At Model World Shop, we understand that our discerning customers demand not only premium model products but also seamless and secure payment experiences. As specialists in model railways, diecast collectibles, and hobbyist essentials, we’ve tailored our payment solutions to match the precision and quality of our products.
Our Commitment to Secure Transactions
Every transaction at Model World Shop is protected by industry-standard SSL encryption, ensuring your financial information remains confidential. We never store complete credit card details on our servers after processing, giving you peace of mind with every purchase of your Hornby locomotives, limited-edition diecast models, or delicate plastic model kits.
Accepted Payment Methods
Credit & Debit Cards
We accept all major card providers to accommodate our global customer base:
- Visa – Worldwide acceptance for all your model purchases
- MasterCard – Secure payments for railway sets and accessories
- JCB – Preferred by our collectors in Japan and Asia
Our system automatically detects your card type during checkout for a streamlined experience.
PayPal
For international customers and those who prefer an extra layer of security:
- Instant checkout without entering card details
- Buyer protection on all model kits and collectibles
- Currency conversion for global transactions
Particularly recommended when purchasing limited-edition items that may require quick checkout.
Payment FAQs for Model Collectors
This can occur due to several reasons common with hobby purchases:
- Incorrect CVV or expiration date entry
- Your bank’s fraud prevention measures (common with high-value collectibles)
- International transaction blocks (for non-US cards purchasing rare items)
We recommend contacting your card issuer or using PayPal as an alternative.
For our fast-selling limited edition diecast models and railway sets, PayPal often provides the quickest checkout experience while maintaining security.
Currently, we don’t offer installment plans directly, but PayPal Credit may be available in your region for larger purchases like complete model railway sets or multiple plastic model kits.
Special Note for International Collectors
We proudly serve model enthusiasts worldwide (excluding some remote areas). International customers often find PayPal simplifies currency conversion and provides familiar security. All transactions are processed in USD, with conversion handled by your payment provider.
