    I want to buy a G1... Is there any asus dealer out there that accepts international credit cards?

    I live in the Dominican Republic but i want it shipped to Miami,FL. Had no luck while trying to wire the money so I´m stuck if no one accepts credit card payments.

    Thanks.

    Anyone who would is naive or stupid. I'm sorry, but there is no way to 100% verify payment on an international credit card, so you won't find many, or even any that will take it.

    If you have problems doing a wire, I can't see why that same place would then take an international credit card. A wire should be easy... it's about 5 lines of information you give to your bank and they send your money to the bank of the company you're buying from... We do at least once a day and it's never really an issue.

    well Im no scammer I was just wondering if there was one cuz it'd make my life easier, I just paid $50 for the wire transfer and they say the account im trying to transfer to doesnt exists (wich im sure does!) ive checked and the details are all perfect... now I have to pay $50 more to get that transfer money back. So yeah, I'm just trying to find a solution. They said they would only need either the rtng code or the swift code but not both. Now im making them use the rtng as well!

    That's weird.. a wire should cost $15 from most all banks, no matter the size of the transfer. I'm not saying you're scammer, but given the risks, no one is going to take that chance.... I think you're getting screwed by your bank, which is never good, but it certainly seems like they're taking you for a ride and trying to hit you with all these fees.

    How did i know i would find your post here? Well Jistin is right, There are likely no experience dealers that would accept an international cc. I dont even know how i would do that if i wanted to. Your wire was received xtrife. if you paid 50$ to send it you got ripped. :)
