  The deposit can be accepted through Ebay and the rest can be done by Paypal, credit card or again through Ebay, however Ebay fees will apply in this case  therefore we recommend using Paypal direct or the deposit button below.
  
  Payment plans on existing stock
  We also allow customers to buy existing STR's in advance, again a 20% deposit is required to reserve the instrument (at this time we will advance the payment for the bass so that it is actually in our custody so to speak), and the balance can be paid off for a period of up to 6 months in installments with 0% interest.
