tonyh7 236 Posted January 23, 2020 I use PayPal with my regular td and it works well, but then we have established a relationship of trust. I used to use WU, but there are fewer and fewer outlets near me that offer it. I’ve found WU online to be a disaster, every transaction refused. Have thought of bitcoin as I’ve got a few hanging round somewhere. Anyone tried that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadApple 13,081 Posted January 23, 2020 Ask your TD about Transferwise. Low fees, instant transfer and excellent exchange rate. I use it in preference to PayPal and WU 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coinbase have put massive fees on fast trading so your options, certainly here in the UK, for a balance of speed and low fees start to shrink. I use Bitstamp but they consistently take 24 hours to convert from £ to BTC. This can result in fluctuations depending on the market at the time.However the paying the TD from there is straightforward. Certainly compared to using it to buy other stuff!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would imagine the traditional financial institutions play a part in this barrier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These are financial institution questions. You should google Transferwise and find that out easily? Just to help you along Transferwise and WU are far cheaper to use than banks and credit cards in terms of fees charged. The TD also does does not know you from a bar of soap and the replica world is littered with as many buyers who are the scammers as there are dodgy replica sellers. So they have every reason not to trust you as you them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IF you’re TD doesn’t accept PayPal then go elsewhere. my first 4 purchases of reps cost me 4 different credit card problems. All the cards were cloned and all from 4 different TDs on this site (I shall not mention any names) when a TD website gets hacked then all your details go with it, name address and credit card transactions etc most sites with numbers after their names like 03 04 etc have been a victim. not blaming the TDs fully but they aren’t secure. PAYPAL OR NOTHING i know now some smarty pants will come out with “I’ve never had any problem” etc etc well I have Sir what td are accepting paypal, because all i dound wants western union , wire transfer, cresit card.. etc... please give me names of websites and or dealers contact.

thegolfman 38 Posted July 9, 2020 New to the game and two very good transactions with WU online. Even got a coupon on the second transfer for “no fees”. I was pleasantly surprised about WU. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, but being an old geezer I'd never heard of Transferwise before reading it, and sharing some of the OP's concerns about CC's to buy my first rep (since dealers started accepting them) managed to solve that concern.

stephenc 10 Posted February 9, 2021 I'd rather stick with CC.. every single transaction is validated by fingerprint scan on the card I use for overseas transactions. I've never used any alternative methods of payment for anything and hopefully don't have to start now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welcome to the world of buying illegal watches. Hope you like paying loads of additional fees for using credit cards! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stephenc 10 Posted February 9, 2021 So far no additional fees, but then I've only purchased 2. Maybe it's wishful thinking but M2M has so far thrown up 3 watches in the last week I would have purchased and all them have been UK based, excepting bank transfers. Again, maybe this is not the norm as I am new to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
