Not sure if they have those items, but Jameco accept Paypal.
I once used Jameco almost exclusively. I started doing business with them in 1977 (or 1976, memory is fading...) when they were just starting out and would do will-calls on my way to/from work. Sadly, I learned that I was only a valued customer when I didn't have any problems with their service. After 35+ years, I decided to part ways...

Jameco used to have a vast repository of old data sheets on a (probably forgotten about) server somewhere.

It got moved to an FTP server a few years back - whether its still there....................

EBay bought PayPal early in the development of PayPal. Because eBay owns PayPal, eBays cometitirs were not willing to do business with PayPal. Recently, shareholders realized that growth could be accelerated if
PayPal would split from eBay. Also, if PayPal did not split, another payment system (apple pay) would become the new default payment system. Therefore, eBay will separate their business with PayPal and launch an IPO for
PayPal.

After the IPO, PayPal hoping to get contracts with all major retailers including Amazon.

Unfortunately, the close tie to eBay and now the separation with eBay has created a lot of confusion in the customer base who think there is a rift between eBay and PayPal or a quality issue with PayPal. There is not. It is done to cut ties and increase the volume of business that PayPal will have access to.

Thanks for the tip, I've never heard of them before. What about shipping? How long does it take and how much does it cost?
Tayda charges by the piece. Starting at about $2. In the US, they ship everything to a Colorado shipping point and then individual envelopes are shipped via USPS from there. No import issues, no delays. I usually have everything within 10 days. Not worth paying for the rush.
