    I asked a seller the following because on many occassions I have asked a seller if they have paypal even though they don't display the paypal icon, and it often turns out that they do. Even a simple "no" would have been more courtious! I have removed the sellers name.
    However this was the reply I received to my question......
    Here is your question:
    "Accepte vous Paypal?
    Merci"

    Here is the answer given
    Does " " that mean anything?:dunno:
    Thanks

    That looks more like someone accidentally hitting the reply button before filling in the response. Is it possible to reply more than once?

    I am loathe to ask again in case the seller is annoyed with me for asking in the first place! In fact I have just bought a card this evening from a seller who does not have any indication on the sale page that they accept paypal. I asked just in the hope that they might ,and they did! So I now have the card!

    Ask again. The worst that can happen is an unlogical/annoyed response. My experience is that there are many "continental Europe" sellers who will accept PP, albeit with "buyer pays for the fees".

    It's up to you if you want to pay those fees.

    I already posted about the paypal fees months ago. I do pay it even though It goes against my better judgement!
    I have had this " " left for feedback too. I appreciate to a busy seller that leaving feedback can be a chore, but to leave that instead of even a "Thanks", or in reply to a question -yes or no, seems rude to me.
