Strange. If there are sufficient funds in your PayPal account, I don't see why you couldn't pay using your balance. If not, you use either your bank account or a CC registered in PayPal and the vendor has nothing to do with it.
By the way, the Co is safe. I bought from them (I'm not the only one) and had no problem.

These screw on valve extenders can't compare to real valves. Each time you screw them on or off, you lose air. That's what I use now but I'm not completely happy, that's why I took the plunge and bought the real stuff.

No problem here... ordered a set on last Saturday, and had 'em in my hands by noon on Monday. Now that's fast! They look very solid. They won't be installed for a few more thousand miles (I've got 9K miles now, but before mid summer, I'll get new tires and slap these badboys on the ride,

I ordered a set but haven't put them on yet. They look like they will work as advertised.
