Paypal and WGC
 

Well I tried emailing them, but I have yet to receive a response. Does anyone know if WGC takes paypal and if so, what is their paypal info. I have received their bank info for EMT, but i dont have that set up, and i would rather pay with paypal. If anyone knows what to put in for the paypal info please let me know.

Thanks,

Donster 125

they do

thanks, but what do i put in for paypal and sending them money? do i put in the account number? i thought it was an email that i input for paypal. that is why i am confused. here is a link from the email:

if anyone sees the paypal info in that, please let me know:)

I was trying to order last night as well but If you read the facts it says they onyl accept Money wire for customers ordering from Canada. If that is the case, that sucks!

shop@wgcshop.com is the info, hope that helps

cheers

Go to www.wgcshop.com

On the left, click "Inquiry & FAQ"

Click "Payment"

All the details are there, as well as the PayPal address.


btw, if you select "PayPal" as your payment method when you check out, they would give you that information. It looks like you selected "Money Wire" as your payment method, which is why they gave you that banking information.
That banking information is also not for an EMT. EMT's can only be sent and accepted within Canada to the big five banks of Canada (TD, CIBC, Royal Bank, Scotiabank & BMO). Money Wires cost at least $30 and upwards of $50 or more on top of the amount you're sending.

can i still pay them via paypal? and it says that i have to mail them once i deposited the money. do i use the address that they sent me?

I hope so, I'll try again to order tonight. But if guys look at their faq section. It does say there they only accept wire transfer. But if people are ordering via paypal then I guess its only a front?

since we're on the topic.... how would you "wire" money? Same process as DD?

ok, i sent the money via paypal and mailed them saying so. i also included my order number with the paypal payment, so when they receive the money, they will see what order it is for. thanks for all your help guys :)!

If I were you, I would reply directly to the email they sent you asking if you can switch payment method to PayPal and see what they say. Use the e-mail address that they sent to you with.

It's applicable to some buyers. I don't know how they determine it, but I've seen them deny some people. So it's best to ask if you can pay by Paypal first. The ban is put in place thanks to a Canadian airsofter who tried scamming them through Paypal. He was also a member of ASC years ago.

It's only same process as DD if you feel like hopping on to a plane and flying over to Hong Kong so that you can walk in to their bank branch to deposit money.

Actually, now that I think about it... they use HSBC. I should ask my buddy at HSBC if you actually can do a DD to an account in Hong Kong that way, but I have a feeling the complications involved with give me "no" as an answer.

Money Wires are done by calling up your home bank and telling them you'd like to do a money wire to a bank in Hong Kong in US funds. They'll proceed to ask you for information such as the account number, account holder's name, address of the account holder, receiving bank's name, swift code, receiving bank branch's address, etc etc. They then proceed to take a minimum of $30 from your account, plus another final receiving amount which can not be disclosed by your home bank (because they simply don't know the cost - it is charged by the receiving bank and they deduct it from the amount received.)

They may refuse your payment and send you a new (higher) total. Like I said, you should have asked if you can send by PayPal first. The new invoice total may be 5% higher due to a 5% discount you may have received for choosing money wire as your payment method.

Directly from their "Methods of Payment" area of the order checkout:



For countries where airsoft is illegal, such as Austrailia, Canada, Philippines, Thailand etc., We only accept money wire as a form of payment. Further, we will not provide any warranty guarantee or money back guarantee for customs confiscation.

well i sent them the money. worst comes to worst, thy refund it to me, or they just ask me to send them more to make up for the difference.

I actually tried going to HSBC and doing a DD that way but with no luck. Actually the man behind the counter seemed kind of mystified as to why I would want to do such a thing but, as he put it, the accounts in Hong Kong were unavailable for him to access. There may have been more, but bank stuff taxes my brain and it all becomes a mumbled drone...
