Alan,
I’d love to use PayPAl. I just got back from the MaxMen when I had to waste everyone’s time by re-applying for AMA membership again. I got a reminder from the AMA after I joined last year but couldn’t pay on-line without a US credit card – a slight problem for a European. The only alternative was to send credit card details by fax or e-mail; hardly a secure method, so I declined.
The AMA have been told about this problem for years so hopefully it will be sorted as I have no problem using either PayPal or a UK credit card to buy stuff from the States.
