About to make first order

[Doglover]

Hi everyone! First time buying from China and was reading about a lot of people getting payment instructions etc, was wondering why people don’t just buy through the site at credit card terminal? Any tips or info is greatly appreciated.

Because the credit card option most of the times it’s operated by a third party that will get you the worst exchange rate possible + extra fees applied by them.


Also some banks automatically will decline any credit card transaction from that kind of sites.

I too am curious about alternative methods of purchase as well, as I have purchased previously via credit/debit card and had no hassle but it seems they are not currently accepting orders made via card at the moment if the email newsletters are to be believed, and I am dying to make another purchase but I dont really have any other means of purchase outside of cards...

What to do???

I used Bitcoin with Trusty Time and got a 5% discount. Andrew is top notch, so get yourself setup with Bitcoin (I used Coinbase). I was able to transfer funds from my debit card strait into Coinbase (within minutes) and then use Bitcoin to pay. Be careful who you deal with, as they can screw you hard. But I can attest to dealing with Andrew at Trusty Time. He is responsive, and trustworthy (at least in my experience). I just completed my first purchase with him (or any TD), and I am very pleased.
