Where can i buy PICs using Paypal?????

[OldMarty]

Hi All,

I'm in Australia and I don't have a credit card.... i live debt/credit free (lucky me).
The downside is i can't buy things online unless it's via Paypal.

Can anyone point me to a PIC reseller that accepts Paypal?

I tried microchip direct to no avail.
I even tried those temporary "top up" Visa cards, but apparently not ALL vendors accept them.

Ebay.................

Microchip direct doesn't let you use paypal?

It does for me, but I'm in the US if that makes a difference.

that's a pretty broad statement . i'm sure Australian suppliers on ebay like

modtronix (bestbay_au) and core_electronics would be hurt to hear that

Jaycar Electronics also sell a small selection of 8-bit pic's that you can buy over the counter for cash

Nope, Paypal isn't even an option amongst the visacard options etc...must be a local thing as u said..

just got a tube of 18f26k22p from RS $4.75 au ea free delivery [took 3 or 4 days].
makes you wonder if the reluctance to own a credit card is a high horse worth riding

I think ebay and brunningsoftware are allow to buy PIC via PayPal.
