I had a lot of issues as well.
2 things were big factor:
The time at which I made the transaction (late at night they all fail)
Calling my bank to see if they were denying my charges (out of 4 cards attemped. I called 2. Discover said they didn't see anything. Visa (/my bank) saw the charges. I had to talk to fraud to get them to allow the charge
The Problem is that the Option to pay via Pay Pal has been removed
no. the problem is you can't be bothered to use an alternate method of payment. paypal is only one of many pay methods. losing paypal actually did you a favor. HB doesn't have to provide a paypal portal for their customers.
Use a pre-paid credit card, and top it up from PayPal, then use that pre-paid card on the store website.
I believe entropay.com works for this.
you can go down to your local wal-mart, walgreens, dollar store and purchase a prepaid card, they will add cash to it at the register and boom you have a disposable credit card to pay right through the 'credit card/debit card' interface.
no one can hack your prepaid card and it wouldnt matter if they did because only a nutcase would put more money on one that they were going to spend that day.
not like shitty paypal where they will let just anyone in to spend your money.
Bossland is scared of mass paypal chargebacks after negative court decision. Thats why theres no paypal.
Please don't speculate.
We do not offer PayPal payment atm. and it is not clear if or when we will in future.
That is not so simple to deal it, like it looks like.In other words you don't know why you don't accept PayPal?
