My bank wont allow international purchases, what to do??

[Jackf21792]

I have been trying to purchase seeds this past week, but my bank declines every attempt. They say that policies have recently changed and that they dont allow international purchases. Does anyone else have this issue? If so, how do you work around it?

Can you buy bitcoin?

What he said.

gotta be foolish to buy bitcoin at these levels. was below $900 last spring. if this isn't still a bubble after the drop what the hell is it "irrational exuberance"? Just checked BTC price at $10,089.00 with the Coinbase app on my iPhone. I might buy again when it drops below $900.00. Some people have more money than brains!

[Locrian99]

starramus if you are buying it just to buy seeds with what does it matter what price it is at?

[UrbZ]

most reputable seedbanks will take cash as well. You also get a discount for using $$$. just takes a bit longer.

[PRIMO]

Get a new bank, screw them and their policies, its your money. Get a prepaid c.c.,or send cash or money order.

Sent cash to both nirvana and seedsman everything came through.

[starramus]

scary, but it tells us who is honest. gotta be kinda slow though.

[Jibblerjoe]

starramus Yeah little slower, but you still get a couple emails, to let you know it processing.

I started a second checking account liked it to bitcoin takes about a week for money to clear but it works all my CC and Debit refused to pay bitcoin guess its there way of fnn the bitcoin lol

[starramus]

My CapitalOne CC will allow bitcoin purchases.

Buy from a Seedbank in your own country and use debit. That's what I do.

[GreenhouseEffect]

Heads up, that if your in the united states, it is riskier to buy seeds from another state, then to have shipped from overseas. Guess it's do to archaic laws we have. Nebula talks about it a bit in the Seeds section of tutorial. My bank has no issues doing overseas payment, regardless I would get a new bank, it's your money, and there policy is unreasonable.

[Boco2017]

I actually work for a financial institution, alot of them you just need to tell them the country and tell them you are traveling their for the day and they can and will allow the transaction in that country. However if the country processing the payment is on a "black list" due to extreme amounts of fraud visa/MasterCard can deny all transactions for that reason. But that's not very common.

[starramus]

CapitalOne CC very flexible for bitcoin purchase.

i ordered with debit in usa internationally (first time buyer and grower here) and 1st order attempt failed because my bank didnt accept intl. orders so i just had to call and tell them and place order again boom! done.

[uncledoug]

I sent cash to Nirvana and had seeds in 3 weeks, that includes a week for my money to get there. They will email you when the money is received and when they ship them.
