Even credit card goes through PayPal for us. Where are you? If USA, we can find a way to Venmo, etc

We use PayPal but you can use credit card through PayPal. Did you have another preferred method?

I've had security problems with paypal in the past, so am reluctant to use it. Is it possible to call directly with credit card info, and purchase that way?

Very curious. What was your security problem?

The beauty of PayPal is that you give your card to them once, and they interface with the merchant and reimburse them, as opposed to giving multiple merchants your card. So security should be better with PayPal since they are known and trusted, as opposed to many small merchants.

Additionally, if a security breach occurs, you’re at greater risk with your card data at multiple merchants as opposed to one.

I've never heard of anyone having a problem with PayPal, let alone 'problems'

What are these security problems you have had?

Buyer

Instead of the buyer sending the item they sent a dirty ashtray. They sent tracking info to PayPal

They found in the sellers favor. I contacted state atty generals office and PayPal banned me

This was 15 years ago Have repeatedly tried to get an account but unsuccessful

But then again before this all happened I bought a dodge viper paying through PayPal multiple 10k payments (their max at the time) and all went well so you never know

Wow, I've heard many stories of dodgy buyers and Paypal siding with them over the seller, but never the other way around, that's terrible!

I’m not in tune with retailers, but thought I heard overall sales are down. The bike industry and Tri sales seem to be down also. Thinking this should translate into a return to some good Black Friday deals?
