Spore Payments
    #7773150 - 12/18/07 09:28 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Hello fellow shroomers,

I've been reading this security forum for a couple of days now, and what has sprung out at me is the blunt message that no one should use a credit card when purchasing spores.

I had a question. I live in Australia. It is very, very difficult to pay for spores other than using my credit card. If this is just a record keeping issue, can't I just buy from a trusted retailer and destroy the records afterwoods? I will not be growing in the house I get the spores shipped to, or the house the card is attached to, so is this really that big of an issue then?

I'm sure people have ordered spore prints to Australia before, as I have actually heard from some of the vendors, so I take it that there is a safe way of ordering internationally. Any tips for shipping spores internationally in a completely safe manner?

Thanks!

when you pay via credit card, your bank, the credit processor, the mercahnt's bank, and the merchant and you all have the ability to retain records, so its not just an issue of you and your vendor.

Why not just send cash, or an international money order? Find a vendor that takes cash or an international money order, and pay that way. I'm in the US, but even banks here will "order" you currency of another country, so perhpaps you can try that if you like.

Thanks for the advice :smile: I'll look into the international money order. Thanks!

Another thing... All you need to do is find a bank that has a affiliated bank in the country your vendor is in, for their money order to work. Check the actual money order blank for this information, or get the counter monkey to do it. Many will have a main bank, w/ another in smaller print on the top or far left/right margin. If that address mentions the target country you should be cool


Also, the post office usually has international money orders in most countries. I'd assume Aus is no different. Try and get the currency in the vendor's currency though, this is helpful sometimes
