Wherever you are getting it from, make sure you pay extra to either Fed Ex or UPS it to you. Don't use USPS as the same will get stuck with FPO and nowhere on the Condor is it mentioned .177. If it goes for a deal wood test, you can kiss your condor good bye. Also, specifically, tell Fed Ex or UPS not to ship via Singapore. You Condor will get detained there.

Indian credit cards are a problem as they have verification issues. Use either wire transfer or paypal to make payments.

Paypal verification process used to take at least one billing cycle. I had to wait for my Credit Card statement and enter the code I find against the $1.95 debit on the paypal website for my verification process to be complete. Till then you generally have restrictions. Have you completed this whole process - or have you only just applied for verification? (I dont know if this has changed - I opened my acct over two year ago)

Paypal has a very helpful helpline.. Did you try writing to them asking for clarification?

Haven't used PayPal myself, so won't be able to comment. I'm sure fellow members can chip in. The other possibility is wire transfer, that also after you have confirmed that they'll Fed ex or UPS it to your address and that they'll not send via Singapore. Make it clear to them that you'll either need a refund or another condor if the shipment gets stuck in Singapore. Doubt you can get out of the deal wood test, if they ship using USPS and it get's stuck with Indian authorities.

yes kb100

the verification process is complete. i have also retrived the four digit number from my credit card statement and the debitted 1.95 dollars is been automatically creditted to my paypal account. my account status is showing verified but during a send transaction, for any amount above 5 dollars there is a error or incomplete transaction message. any inputs please.

regards

the problems is i am not sure whether, i will be able to make only one 5 dollar transaction or 100 such transaction to make up for the condor.

After you have logged into Paypal.. right under your name you will find a 'VERIFIED' click-able ikon. Click it and it will take you to another page where it confirms your verified status. Below that you will find a line stating "This means that you have linked and confirmed your card and can send an unlimited amount of money with your PayPal account."(... at least mine does!)

If nothing works I guess you will have to write to them - I couldn't find anything on google either.
