ADVICE - buying from Castle GalleryNI, by kidaussie on Aug 10, 2016 22:53:13 GMT 1, Hi there,
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this. Has anyone had experience with buying a Banksy from this gallery?
Was hoping pay via PayPal as per their website: www.castlegalleryni.com/howtobuy.asp
But they don't accept PayPal for large transfers (I would assume all their transactions are large ones with the amount of Banksy pieces) Andy at the gallery suggested I check for references on the forum.
Do they accept credit card? Is it normal to not accept PayPal and request a wire transfer?
Thanks all!

He let me pay with PayPal but I had to pay all fees, which I was cool with because that's the only way I could put it on the Credit card. He's always got access to some of the Finest pieces on the market. Just like everyone else says. Nothing to worry about.

ADVICE - buying from Castle GalleryNI, by cmodart on Aug 11, 2016 17:57:59 GMT 1, Very knowledgeable and well regarded seller.
Many sellers will not accept PayPal for large transactions due to the high occurrence of fraudulent buyers protesting release of funds. Do not buy from a private seller without using PayPal
In this case, you have received many positive recommendations from people with direct experience with the seller. I think it would be an acceptable risk to use wire transfer
