I prefer to use a website that you do not have use paypal. Here that's the only option.

His site is pretty new, but many of us have ordered from Han on this forum before he created his own business.
I'm not 100% sure if you can use CC instead of PP at checkout.

That's not true at all. I have had plenty of people on here accept cash, checks, money orders, etc. I have even had people send the plants at the same time I've sent money in the mail. There are people on here who do not use Paypal at all either.
Many online sites use Paypal as the primary means of payment because it is the most trusted payment option available. Far more secure than typing in your credit card information online. I don't know of any online sites that allow you to pay with a money order or check.
The sites mentioned before all seem alright, but the shipping kills it for me. I bought enough plants to plant my 75g on here and the shipping was $14. Ordering them from most sites would be $40+ for overnight shipping which most sites make you use.

There's a website called JacobsAquarium.com that seems to be pretty cheap on shipping. Shipping to my zip code is only 7 dollars.
+1 - I'll refrain from adding any particular comments due to the rule against vendor reviews.

Not the case.
Quite a few sellers over the years have accepted other methods of payment. From PayPal to Google Wallet to Square Up to standard credit card processing. A couple sellers even use Amazon's payment platform.
Payment methods are up to individual sellers. And even though they may list PayPal as the method of payment? They may be open to other options if you send them a message. In my opinion and experience, it's worth it to consider buying from other hobbyists before hitting up a retail establishment.

That def isn't the only option for a lot of people here. I know I've had people ask to send checks, money orders, etc... and there's never been a problem with that. I just tell people that they have to wait until it clears into my account before I ship it and have never had a problem.
Bump:
This right here! I try to buy whatever I can from members here because not only am I supporting fellow hobbyists, typically the stuff you get here is 100x better than you'll get in stores. Not to mention usually people who sell stuff on here have some knowledge of the items that they are selling and are usually willing to answer questions.
