    Does anyone know of any websites where I could purchase computer components via postal order? I'm already familiar with Galaxy Computers, and well, the prices suck.

    Goto http://www.3v.ie and get a pre-paid credit card. Then go and buy from komplett.ie tbh.

    Indeed, 3v is good. Do you not have a laser card even? I find Galaxy Computers horribly expensive. Marx Computers orders can be paid via postal order.

    Ya, 3V is the way to go. Max is E350 on each card. They charge E2.50 to recover the balance left over on a card, so just get as much as you need for the transaction. Don't work on paypal for me any more tho. Paypal cant verify the card.

    It says you have to be 16. Do you actually have to be 16 or do you just "have" to be 16? Will it make a difference?

    I think you "have" to be over 16, as under 16's aren't "legally" allowed to have a credit card without their parents premission, or something.

    This happened to me, u need to close ur account n set it up again n they'll work.. I rang em about it n they'd no idea what a 3v card is.. Its to do with the fact that they're a visa, its something Visa do that stops them working.. Best thing to do is setup a 2nd paypal acc n be prepared to close it ever few months..
