I've been looking for somewhere that I can buy a nice cheap soldering station (I've tried to buy the WLC100 from Markertek and Amazon, and the CSI Station from the CSI site), but nowhere seems to take paypal. I don't even see anywhere that I can get wire, sheathing, and connectors with Paypal. Anyone know of any site that I can use my Paypal balance on?

I've used paypal with parts conneXion.

I don't think they have soldering stations though.

apply for a PayPal debit card, which is linked to your account. Then you can use it anywhere Visa is accepted.

parts conneXion has hakko 936

^That's still a bit spendy for me.

just d/l the paypal plugin and it will make you a debt card no. and you can buy from anywhere no extra fees.

Yeah, just get the PayPal debit card or transfer the funds to your bank account. If you limit yourself to only places that take PayPal you probably won't get what you want, and probably not at a good price.

^That looked amazing but it's not available anymore

I would probably get a hakko 936 clone off of ebay or an iron off of dealextreme.com

dealextreme is very slow though. You'll be waiting at least 3 weeks for your merchandise.

I disagree with those recommending linking a bank account with paypal... paypal is not a trustworthy company =/

as for wire, etc.
daleproaudio takes paypal.

Otherwise, there are plenty of trustworthy places to get wire, etc. on ebay.

I recently bought an Aoyue 937+ (Chinese ripoff of Hakko) from these guys for $49 - Main Section > Stan Rubinstein Assoc., Inc.

I actually bought through their Amazon storefront, but their website says they now accept PayPal. For Amazon purchase, shipping was prompt and packaged well.

Try Action Electronics, they have the WLC100 (great soldering station BTW) and a bunch of other DIY stuff and they accept paypal.

humm that sucks just placed a order with markertek 10 mins ago with the plug in see how long it keeps working for i guess.

 

[LingLing1337]

^I know it probably works, but you just can't get it anywhere anymore

If you still need an iron, I take Paypal.

AND, I have a few different irons to choose from. Some of them are really old and for the absolute beginner, and some of them are nicer such as my Edsyn which is still available.

A lot of eBay sellers accept PayPal.
