How have you guys been able to pay for membership. My bank doesnt allow transactions outside the united states happen and parentally seeking arrangements works out of paris and hong kong, or at least thats where the money goes. Has anyone run into this dilemma?

I didn't have any issues. I'm in the U.S.

I too had trouble setting up with seekingarrangement. I set up a paypal account and had no further troubles. Great site, has been a gold mine to me in the past.
