Why can't I/we buy with a credit card?

Huh?

I don't have a paypal account and I live in England so I don't have easy access to US$ or Euros, so I can't go through mail order.

You used to be able to buy with a credit card, why not now?  :(

go to www.paypal.com & you can just use your credit card that way.

Everytime I try to order using a credit card on Paypal, it keeps saying this order cannot be funded with a credit card.


Now I may just be being really stupid, but I'm stuck. So could anyone draw up simple step by step plans on how I'm meant to work Paypal.

I'm currently striking a new deal with another credit card processor as iBill had become a headache to deal with with all kinds of fines and fees for no good reason.

BTW, pound sterling in cash will also be fine as I regularly go to England :)

How long will that take?

Usually, the Observer takes two days from the UK here, so it logically shouldn't take much longer than four days.

Alright, I worked out that TNM7 SE, Database Cleaner & Tweak Circ SE came to $45. According to http://www.xe.com/ucc/ that is £24.89. If you work this out to be the same I'll go write a cheque.

Isn't the American dollar worth more than the pound???
