Buying seeds with credit card

[OldManGrower]

As to your comment; I have recently placed two orders with seedsman and received my shipment as ordered in 8 days.

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.

Same here (few year ago in Canada) Then spent weeks trying to buy a blank money order (no can do after big borther) in the end sent cash...msnl actually no issues..was worried

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... ;-}

My last purchase from Seedsman was with Bitcoin. No issues except for USPS losing or confiscating the package near Chi-town. Seedsman sent its replacement gift wrapped the next time. I am damn near done buying seeds for a while unless a few certain ones come available.

so coffeeshop seeds takes paypal?

[Farmbuck]

Why I use Paypal now. Most don't accept AMEX and I found a good Seedbank in the UK called https://www.coffeeshopseeds.com/ never had an issue with them for the last 3 yrs.

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.

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.

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.

I love bitcoin when I buy from Seedman in Europe, but I had no problem using my Visa to buy seeds on PacificSeedBank in the US.

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 was going to suggest the prepaid cards as well. Keeps a bit of a firewall between the purchase and your accounts.

Xena i got your email a few years ago, forgot all about it.. Whatcha need, my bank account number, routing number, social security? I'll send it!!!

I feel like pre-paid credit cards are an easy fix for this. I just use a regular credit card and then pay it off. It's basically like using my bank card. Only ones I can't use are the Visa cards
