I’ve seen the discussion on several different threads. The way my bank works is they automatically deny any charges from China or Europe, I don’t remember who I ordered from now but I even called my credit card and told them I was going to have a charge coming in from the UK and it was still denied. So a lot of the problems people are having are due to what bank their card is issued from.

I tried to use my credit card but couldn't get it to go through so I ended up going the Bitcoin route. I found a machine nearby and used cash to buy Bitcoins. Ended up working really well. Not sure if that's an option for you but may be something to look into. I also tried buying Bitcoin online but they wanted to use a bank card or account and I didn't feel comfortable with it. I felt transferring cash for Bitcoin was the better method.

I send cash or a check if they take it, that's all i've ever used. I've not been ripped off yet. I use New420Guys seeds. Same with overseas cash in a birthday card or some random card, really never had issue. I've not bought overseas in close to 2yrs now so i'm sure the issues are always banking and getting around the legalities.Smoke Ganja create Peace Respect Nature don't trash the Planet

anyone tried High Supplies seeds? there prices look very good, and they accept credit cards. I ordered from seedsman, my bank rejected, and immediately sent me a text, if i wanted to accept the charges, said yes, and it went right through. that was at the end of 2018. I hear seedsman has issues now, and wouldn't buy from them.

If you're in the US, I'd recommend https://www.greybeardseeds.com/. I bought my last batch of seeds from them with a credit card, and had zero issues. They have some of the best prices and flat rate shipping to the US ($5). Ordered on a Friday and had them the following Saturday. Everything was in the breeder packaging, I Bought six seeds and they threw in two for free. Their selection is top notch too.

Hah! That's what we all say: I don't have to buy seeds: I can take it or leave it... Until the shakes set in... ;-}
