    I was wondering if dell accepts Wire transfers (bank to bank) for US orders? O maybe paypal payment? Hmm What about International credit CARDS to make use of the Epp Account?

    what are your expiriences paying to dell with diferent methods?....
    I am looking for a secure way of paying. :confused:

    I used a credit card and debit card (only $1000 limit on my credit card). Be careful with debit cards as some have a daily limit of a few hundred dollars. Check with your bank to make sure it will go through. Credit cards are by far the best for any big dollar purchases.

    I used my debit card with no problems at all. I know they just started taking paypal for USA home and small business, but not sure about any other sections. You can't use an international credit card (AFAIK). For a list of payment types:

    Personally, i would go with a credit card or debit card. Their website is secure, so you don't have to worry about identify theft or anything like that. Also, this is probably the quickest way.

    I highly recommend paying with a GOOD credit card. A good credit card provides you with several benefits that a DPA, debit card, Paypal, Wire Transfer do not. While several different card issuers have different benefits, I'll just list the ones available w/ my MasterCard to give you an idea of what's available:

    Purchase Assurance Coverage - Coverage if something you bought with your MasterCard card is damaged or stolen within 90 days of purchase.

    Extended Warranty Coverage - Doubles the original warranty time period and duplicates the coverage of the original manufacturer's warranty up to a maximum of 12 months.

    Also, should something go wrong with your oder... it's probably easiest to get your money back if you paid with a creditcard. Most credit cards also give you some % back on your purchases.

    My VISA card offers extended warranty benefits, but unfortunately not on PCs/notebooks/laptops or gaming consoles and portables, among other things, so I used my Amex as it's affiliated with a points reward scheme and points make prizes! :)
