I do not wish to link my paypal account to my bank account due to all the problems that I have heard about. I also keep my paypal balance low or empty. So typically my ebay purchases get paid through paypal from my credit card - but today I am having problems with the CC authorisation. I think...

Hello Have found an items through a sales site (not ebay) that I have agreed to buy. Seller does not have paypal, so either bank transfer / postal order / cheque. None of the above methods offer any guarantee to me? I'm waiting to hear if he would take a card payment. What do people think...
