  yeah i dont know, shocking web design, but there are contact us details of a real person.

  No credit card method of payment? no paypal? bank eft only? what is this, the early 90's?

  We have had posts in the past that work with EFT only and also so has ebay.

  But you have no protection on purchases, there are many more reports on ebay of deals going sour which are paid only by EFT

  Unfortunately you are dealing with a lot of unknowns. I for one would think the risk wasn't worth it.

  This is no specific reflection on this poster, its just unfortunate that you dont have much protection against non delivery.

  Bargains can save money, Caution can also save money

  But no bad reports from previous posts

  Ozpete, Fairly objective comment there, though, obviously, i would have preferred no bad press about bank deposit payments :)

  I canned credit card payments last week due to my having to give the money back to the bank because some fool didn't cancel their stolen credit card before the scammer made a purchase on my site. (and i delivered to them)
  Not sure why i had to pay, as it wasnt my fault, but in the world of creidt cards, the merchant always gets screwed.

  Personally, i think it should have just been tough luck to the cardholder for not promptly reporting that their card got stolen.

  People are pretty cautious- ive only had tasmanian buyers now, probably because it isnt hard to track someone down in this little state :)

  bank account is in my personal name, and the police station is down the road in central kingston if anyone has any doubts.

  Here is a link tho their pphone number: :P

  This site is legit!
  They had a bargain listed last year: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/35273

  I bought some from them, and received the codes - They worked fine.
  There was a slight stuff up with the payment, as it went to USD instead of AUD, but the seller refunded me the money - All Ok.

  So i can personally vouch that it's ok.

  This has come at a good time, the others have just run out, so we are in need of more - Thanks Chocoholic
  I WISH THEY DID PAYPAL THO (So Much easier and Faster!)

  Greenhornet- Cheers for your supportive comment there!

  yeah, I would like to offer paypal too, but unfortuantely, they dont have any option of accepting totally secure non-recourse payments.

  Paypal (and credit card transactions generally) just have too many holes in it that harm merchants, but benefit scammers and thieves. :(

  phone credit is a low margin business- every scammer theif wipes out the profits from 20 legitimate customers!

    Fair enough! (For a smaller business thats more than enough reason not to do them)
    I'm only a buyer, so not aware of all the hassles merchants have :)

    I'll put my order through tonight.
    Cheers

  All, buyers who ordered and paid by 16:00 yesterday (01/02/2011) have now had their orders delivered! (the majority of bank desposits cleared this morning)

  Check your email!
  If its not in there, let me know, and also make sure that you have [email protected] WHITELISTED in your email account so your delivery doesnt get relegated to the junk mail box, or blocked entirely!
  Cheers!
