We also accept payment via PayPal. We recommend trying to purchase using PayPal if you have been unsuccessful using your debit or credit card.

If both debit or credit card and PayPal payments are unsuccessful we are unable to assist further. This is beyond our control and you will need to discuss this with your bank.
