Western Union and Pay Pal........ easy solution.

[Bigshooter]

I keep reading about people that won't order from certain dealers because the inconvenience of WU payments.

O.K. heres an easy solution, simply sign up online at WU and you can send money online using your Pay Pal debit card as payment, then the money comes right out of your Pay Pal account balance just as if you paid with Pay Pal.

If you don't have the Pay Pal debit card........ PP offers a "virtual debit" card to anyone that has an account, they assign you a temporary Debit Card number that works just like a regular debit or credit card.

Its very easy and convenient, you can do it all online in a few minutes.

Hey bigshooter,

I have a question for you about this. By doing it the way you described do you get any of the Paypal buyer protection safeguards? Or is it just like any debit card transaction with WU?

TIA for the info 8)

I don't you'll be eligible for the buyer protection thingy.

No you wouldn't be protected by Pay Pal...... only use with dealers you trust.

I was unaware of the virtual debit being unavailable in other countries, maybe just a U.S. thing.
