    I need a new battery for my Vaio FZ series. The exact model is VGP-BPS8. I have been googling and I found a bunch of sites that sell the 10400mAh 12 cell model. But every time I try to add to cart and pay they only offer an option to pay using paypal. I would like to pay with my credit card. Im guessing this is because they are international sites.

    Has anyone ordered from these sites before? Here is one example, SONY VGP-BPS8 battery _ SONY VGP-BPS8 Laptop Battery Pack. If not are there any U.S sites I can order from?

    Thanks guys.

    I bought 3 batteries for a Dell laptop on Ebay.
    If you shop around the chinese knofoff crap a little you can find decent batteries for decent price.

    Doesn't PayPal let you pay with a credit card?

    I also found a bunch on ebay too for a cheaper price. But that still leaves me with the paypal problem. The only ways to add funds to paypal are through bank account transfer, which takes 3 business days. So that wouldnt go through until tuesday. Or I could buy a moneypak which is instant. Problem is I am out of the country right now and cannot buy a moneypak from anywhere.

    anybody have any good sites for this? im thinking the reason i keep getting so many international sites is because im overseas. if someone can do a quick google for me from the states that would be awesome.
