So, I'm trying to purchase some more film and some Rodinol from FreeStyle because they are the only ones I can find that will ship Rodinol----went to check out and did not find a PayPal option.

Other places either don't have it (Calumet) or, like B&H and Adorama, do not ship it and require that you purchase it in the store. Where can I get Rodinol and also use PayPal.

Thanks.
Chuck

Give them a call on the phone and ask if they can accept PayPal. You are right, it isn't listed on the site but they may still accept it.

Some other solutions leap to mind:
1) make it - paRodinal is the easiest formula.
2) get one of the Visa Giftcards and use that. Some fees associated with those so you will "loose" a little money on the deal
3) get a "real" Visa, Discover or MasterCard. You may have your reasons for not using them so this might not be a viable alternative.
4) I believe Freestyle offers pay by paper check/Money Order but of course this takes longer.

It just occured to me that you should check with www.digitaltruth.com They do sell Rodinal.

I believe they will accept PayPal but it may not be an option listed on the on-line checkout, I think you have to call them on the phone and set it up.

why not get a Paypal Mastercard? I pay for all my photo supplies with it. It works just like a credit card/debit card but comes right out of your paypal balance and doesn't cost you anything.

I too buy my Rodinal from Freestyle because they ship it quick and without any hassle.

I had always ignored that because I thought it was like asking for a line of credit with paypal, which I stay away from if at all possible. I did not know that it could be used like a debit card straight from your paypal balance---guess I did not look at it closely enough. I'll definitely rethink that, thanks.

And thanks to everyone else as well.

I feel exactly how you do and avoid using lines of credit whenever possible, which is why I love my Paypal card :smile:

If you go to the PayPal Plugin option in your PayPal screen, you have the option to generate a credit card number that uses your paypal balance. It works exactly the same as any other credit card. You can even set it up to be good for one transaction only, etc.

If you are on a PC, you can even install a toolbar on your browser that automates this process.

This is the easiest way I know of how to use PayPal to pay for things on sites that don't accept it. I use my PayPal debit card to pay for shipping supplies, etc and the one-time-use cards to blow the money as soon as it comes in :smile:

Good luck!
