| maniac481 Member Germany 62 Posts 8/03 |  Posted - Aug 18 2003 : 7:58AMHey everyone! This forum has helped me a lot already by providing URL's of online shops I didn't know so far! But the big problem I have is, that I - like most people in Germany - have no credit card! So, if you know any shops that accept paypal and you had perhaps good experiences with them before, it would be cool if you could post the URL's! The other problem is, that I live in Germany (there's already another thread about the problem with German custums). So, if you know a US Shop, which accepts paypal and where you already ordered safely before to Germany - that would be the cream of the crop of course ;-) Shops in Europe are also ok, of course (because most of them have the option of direct debit or even accept direct debit cards like Maestro) - but let's face it, the range of US DVD's they offer is always crap! xodvds is pretty nice though, but they also don't have the newest releases I want! OK, I hope anyone can help me! Greetz maniac481 [Link] |

| maniac481 Member Germany 62 Posts 8/03 | Posted - Aug 18 2003 : 3:35PM And well, why don't I have a CC? At first CC's are not common in Germany! If you're from the US or from the UK and come to Germany, expecting that you can pay with your CC everywhere, like you're used to at home - you have a problem! 95% of the shops in Germany don't accept credit cards, so there is no reason for me to get one - I wouldn't get a CC just to order porn online ;-) The other reason why I don't have one is, that I don't have the money! I'm only a university student - I can't afford it, and I don't have a real monthly income that a CC company would accept anywayz. So, you see my dilemma? ;-) Oh and btw, thanks for the hint with erodvd.nl - but I don't think they're really good! At least not for US DVD's. Very few US Studios, and e.g. only some original Evil Empire DVD's - the rest is that Shiva crap without extras! PS: Oh - how I got a paypal account without a CC... Well you can also upload money from your bank account to paypal (they have an account in Germany where you can transfer your money to). The only thing is that you have an "unverified account" then - you need a CC if you want a verified one! Well, but I never had problems to pay with my unverfified account so far! [Link] |

| brasilfan Member 130 Posts 2/03 | Posted - Aug 18 2003 : 11:54PM I am from Germany as well and to say that 95% of shops in Germany do not accept credit cards is absolutely not correct. I don ot know where exactly you live and what type of shop you usually go to but I would say that at least 70% of shops accept at least one credit card. You should also mention that we have debit cards (Maestro) which is very widely accepted for cashless payments. Now, as far as PayPal is concerned it will be more difficult each day to find a shop selling porn online which accept PayPal as PayPal belongs to Ebay and is actively cancelling contracts with shops selling porn. They do not want to beassociated with porn anymore. Therefore my favourite shop. dvddiscount.tv has recently had to stop accepting PayPal. Nevertheless I would recommend them as one of the best shops for people like us as they are in the Netherlands and you will have no problem with customs therefore. Please also try AdultDVDToday.com if you should get yourself a credit card. They are cheap, quick and use a shipping method which will most likely not be intercepted by customs. [Link] |
| maniac481 Member Germany 62 Posts 8/03 | Posted - Aug 20 2003 : 5:31AM @Gabriel Nine: Well, I visited the Orgazmik Homepage again and I was surprised! They massively increased their stock again, during the last few months it was not that big! And their prices... well, for European shops they're not that expensive ;-) They still don't have the particular DVD I'm looking for - they are not the fastest when it comes to new titles! But I already mailed with them a month ago or so, they are pretty cool and they do accept paypal, yes! Maybe I'll try them out! @brasilfan: Well, what I wanted to say is, that you can't go everywhere and pay with your CC. I mean, e.g. no supermarket in my region accepts CC's afaik - only EC-Card! And well - of course almost every shop (except Aldi & - most important - McDonald's *geez*) accepts debit cards... But why doesn't anyone in the internet (except xodvds.com)? I hope more European shops will in the future. The two shops you mentioned won't help me much though - cause like I said, I don't have a CC and also can't afford one. But thanxx anywayz!

| maniac481 Member Germany 62 Posts 8/03 | Posted - Aug 21 2003 : 12:22PM And, as I said before - I would never get a CC only to buy porn at the internet ;-) [Link] |
| timotei Member UK 271 Posts 4/02 | Posted - Aug 21 2003 : 5:54PM I can see why you're looking for alternatives in your situation - good luck finding sites that take PayPal etc! [Link] |
