Charging lithium batteries with anything other than precisely the right charger is a good recipe for a house fire

Don't go straight to the Pentax site but link from the SRS website.

That is the only way that I could find it.

The good news is that the form appears to go back to Pentax Ricoh, rather than to some obscure third party acting incredibly slowly on behalf of Pentax.

Don't forget you can use Paypal to be paid as well as for paying. In which case they need your bank details to credit money to you. Unless you prefer to leave it with Paypal
I appreciate that is part of the PayPal system but all I want it for is the ability to pay for items on websites that I have never previously used, without separately entering my credit card details.

Google Checkout and Amazon Payments are now coming on stream in the UK, so perhaps I shall use those, whilst waiting for my PayPal limit to be reset

PayPal could verify ownership of a credit card, without resorting to insisting on bank details.

They could use the system they refer to on their forum.

I think that they are using EU legislation as an excuse.

Apparently the UK limit is £1900 in any one year.

Once you reach the end of the year, it resets and you get another £1900 limit for the next 12 months.

So if you are using Paypal for small items, you may never hit the limit, but equally you could try and buy something for £1950 as your first transaction and find that PayPal rejects it.

PayPal could verify the credit card by sending a small refund (99p) with a four digit code. Once received on your next credit card statement, you enter the code on the Paypal website and the verification is complete.

However, despite this system of verification appearing as a solution on their website, you can't actually access it and the only option is to add your bank account details.

Not a satisfactory way for a company to behave so I think that I will just have to kick PayPal into touch.

As soon as there are more competitors in the marletplace the better.

Why does PayPal impose very low limits on the total credit card spend in a given period and then say that you can only have the limit removed if you add your bank account details :

It all sounds somewhat dodgy to me
