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

[OldMarty]

Regarding fake PICs from chinese ebay sellers (amongst all the other IC's and transistors they mass produce without dies inside)

It's not such a big deal to lose the money as long as they're small purchases, i'm only intending to buy $20-$30 worth of chips, which can be 10-20 chips as opposed to some ebay resellers that demand $15-$30 per chip.
While i may lose some $$ receiving fake chips, other than the disapointment of losing a few $$$, it's the simple fact that i still have no chips to play with., so i achieved nothing.

Jaycar don't sell modern pics, they're still selling 16F84's from 20 years ago lol

Anyhoo, onwards & upwards.

I realy wouldn't get hung up, just keep each purchase small. Try tayda2009 they don't carry a large range of PISs but they are quick and cheap.

I was under the impression that you had to "connect" a some sort of credit/debet card to your Paypal account but that's apparently wrong. Anyway, have you checked if Mouser and/or Digikey offers a Paypal option?

Yes, my paypal is linked to my bank account, i have no cards.

I tried mouser, i tried buying 10 chips, approx $40 total (for 2 types), then they wanted $70 postage/handling....i shut that site quickly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PIC18F25k22 (28pin DIP)

PIC18F45k22 (40pin DIP)

Both Digikey and Mouser offers free shipping when you buy for more than a certain ammount, on Digikey it's $100, I don't remember what it is on Mouser but probably around the same. I tend to keep a list of stuff I "need" and when it's time to order I'm "always" above that free shipping limit. And if I don't have enough stuff my list already I can always find some...

I checked both Digikey and Mouser they charge the equivalent of $20 and $22 respectively - when you don't qualify for free shipping.
$70 sounds WAY off. I can't believe it would differ that much depending on location. (I'm in Sweden so it's still quite a bit away from Digikey (and I donät know from where Mouser actually ships)).
