I don't quite get it... shouldn't there be a local internet story in Spain where you can buy a laptop via bank transaction?
There are really only disadvantages if you buy a laptop from the US via paypal compared to buying it in the EU.

You don't have the paypal credit card? They offer a credit card that works directly from your Paypal account. It's not a regular credit card, it's just based on what you have in your account (no interest).

what about a check or money order?

Damn... I was hoping that wouldn't be a problem (being in Spain).

Joao Sapiro

all my money is in paypal , so checks are kinda hard :S

Justin Meisse

that's a bit risky, what if they freeze your account?

Joao Sapiro

why would they do that ?

They have done it for no big reason, like you buy or sell something over ebay and the other party complains to paypal and your account gets perma closed. Really use a real bank, paypal is very shady bussiness.

im still waiting for a confirmation thingy to be able to transfer the funds to my bank account, but its taking forever :S im still searching and thanks for the info guys !

Transfering funds typically takes three days with my bank. I don't know if it differs for you, but just in case you needed some kind of timeline to determine when your money will be available.

You do know that with paypal you can generate a virtual debit card number right?

Joao Sapiro

hm..i didnt know that

I think it's a mastercard, you may want to check that out.

yeah i have one with my paypal account. You just have to do 3 steps. verify your address, your bank account and have another debit or credit card on file with them and they will send you a mastercard credit/debit card that can be used at atms and retail locations.

It's pretty handy at times.
