Why does the MacApp store only accept credit cards? A lot of people (myself included) don't have credit cards... Apple should at least accept PayPal - Its a pretty standard internet payment method.
Got a tip for us?

Yep, debit cards and iTunes vouchers are fine.
Check the small print, you can also use Magic Beans.

Probably because credit cards are the most commonly accepted form of eCurrency.
I imagine there's branding issues sticking a huge, ugly "PAYPAL" logo in the App Store.
LOL
I almost spit out what I was drinking

I'm pretty sure it also accepts debit cards if you have one of those. Otherwise using those iTunes cards from the store isn't that bad of an idea.

Yes I need to remember to get a debit card - I keep forgetting to get round to it
Apple probably doesn't want to be associated in any way with the stench of burned PayPal customers.
Is it a country-specific thing?
My AppStore purchases are billed to my iTunes Store Account, and I can change that to bill my PayPal.

iTunes gift cards are theonly method of payment I use. Easier to keep spending under control.
Well what the hell is that slot for in the side of my iMac then ? And how come iMacs don't come with cup holders like Mac Pros ?
Yep, the account you use to buy Mac apps with through the App Store is the same as your iTunes Store account, just to save confusion.
You can redeem your iTunes gift card via the iTunes Store, and then the credit you have will show up on the Mac App Store also

That's what I was trying to say, only I didn't say it very well, which caused confusion............it's not easy being a dog, sometimes my paws get all tangled and I can't bark right.
Or maybe it's that Jamaican lager beer.............
