Why no credit cards?

[DNM1]

The tax on goods you order from the US does not go to americans, It goes to Europeans and is a form of protectionism. Ask your leaders why they tax it and where that money goes.

Back to you when our leaders buy military equipment from you,under the "NATO" "umbrella for example
Nice monopoly NATO?

this is really funny...I went to order some samsung led strips from digikey the other day (they take credit cards, btw), and they added on a tariff charge, so I cancelled the order. Who should I be asking in Murica why they taxed the leds I wanted, and what they do with the money? Also, looks like protectionism has reached our shores.

I dont care if Ace doesn't take intl credit cards, but it sure would be nice if they took cryptos...maybe they should take a page out of seedsman's book

Don't get me wrong guys.Just happened to pick an American complaining about card payments/"I do not want to show my self at the bank".Could have been a European and I can understand it
When there is a need, means are found, just getting too "old" hearing of "complaints" maybe

you do realize you are complaining about people complaining? maybe avoid this thread since it is getting "old" to you. and for the reason that it doesn't pertain to you not being from America and all.

we understand there are other methods of payment but sending cash in the mail can be pricey and is not the easiest method. if credit card payment is once again a viable option for people not from the EU in the near future, why not wait?

and honestly I don't see anyone complaining, just sharing info (the purpose of a forum) and figuring out other payment options if possible. I appreciate the update from baconman about the response he received from Ace about them not knowing when CC option will be available for us again. Saves me from sending them an email about it and them having to respond to the same question over and over.

Have no problem avoiding this thread,if you read carefully,I first came in with a helping suggestion

dnm, no need to leave, as no discussion herein will change whether ace will take cards...fact is, ace will take cards when ace takes cards.

So that pretty much means we can talk about anything that might be related. So here goes...the european banking system is basically a vassal system that has to do whatever Murica tells them to do, or they'll get cut off or sanctioned. This is similar to the nato alliance mentioned above that they are captured by...do what we say, buy only our hardware, spend 2% of your gdp...yada yada yada...

Swinging this framework back to the Ace-credit card issue, if Ace doesn't take credit cards, it might have to do with their european banks not wanting to deal with financial red tape that has been applied to their banking system by external forces. Or maybe its as simple as not wanting to deal with chargebacks.

Whatever the case it is, it really doesn't make one bit of difference to me, because until they finally do take cards, they wont get a direct sale from me, although they will get indirect sales from an ace distributor that accepts cards.

I have a feeling my friend that credit card transactions nowadays ,are getting simultaneously checked by the respective country's 'Taxman" somehow? That's the "delay" with how things work
My country's seedbank caught up with the demand for Aces,so no problem here

 

[TychoMonolyth]

Yeah but ya need ID now.

Accepting credit transactions is a huge risk for a vendor. Customers are the least trustworthy part of the equation and will accept an order and chargeback at the drop of a hat.

I stand corrected.
They do indeed have my info. I just don't remember giving it to them.

The only reason I have it is for Amazon, eBay and a few services like cell and internet. If the card ever gets compromised, no harm done.

I believe Ace is doing their best to get cc acceptance for non EU customers. If you have patience, then that would be the route once completed. If you’re in a hurry, then I’m hopeful there’s a work around.

Hi,

The card payment on our website is currently only available for customers in European Union. We will inform you through our newsletter and here on the forums in case the situation changes.

If you have any specific doubt about shipping to your location or about payment modes available please contact us directly through email.
