PayPal In Germany.

[Sporran]

I am trying to buy goods from a company in Germany who require to have the money prepaid into an account before they send the goods.

Using Google to translate it looks as though they have a PayPal account, I have emailed the Company mentioning that I have a PayPal account and would prefer to use it for the transaction, I have had a reply saying that the amount must be prepaid into the Bank whose details they provided.

Has anybody encountered this ?

Paying directly into a bank account in the european mainland is much more common over there than over here.

That is why a lot of there sellers do not accept paypal.

If you trust the seller/site you are buying from its easily done.

But you won't have the same protection you have on paypal.
