Hello to the forum, I am fan of the forum since a lot time ago even if I don't have posts here.
I am not sure if I am in the proper section of forum, even if I should ask this question here!

I am interested on a specialized sworks sl5 frameset and this shop in uk http://www.bikescene.co.uk/Specialized- ... -92-0.html offers it in a very attractive price.

My question is that I am from Greece and after contacting the shop they only accept bank transfer. I found they way to do it but I hesitate on the fact of security. Am I sure he will ship the frame?

Does any other if you bought from this shop via Internet?

Thanks in advance
Panos

I haven't been there for a few years but it's a good shop. Been there for a long time so I wouldn't worry.

Thanks for your answer, I am just an international buyer who usually pays with PayPal and some how it's safer than just sending money by bank but as I see form some reviews in Facebook seems ok.

There website clearly states they also take credit cards, any reason they told you they only take bank transfer?

Because i am an international buyer and not UK citizen. But same if i pay with card it's like bank, i was hoping that PayPal is the only way.

The price is really attractive thought.
