Apaqrently they are not adding payapal as a payment method in which case i think alot of users will be leaving the site and going elsewhare which is a real shame

I think that they will take a cheque.

So... they take cash, cheques, debit cards, credit cards. In fact, every method of payment except paypal.

Tis a shame, sure, but if they can't take paypal, they can't take paypal.

If you want to bring the cash to me, I'll put it on my card for you.

Oh dear. Considering that so many sellers are skint mums who may well not have a card, I think that is unfair.
I shall have to ask a friend to borrow their card. How embarrassing.
Thanks MNHQ

How does having a bank card indicate you are better off than anyone else?? Don't all bank accounts come with debit cards these days?

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 28/02/2008 11:30

My 15 year old has a debit card and he earns £20 a fortnight washing up in a pub kitchen

Get yourselves into the 21st century!

moljam · 28/02/2008 11:31

so you can pay cash?how?

itsahardknocklife · 28/02/2008 12:07

I have a bank account, with a cashpoint card. I earn a reasonable wage (I'm a teacher) but my credit is not good enough to have a debit card. If that puts me in the last century, ShinyHappyPeople, then so be it.

fryalot · 28/02/2008 12:08

If the whole point of having to pay for it is so that MN has traceable details for you (which I understand it is), then of course you can't get someone else to pay on their card for you!

Hi, we can't take paypal without doing quite a bit of development work (as the CAT system has been around since before we took paypal for anything at all). Unfortunately, we don't have the resources to do that at the moment.

FAQ · 28/02/2008 12:44

so.......if you don't have a debit card (many people don't) you don't have a cheque book (again many people don't) and don't live near enough to MNHQ's to go and give them cash you're b*ggered really

moljam · 28/02/2008 12:46

FAQ-yep thats me buggered.

itsahardknocklife · 28/02/2008 12:47

I was hoping to pay with DH's debit card later on, but if you can't use someone else's then I guess I can't.
Great

magnolia74 · 28/02/2008 12:52
