China suppliers and PayPal

Hi all,

I've seen quite a lot of Chinese suppliers online, and most of them says on their website that they accept only Telegraphic transfer, Western Union and Letter of Credit, Bank Transfer etc.

What I don't understand is why they don't accept PayPal? It's easier for everyone, right? And it's safe too.

I wonder if I could ask them to register a PayPal so that I can pay them.
Beats better than not trying at all. ;)

Apparently it's not an easy process in China to register a Paypal account.
That's what I've been told by a few companies, whether or not that's true, I'll never probably know until I actually get to go there...

There are some companies in China that offer Paypal, alot in Shenzhen and Hong Kong...

Chinavasion accepts PayPal. I don't know how others have faired but I have ordered from them and product came fast.
