T-shirts / paypal

THE SUPERMARKET

i love the shirts!
i wanted to buy a couple.
i click to buy... i see the paypal logo.
no.
i cant buy with paypal... its a long story that involves an old email address and one of their policies.
is there any other method that you will accept for payment.

I know what you are talking about...fortunatelly I bought them prior to my current (really old) account expiring for not agreeing to their "new terms". I have 80+ days til it expires.

What changed w/paypal? I used my account over x-mas but haven't heard anything about new terms. My acct dates back to 2000 or so.

After reading through the new terms, I was not down with their "arbitration" clause and all of the loopholes protecting them and not me against fraud. Sure I have probably more chance in hitting the "Powerball" than anything happening on Paypal, but it's just personal choice.

i have been running firefox on an old machine while mine is in the shop.
and i didnt get the page you were talking about so i opened in internet explorer and i now see what you are talking about.
firefox wont show the page you need to see to buy without using paypal!

so i just bought i tee via a firefox browser. the info that was presented to me was certainly different than when using ie or safari. after hitting "secure checkout" in ie and safari, it just took me to a page with a log in area and a link for users who do not have a pay pal account. upon clicking on that link, it takes me to a page that asks for my shipping address. it is very unclear at this point of whether i am giving my shipping address to set up a pay pal account or whether it is for use with a credit card. there is no info to clarify this.

when i use firefox and i click on secure checkout it takes me to a much different looking page and is as beta described in his above post.

not sure what's happening here. paul, not sure if being on a mac has anything to do with this. just glad i figured it out and got my tee.

let me clarify - when i said that you don't need a PayPal account to order t-shirts, i meant that you don't need to hold an account with PayPal to order a shirt using PayPal. PayPal is currently the only method that we use for selling the t-shirts.

e - we use mostly mac/firefox over here as our configuration of choice. we've beta tested the checkout process with other platforms and browsers and haven't noticed any differences. i'm unsure what happened differently on your end. anyway, if you placed your order tonight, your shirt will be in the mail tomorrow. hope you like it, and thanks for buying one!
