I would have bought this lesson except the only payment method was PayPal and I wanted to use a credit card. The icon on the sight shows Visa, etc, but the checkout process only offered PayPal.

Hi Gary
Paypal offers the option to select ‘Pay By Debit or Credit Card after you checkout from JGB. ‘. Click that and when you get to the next page change your country (if necessary) from the US. Then select your credit/debit card issuer from the drop down list and the next thing you see should be the boxes to type in your card number and expiry date.
This all happens within Paypal, not JGB, so if you’re not seeing this I’m afraid you’ll need to take it up with them but as far as JGB is concerned you should be able to pay with a Paypal account OR a credit/debit card.
