking for a good balsa supplier that accepts PayPal.  I had used Lonestar before they burned down  Now that they have reconstituted the business, they no longer take PayPal.  Neither does National Balsa.  I don't use credit cards and I hate getting money orders, so PayPal is an excellent option for me.  Anyone out there know a cottage industry or something that takes it?   H^^

Money orders are cheaper than PayPal.  I mostly use a bank card that can be either debit or credit.  DOC Holliday

I use a PayPal debit card. It like a regular debit card, and PayPal will send you one. Go to the site and order one.

I believe that Paypal has discontinued the debit cards, at least for Canadian PayPal subscribers, I got one of these cards years ago and after it expired, they have not offered a new one for us Canuck paypal users.

Sorry I could not offer a soultion to the balsa problem, I will do some digging there Gravitywell and see what I come up with.

Thank you Bruce....I really appreciate that.

I don't like credit cards and Money orders even less.  I don't know about down there, but up here in Canada we have to tell the bank who its for and why for any money order over $25.00.  They seem to think that we will be supporting terrorists, $50 bucks at a time or something.  I absolutely hate what has happened to our country since the 9/11 disaster.

It will be at least a couple of weeks. Mike works at his own pace, and I have a bunch of software to re-verify. I'll announce it here when it's ready.
