T2i batteries without paypal?

[Hawk Teflon]

I can't seem to find any batteries on ebay for the t2i that allow you to buy with paypal. That stinks, as those seem to be the most cost effective as of yet. Paypal and I haven't gotten along since a mishap in 2005, and I don't plan on ever using them. Does everyone here that uses ebay have paypal? Do you know of any sellers that sell 3rd party batteries that accept anything other than paypal?

Those ebay sellers are just reselling you stuff they order from china websites and adding a little extra. Sites like Dealextreme allow you to order items with their logo removed to let you take advantage of people who only know of ebay.
I say google up some china sites that people recommend, (DX doesnt have t2i stuff, yet)
And they might be able to hook you up with out paypal and just a CC or money order.
But seriously, get paypal, you can hook paypal up to your bank now so if a lack of credit card is your problem, you have no problem.

F***ing Ebay, f***ing PayPal! Ebay rules prohibit sellers from mentioning any payment methods other than Paypal, however, sellers are allowed to accept any payment method they wish. They just can't say it! A buyer must ask the seller prior to bidding if they will accept another form of payment. If a buyer says Ebay doesn't allow that, ask them to review the rules again. As long as the buyer initiates the question it's allowed.

Thanks Ebay! Assholes...

Peace,

Make sure you buy real Canon batteries. The cheaper ones are attractively priced, but in my experience, they're much poorer quality and have a very short lifespan.

short lifespan yes... but quality i have been okay with so far in my off brand battery experience. in my 7d the offbrand did not eject and of course if you don't use canon brand you are going to lose your battery life info on the LCD of the camera... so you are in some regards shooting blind as far as time left on the battery
