Paying a supplyer

So I don't have a credit card and I have no chance of getting one. Do you think a supplier would accept a gift card (the kind that you buy at the store and it works like a debit card). Thanks.

 

depends on the supplier most dont even accept credit cards, ask about Western Union or something

 

Why cant you just send him the actual money?
My online supplier takes CASH.

 

Yeah most p[laces won't take a credit card. But you need one for like anything. Just do a money order or cash in mail.

 

Money Order seems the safest bet.

 

use a bank transfer. Its instantaneous and you can have receipt of it (unless you dont want papers)

 

You can use a VISA debit card, which accesses your own savings (there is no actual credit limit), these are available from most banks.

Then you can send via WU online or at an agency.

Not sure if the VISA debit cards exist outside of Australia though, but I'm pretty sure they would

 

money order sounds really smart.
anyone can get one, and you don't have to put your name on it.

 

Money order, ok. I don't have a suppler yet so I didn't really have an idea of what to expect.

 

money order if you dont mind it taking a few more days... Western Union if you dont mind paying a fee and having it there tomarrow

 

Cash seems to work just fine..once you know you can trust the dude.

 

No. Cash in the mail is extremely risky. If someone steals it, its gone and there's nothing you can do to find it or get it back. Then that creates ripples in the trust you have with your supplier.

If the supplier has been using the same address for awhile, people will catch on and start stealing the money on it's way there. It happens a lot.

 

Bingo.

 

i apologize for asking this question for the 1000000th time.
but which payment method do you frequent researchers use?
which ones allow you to get your funds back if the deal falls through?

and if a supplier is only selling illegal chems does that mean that even if he ripped you off you couldnt really do anything about it?

 

NOWHERE will get you your money back. That's the biggest part of 'taking the plunge' as the first buyer from a new source, and being crafty about who you buy from with established sources. And even then you can still get fucked over.

Most people use Western Union as most sources accept it. But usually for large orders ($200+). Another extremely obnoxious payment method that nearly every place will force you to use what is called e-currency (E-Gold, Pecunix, Liberty Reserve, ect.). It it singlehandedly the most ridiculous shit ever. And leaves you wide open to get your money stolen BEFORE you even get the chance to pay the supplier.

Other less popular ones are Green Dot which uses a preloaded credit card system. I don't understand it because I've never gotten to use it. Very few sources accept this, but it's catching on and seems to be a favorite. That and the ever infamous cash-in-mail. Also bank wires and sometimes even credit cards (which is the worst idea ever).

 

...quite possibly the best method of all...

moneyorder

 

And yes, that too. Which is a very good method. I'll be using it from now on when I can. Turns out my money got to where it needed to be fine, but I'm not taking the chance again.

 

I would always go for money orders, but my current source accepts only Western Union.

 

We'll I've used cash with no problems for 3 shipments from the good ole Canadian rc man.

But after your comments perhaps I should reconsider and start using International Money Order instead..

Course he is out of M1 now anyway so until I broaden my supplier list I shall just have to wait and hope.

Thanks for the comments on cash. :cheers2:

 

Does any body know in which countries K is still legal. With all these scammers I think it is more reliable to buy it directly and in legal a way...
