Title: Help with Massdrop payment!
Post by: Olumin on Wed, 13 January 2016, 14:46:27
I'd like to join my first drop on Massdrop, I just recently registered there.
The problem is I have no idea what payment methods are accepted on massdrop, I do not own a credit card, I do not have enough money on my paypal account, the only way I can pay for items are online transactions from my bank account, is that accepted there? There is no information on the internet regarding that.

Thanks

You can link you bank account to Paypal. That is the method I have used every time I have done a drop.

You should be able to pay with PayPal using your bank account.

Sure, my Paypal account is connected with my bank account, but I would have to transfer money to my paypal account first, that that takes a few days, how much time is there to do the payment on massdrop?

They authorize payment when you sign up for a drop then withdraw when the drop ends.

The problem is the drop ends in about 3 hours, so there is no time to transfer money to my paypal account first.

You shouldn't have to transfer the money to your PayPal account. PayPal works almost like a debit card. It should withdraw the money straight from your bank.
