wont accept payments from a british debit card in US$... i assume that this is the case for anyone outside the states...
is there any way around this or are international users who only have a debit card doomed to an eternity of not being able to pay for shroomery stuff online?
would there be any way to choose a currency option in the store for example?
i think the same currency conversion barriers are going to present problems with mailing in payments also...
i thought google checkout was going to be an easy solution since paypal dropped shroomery, but seems not...
ps. the automatic click/copy UBBCode thing for images seems not to be working.

You could use a proxy from inside of the states...That way it would show up as being in the US, and then send it wherever. Not sure if that would work or not. They may not let you ship outside of the US if you order from inside of the US.

As far as I can tell, if your debit card doesn't allow currency conversion then unfortunately we can't accept it through Google Checkout. Google only lets us take payments in our local currency, i.e. USD. I think for now the best alternative would be to pay with an international money order, or to use Obopay by clicking the 'Charge to Phone Bill' link at the bottom of the supporter account description. Or try with a different credit or debit card if you have one. I'm sorry for the inconvenience and I'll keep an eye out for a better option.
The click to copy functionality was broken by the new security model in Flash 10 and I haven't found a workaround yet. It doesn't help that I don't know Flash or Actionscript. But that's something else where I'm keeping an eye out for a fix. The only workaround for now is to downgrade to Flash 9 on your system.
Peace,

I don't know if this is possible, but could you sign up for an Amazon credit card or something like that?

Here you can just buy them at the post office or a bank, but I'm not sure how you crazy Brits do it.
But yeah in the store, instead of clicking 'Google Checkout', just click the regular 'Checkout' button and there's an option to pay by money order. It gives you an invoice to print and the address where you mail it.

lol i don't have a clue either, money orders are crazy american currency...
i'd go to my bank but i haven't seen a human being in there for years, just full of damn machines
i guess i'll try and find someone in the states with a paypal and google checkout account to buy the name change and renew my supporter account which expires on the 18th...
i wont lose any days if i renew my supporter account before it expires, right?
i assume that we can buy multiple 1 year supporter accounts since i saw these expiration dates on the supporter list lol >>>

the plot thickens... money orders are only available from banks in the uk since the post office stopped issuing them... and the banks charge around £12 ($20) for the priviledge, so fuck that...
ythan, you really need to come up with a better way for us international users to help out around here
