A while ago they had a sale where if you used Paypal to pay, you got a discount.  Not sure if they are still doing that, but thought I'd pass along the heads up.

yeah that is a really great thing for us, except there is a catch - it only works for those in the US and Canada .... ie not me.

Awwww.. No fair.  ;

Hmm, I must check that.  We have a special page for Brazil there (can you believe that?), so I wonder if we're not included.

A side-note: the oldest synagogue in the Americas, from the 16th century, is in Brazil (it's a museum now).  The Jewish immigrants that built it, originally from Netherlands, eventually moved to Nieuwe Amsterdam, today New York.  So, had they stayed here, we would have all those fascinating photo stores they have in NYC. 

I believe B & H and Adorama both are owned by Jewish families.  They don't accept orders from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday (I'm not Jewish but I believe that's during the Sabbath) and both stores were shut down during Passover.

Last year I used Paypal with B&H to order a camera and a lens and the amount went over $1600.  A few moments later,  I got a call from a Paypal rep asking about the transaction.  Apparently, they were watching and have that amount flagged (over 1k?) to I assume, help prevent fraud.  This hasn't happened on any of my other orders using Paypal, all of them being under 1k.   At the time, I wondered if I would be charged some kind of fee for this type of service, but was not.
