OCUK and paypal

David230 · 1 Apr 2006 at 23:43

Its a shame OCUK dont offer its customers the choice of paying via paypal. I know I for one would buy a lot more from OCUK, IF that payment method were available.

The only other alternative available to me is my Dads C/card!! Not ideal, so I keep being told.

Why isn't your dads c/card ideal?

Violent-J · 1 Apr 2006 at 23:44

Yeah but as a lot of people know, paypal sucks, they are rip off merchants, especially for sellers.

How about you get a solo card? Or are you 13yrs old?

We take cards anyway so unless you keep a Paypal stash constantly then what is to be gained?

David230 · 2 Apr 2006 at 00:03

Dont need a card and dont really want one. Just I use 2 other sites to order and pay using paypal. I'd just like to use OCUK more.

Oh yeah, BTW I'm not 13 try adding 10yrs to that.

I hope this is the last time we see OcUK and Paypal in the same sentence let alone in a thread title.

Anyways O.P. i use this card.
Initial set up cost and a 5 quid monthly charge. It acts as a debit card you can top up. Perfect for internet trading etc.

Even if you have to be over 18 you could get your dad to sort it out for you and you could give him the cash to top it up prior to any trading. :cool:

if you have a bank account with nearly all banks you should have a debit card....

David230 · 2 Apr 2006 at 00:17

sounds reasonable Malc30, thanks for the info.

So you don't need a card but your complaining about not being able to pay for things easily with OcUK, which would need a card in the first place.

Even if you did get a credit card you don't have to use it, and your going to have to eventually start building a credit history.

The forums already seem to be PayPal customer support so I guess it would be the next logical step

I can't imagine there would be any point though.

This thread suggests otherwise

And if you don't need one now, you will in future when you move out of your parents'.

Sirrel Squirrel · 2 Apr 2006 at 10:24

Surely you must have a bank account at 23, just use the debit card that they gave you to pay for stuff online

Every time you need some cash you have to march into a bank and withdraw over the counter?

I expect with Paypal it would be far easier for OcUK to be defrauded.

Paypal says transaction reversed

Professional grown up companys dont use PayPal to take payments.
