Paypal?

For accept foreign payments PayPal is ONLY option...


As I can see, I can pay with PayPal for example for a Propeller chip with almost no additional cost.

With bank account I have to pay at least 80 PLN (~25$) for ANY money transfer abroad. Plus some precent of the money...

So I hope Parallax will (1) accept PayPal (2) send their product with normal mail.


Now, to buy one Propeller chip I have to spend:

- $7.99 chip
- about $50 shipping
- about $30 money transfer


... Propeller chip costs $90....


Using standard mail and paypal:

$7.99 chip
about $5 shipping
about $0 paypal transfer

... Propeller chip costs $13


It is a big difference.

About PayPal hacking.. my PayPal account is empty and not linked to any bank account or credit card. I will add some money to PayPal account immediately before I need to pay.

Paypal fees are quite small, actually. It cost you $50 to transfer $2000, which is better than most money transfer systems. I'll admit I've been ripped off from PayPal before, granted it was just $20, but in general I would rather use PayPal to buy from an overseas company rather than giving them my credit card. It's also great for eBay purchases.
I would use it if Parallax offered it.
