We cannot accept cash payments, commercial credit cards, or business credit cards.
Debit card, credit card and PayPal payments can only be used for personal accounts.
All payments are subject to security checks and we may request more information from you before returning your funds, such as a screenshot of your bank statement or proof of identity.
