Many of the TD are having issues with credit card payment processors. You have to remember they are finding ways for you to use your credit card to buy illegal goods. Western Union is a very good option and going in person to a Western Union place is the easiest and will work every time.

Very few dealers will accept PayPal at all. Some will take it from established customers they know and trust. They take a huge risk when they accept PayPal---

1. Paypal rules forbid using PayPal funds to but/sell counterfeit items. So, it's very risky for a dealer (TD) to accept it.
2. Buyers have, in the past, filed PP disputes against dealers that were nice enough to accept PP. This results in the sellers account being frozen or closed.... the dealer can lose much money as a result of this. For that reason, they don't take PP in general. You won't find any TD accepting PP Gift.

As a new member, the best way to make a purchase is to use WU. DON'T do it online. It's likely to be blocked or denied. Go into a WU retail location and pay that way. The TD will give you the payment info.

Hope it all works out for you.

Did you try it online or go into a retail location? Online will likely be blocked. Going into a WU retail location is your best bet.

Just search google for "western union locations" in your area and you'll find a ton. Doesn't have to be an actual Western Union building; many places can do it like convenience stores and grocery stores, or places like Cash Money or w/e. It may seem strange and kinda "idk about this..." at first but don't worry. Get the info from the seller and then go in person to one of these places, fill out the send money form and pay by cash or debit and you're done. Give the transaction number to the dealer and wait for the QC. Very simple and the best way for new buyers, especially if you're having CC problems on some sites.

You know the addiction has really taken hold when you start buying watches from members to tide you over while you're waiting on an order from a TD.
