Help me pay a US merchant
 

Just trying to but some things i really need from a US supplier. Costs a few thousands dollars.

I have a us shipping address.

Vendor has paypal checkout but when i select billing as UK, even with the US shipping address paypal makes me open an account and not pay as a guest.
When i've opened an account it seems to designate it as a UK account and won't let me buy from the seller "only ships to US addresses."

Someone in the paypal forum said "You can't add an international address to a country specific paypal account."

So how can i pay this US vendor and get them to ship to my US address?

Make a new paypal account with my US address and a virtual debit card? Or will i then have to do paypal checks like add a us bank account?

Cheers :thumb:

Have you asked the US supplier any other way of paying than using paypal?

yeah they only accept paypal or US card

Can't you just 'send' money in paypal to their email address without using the checkout process? Let them know your trouble, and ask for their paypal email address... then just send it to them that way.

No i asked them via live chat if they could send a money request to me but they wouldn't
Everything has to be directly via their website for inventory and stuff :/

Try not to send money to anyone you don't know on this forum or anywhere else.

Even if you created a new PayPal I doubt you'd be able to send a payment of that amount.

Hope you get this sorted.

i won't be seeking help from any scammers :p

Could i use entropay (no paypal) to pay for the items if they only accept a US debit card?
Or would $7,000 be too high for an entropay card?

I wouldn't recommend using entropay for such amount.
