    Places that sell flexwatt heat tape without using paypal as a payment method?
    reptilebasics requires paypal (it says credit card but it uses paypal guest checkout)
    proexotics requires paypal
    boamaster requires paypal

    big apple charges $50 shipping, which I will not pay.

    any suggestions?
    the reason I can't use paypal is because I cannot access my account anymore, I forgot the info and email address.
    When I try to use guest checkout it says there's an account attached to the card and it wants me to log in.

    I'm sure you could call PayPal and/or your credit card company and get that sorted out.

    I'm also fairly certain places like Home Depot or Lowe's sell flexwatt. Someone more experienced can tell me I'm a putz if I'm wrong.

    x2 call paypal and figure out what your password and stuff was.

    Ive never seen flexwatt at lowes or home depot, but ive never looked for it. Im pretty sure its a herp specific product. :gj:

    Pretty sure you won't find flexwatt locally anywhere. I have ordered from reptile basics, and never had a problem, and never have had a paypal account until about a week ago. But if you previously had a card linked to it, I guess you would have to call. Unless you have another card or bank account you can use. I don't care for their customer service and I wouldn't buy anything from them, but The Bean Farm carries it too I think. Have you tried calling Rich, maybe he can do the transaction over the phone?

    I'm new to it all, so I'll be the noob that goes ahead and asks...

    What exactly is the difference between flexwatt and say the average electronic heat-tape?

    The online check out for Reptile Basics says Paypal, but I'm sure if you called in, Rich will happily take your credit card directly.
    They have great customer service.

    You should be able to check out at Pro Exotics using a regular credit card. You can also call in an order. Thanks!

    Usually you can use PayPal as a guest regardless of if you have an account linked to it. I'm pretty sure I have done this. I think there is an option saying to use as a guest

    Flexwatt isn't herp specific product. It is used in industrial processes and in some cases used to heat hard floors.

    They are one and the same. Heat tape and flexwatt are terms that we use interchangeably. I say that my cages are heated with flexwatt but in reality none of my cages actually have flexwatt branded heat tape.

    You do not need a PP account to check out on my site. There is a Paypal express checkout button but you don't have to use it. I take dozens of credit cards every day.

    I just ordered a bunch of stuff from reptile basics and didn't have to do anything with my paypal account. In checkout it had it as an option but I didn't use it. It let me just use my normal debit card

    If you call Rich directly at Reptile Basics he will take your credit card info. He has great customer service and lightning fast shipping. I buy nearly all of my supplies from him.

    There is a "proceed to checkout" button to the right next to "checkout with paypal" on reptilebasics site. No need to call, I have ordered several times online with my credit card.
