Pixmania & Paypal

    Hi there, just looking at the Pixmania site & it states on the bottom of the page that Paypal is accepted & repeats that claim in the FAQs. However, when I tried to purchase an item I went through to the final payment stage i.e. where you have to enter a cc number to proceed & there was no option to pay by Paypal anywhere. I've looked online for why that might be & came across this French forum post (obviously relating to the French site) from a few years ago which claims that Paypal can only be used on orders over €100. However there's no mention whatsoever of that in their terms & conditions.
    I know I can pay by directly entering in my cc details but I prefer to pay via Paypal & the fact that they appear to be providing contradictory & inaccurate information about such an important part of their site makes me quite wary.

    Has anyone had experience of using Pixmania in the past while? Were you able to use Paypal? Did the transaction work out ok overall? Thanks in advance for any input!

    Ok, by playing around with things I discovered what the issue was with Pixmania. It seems that you can only pay by Paypal if you're using one of the express delivery options as opposed to standard post. This isn't mentioned anywhere on the site prior to you reaching the final payment stage, which is a bit annoying. Might still go with them as they're quite competitive for the item I'm buying, even with the higher delivery charge but really wish they'd be more upfront about their terms & conditions.
