Title: Paymate
Post by: trout on July 23, 2014, 04:12:24 PM
I used Paymate for the first time yesterday on a coin I bought from Feathers.
Pretty simple to use and it is credit card based but slow as all get up to get the money to the seller.
I paid yesterday afternoon and have only just got confirmation that the funds have been delivered.
I think I prefer paypal or direct deposit to use.

Cryptos are still the best way, bar none. Dogecoin and Bitcoin being best contenders, with Doge being the fastest (instant to 1 min, typically).

Easiest way I've found so far is one of these two, or both:

https://block.io/dashboard/doge (good if you already have a source to fund it from)
https://www.coinspot.com.au/ (Melbourne-based exchange where you can direct-deposit to buy, and I know the guy. Use fulvio55@icloud.com as a referral)

Yeah, yeah, I know we've been through this before. But you lot will end up getting dragged into the 21st century eventually, may as well get used to it. ;)

Paypal is pretty much an instant payment and it is a lot faster to actually get the cash "In Hand" to buy a pie and coke than with bitcoin or dodgicoin :angel:
Bank transfer is about the best/cost effective method , Normally all done and dusted within 24hrs :good:

Feathers is off on sabbatical so I don't think he'll comment. I've not used Paymate. I once used something called "moneybookers" because I really really really wanted something (for Markn's brirthday I believe). They wanted you to put money in the account then use it so there's some minimal credit out there in fairyland of mine that I'll never use.

The only reason I used paymate is because I was dealing with somebody I trust.
It isn't my first choice as far as a money transfer goes :ok:

"Moneybookers" is now called "Skrill" Shop and pay safely with Skrill. (https://www.skrill.com/en/)

Paypal is reversible, as lots of people here know.

And last time I needed it, it took 4 days to get money into it, and fees at the other end. I can pay anyone in the world instantly with Doge, for free. :P
