Hi guys,

I'm French (ok, nobody is perfect!). :p

I'd like to buy 2 watches from Puretime... They are offering only:
- Alipay (impossible to create an account since there is no French regional code for the phone number)
- Bitcoin (I don't have any)
- credit card (2 methods are refused - failure)
- no bank tranfer available

Any help?
Any French guys who suceeded in buying puretime ?

Thanks for your help

Your bank will automatically block any transactions to China - you need to contact them and tell you want to make a purchase on a China based web site and for them to allow the transaction.

Thanks. I'll try but without hope.
That is why I prefer PayPal but Puretime and InTime refused. I am so sad since I really want to buy those 2/3 watches...

Bank wire should be fine but no answer....

I d'ont know how you managed to buy from all the dealers

Bitcoin if the long term way and hassle free way to pay. Learn how to use it, not so hard then you are set for future buying experience.

Bitcoin is the best way and it will be the only way in the future to pay for illegal goods. As machim suggested, try to learn how to use it, you can use it to buy from all dealers here without any hassles.

I purchased a watch on puretime this week, payment in BTC with Coinbase. Very easy, fast, i'm also French, PM me if you want some help.
There is an explicative video on PT web page.

You also have the option to open a Revolut or N26 account. Free debit card, no fees, best exchange rate and you can only use it for online goods if you want.
This way, you won’t send you « normal » credit card to a website.

I use N26 with PT and I never had any issue.

Good to hear, never heard about the Revolut or N26, are they country specific or any nationality can use them?

Revolut is handy when you are in the EU and buy items outside the EU,...no extra cost , only conversionrate...

I see, its very suitable for the OP

Yes, same thing for N26. Only online banking, N26 is in Germany, Revolut in Uk, but no extra cost and also only conversion rate.

The best way for serial online buyer imho :)

Yeah we do need more info like these :)

I know USA is strict on ICOs but I am not sure if USA citizens are allowed to trade cryptocurrencies.
