I've wanted to ignore this thread but just can't resist wading in regardless. This is a general comment and is not directed at anybody in particular - it is not FAS's concern or responsibility to provide easy payment methods for potential purchasers, they are a business, not a charity. If someone cannot afford the thing in the first place, maybe they shouldn't contemplate buying it, and that goes for anything! Credit cards enable long-term payment if necessary, I dont understand the PayPal debate. FAS are a manufacturer, not a credit facility/bank!
