what a farce, that is then big mistake there mnhq, the amount of people that dont have the facility to pay by card or cheque wont be able to go on, its like you have tarred everyone with the same brush there. its an insult to people who have been using mn for years and gained friendships and trust.
thanks for nothing

You can pay with any debit card you want hardnock, you just have to be logged in as yourself. So if you want to use your DH's then go ahead.

To be honest, I'm really surprised that a number of people don't have debit cards and cheque books. How would you ever get money out of the bank? How do you manage to get your paypal money out of paypal if you don't have a bank account?

Hi Magnolia,

You'd need to take that up with your bank. We don't get any information from them other than "accepted" or "declined". The payments are taken by worldpay - which is part of the Royal Bank of Scotland.

The usual reasons things get declined (if you have money there) are that you've entered the wrong security code or the wrong billing address. Your bank or card issuer should be able to give you the precise reason. Tell them you were making a payment to "Worldpay"

Hope this helps.

magnolia74 · 28/02/2008 12:58

tech, can you please find out why it wont accept my debit card? Its really unfair that I am now excluded from buy and sell when I have the ability to pay for Cat but can't

MerlinsBeard · 28/02/2008 13:00

an insult to ppl?

its not ebay its a parenting site with a for sale voard that is supposed to be a side part of it.

If that means you can't make £3.50 on a bag of used baby clothes then i would suggest NCT nearly new sales or bounty.

Your friendships aren't going to suffer because you have to pay a fiver. There are other topics/bopards you can post on to keep those friendships going

magnolia74 · 28/02/2008 13:00

I use worldpay for school dinners and have done that this morning no problem so its not anything to do with worldpay or my card

soremummy · 28/02/2008 13:04

Ok so if someone is logged in they can use anyone card to pay for cat? Is that right?

AitchTwoOh · 28/02/2008 13:04

sometimes the billing address is a bugger where i live, magnolia, i think they basically want you to copy it off your statement. so a G/F flat has to be written Flat 1 or some other thing or it isn't accepted. hth.

VictorianSqualor · 28/02/2008 13:06

Looooooooooooool
Another strike against the For Sale boards.
Do you not think tech has otehr things to do rather than fret about if you can pay your CAT fees?
He has already said you can use any debit card, what more do you expect them to do?

magnolia74 · 28/02/2008 13:09

Aitch, I have just used my card with worldpay to oay for something else, no problesm. Entered my details as usual.
Have phoned ban and there is no problem with my card so I am at a loss

Actually VS, it is mumsnet that has changed the way things work on here, some of us are not here to abuse the buy and sell and post all over like me but I have a problem that needs fixing so tech is needed

magnolia74 · 28/02/2008 13:09

ban = bank

FAQ · 28/02/2008 13:10

oh yes MoM - we ALL have easy to get to NCT Sales nearby......

Tech - you can don't need to have a debit or credit card - just a bank account - lots of accounts don't come with cheque books (actually I think my basic one did but I have no idea where the cheque book is now) LOL

Fimbo · 28/02/2008 13:10

But I have a card........

The problem isn't just buy and sell, I can't CAT anyone either

AitchTwoOh · 28/02/2008 13:13

that's weird, magnolia. what a drag. my bloody bank now insists on making you use a stupid little calculator thing to come up with a random number if you want to trasnfer funds, i cannot get it to work at all. lord how i loathe them. it's a shame about the paypal on MN but if it's not goiing to happen then there it is, people will get round it i'm sure by asking a mate for their card.

magnolia74 · 28/02/2008 13:14

Sorry LL, Mine is a genuine problem not a non card problem so I neeeed tech

Tech, Its not just me by the way, there were others who have had the same problem as me??

AitchTwoOh · 28/02/2008 13:15

to be fair, debbie, if it's your choice not to have a card then it's your tough luck on this occasion...

Original poster

debbie102 · 28/02/2008 13:16

thats been thought of, littlelapin as you ccan see earlier in the thread i have had 3 ppl who have offered todo this for me, but as carntsleepwontsleep has pointed out earlier she said ...

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!

that buggers that up
sorry

MehgaLegs · 28/02/2008 13:16

magnolia - I don't think tech can help with the card though. It is either World Pay or your bank that needs to sort the problem.

Fimbo · 28/02/2008 13:17

Debbie, could you not log out, get one of your mates - Krissy or whoever to log in as you (but you would need to give her your password, which you could always change afterwards) and then she can pay for you using her card.

HTH
