Default Need a bumper - need to pay w/paypal - see text

Okay..so, I have my PayPal buyer credit and want to get a bumper. The only down side is finding a vendor that takes PayPal.

I have been looking at the Smittybilt SRC front bumper and XRC8 winch.

Found a few places that have them, but they are WAY high compared to the big boys (quadratech / 4wd.com) and the big boys don't take PayPal.

Anyone know where to get this bumper and winch for a good price?

May consider other bumpers...suggestions...yup, open to them.

Thanks in advance!

Get and use a major credit card from a local credit union (not from a bank!). If you can't qualify, you should definitely avoid PayPal. It has limited regulation, and does not do business as a bank or credit union or any other fully regulated financial concern. Horror stories abound--Google it yourself. I recommend avoid it like the plague. Real businesses accept major credit cards.

download the paypal plug in from their website. what it does is generate a one-time secure credit card number for you to use. you can use it anywhere mastercard is accepted, and it draws the money right from your paypal account. that way, you can buy whatever bumper you want, from wherever you want!

i've been using paypal for years and i've never had any problems with them. it's actually safer to use a one time card with a number that will not be active again that it is to continually use the same credit card to buy stuff online. pm me if you have any questions.

I've been using Paypal since 1999 and done LOTS of business using it. Never been bitten once. Not once.

I got a bumper and winch from http://outlawoffroadstore.com/

Sent them an email last night...got a call today, order placed advised it will ship Wed. Great service from them so far!

I have been using paypal since 1999 and actually like using it that is why I wanted to use it. I have credit cards, I have really great credit, just easy to use PayPal and...what the wife doesn't know...hehe.

Thanks everyone for the comments / suggestions.
