There's something 'wrong' in Poland as far as using credit cards online. When people in Poland buy online, do most of them still send the money FIRST (by bank transfer or cash) and only after the merchant gets the money they send the product?
It is strange, I have a person from Poland who is supposed to pay me some money, but he won't use a credit card or Paypal to do it, he prefers bank transfer (or Western Union). Why is that? Do people in Poland trust merchants so much? (they should be aware that if they send the money, it could be lost without any protection if the merchant decides not to send the product). Or it's so difficult or costly to have a credit card in Poland? I read that also on ebay or allegro Poles prefer bank transfer (and there there are many scammers).
