Why only money orders?

[Jadian21]

It's annoying having to pay for seeds with money orders, considering none of the seed banks are anywhere close to me geographically and at the moment it's hard for me to get to a bank, post office, or anything of the sort.

Why can't they just take paypal like back in the good old days!

I asked seedbay this exact question after I won a special auction from them and they said it was due to a large amount of scams or intended scamming, I wonder how that worked.

But still, that would make things so much easier!

2 or 3 accept paypal over here.They may ship across the pond,,i'll find out if you are interested.

Well I'd certainly be interested. My problem is the few sites that have prices I can afford right now (Nirvana, Seedbay, etc) basically have a money order only policy from what I've seen.

It's just that for the past month (and following week and a half) I've been at a very remote location at a Salmon hatchery doing work, and a post office or bank is just plain out of the question. I would absolutely love to arrange something online that would allow seeds to be waiting for me when I get home though ... I just keep running into this problem.

it's for your protection, also ... supposedly, PayPal gives up their info to LEO, if requested ... I don't know this for a fact, but that is the general rumor ... PayPal does link to your bank account, remember ... :smokin:

[Jadian21]

That's true I hadn't thought of that, but I've heard that paypal does give up info.

Although at this point I'd rather take that chance then have to wait another month or two to get some damn seeds :P

when I send an International Money Order (available at any U.S. Post Office) to Canadian company, Hemp Depot, with their $5 'Fast Shipping' option, I have received my seeds, here in California, anywhere from 8-12 days later, depending if I mail it Priority Mail, or not ... I also have received fast service from Growshop Alien, at least, that's been my experience ... un-traceable, I just leave the Payee blank, and let them fill it in when they receive it ... :smokin:

In all honesty I probably will do an order through Hemp Depot, but the problem remains the same. The main reason I'd rather pay online now and have seeds sent as opposed to waiting until I get back to civilization to place a money order is 3 days after I get back into town here in Alaska I'm moving to Arizona.

I shouldn't have to tell you that Alaska is 50000% more liberal in their views on pot then our friends like John McCain in Arizona, so I'd feel much more comfortable having the seeds sent to me now, in Alaska, then I would ordering them when I get down to Arizona.

See my problem?

I understand what you're saying, yup ... good luck, whichever way you go with it ... but, remember, IF you have hassles, it will likely be with the U.S. Postal Service, (not only for shipping, but also wire violations regarding credit card transactions), and Uncle Sam don't care WHICH state you're in, or how liberal your residents are ... :jointsmile:

Mandala Seeds accepts cash. I was a bit reluctant to send cash in the mail, but I got my seeds just fine. They're really cheap too.

Still, money orders and cash are preferred because they're not traceable. And if you're in the US, you don't want anyone tracing your marijuana seed purchases.
