Roger,  

        Thanks for the info – your contribution to this net is always greatly appreciated.  

Unfortunately, the selection of ‘PayPal’ for payment agent is a mistake. I have had nothing but trouble from this outfit. One minute, they are happy to have the business and transfer the funds without let, and the next they suddenly refuse to accept the same credit card information arbitrarily. Attempting to contact them for clarification is useless.  

        This may be in line with their unique and thinly-disguised “nationalism” as they have decided I can’t buy the most innocuous item from US distributors. I expect the company has embargoed  my card for all transactions (naturally without cause). It’s not the tenor of a supposed ally. That is not the attitude for an alien firm to treat Canadians. I am surprised Rotax has taken the easy route to fund transfer. It also means I am prevented from taking advantage of information which educates and prevents threatening errors in engine maintenance. I intend to keep a sharp watch on what is denied me as an owner.  

        I still send personal best wishes...........!

Fergus, I'm not connected with Paypal, own no stock in the company or anything else, for that matter, and I'm not an international finance expert nor do I play one on TV, but, I've been using Paypal for almost ten years for sales and purchases on eBay and elsewhere. I've received money from buyers in Canada, Europe, Asia and Australia with nary a hitch. Likewise I've bought from all over the world with equally good results. Sorry I can't help you in the spirit of Norte Americano camaraderie, but you might try going completely through your profile to make sure the right credit card is being accessed and your bank info is correct.

 



Yours in friendship and cheese,

Rick Girard
