Booking inquiry from Indonesia for stay in US - payment options

I received a booking inquiry from someone who says he has no credit/debit card. Are there any other options for him?

Thank you for any information.

None really.

Oh wait. There is PayPal.

@Robin28 When a guest goes to book Airbnb will show all the options for that guest based on his country of domicile.

If he can't use paypal or a card ...how will he pay for his flight? Sounds rather odd to me.

Helen, it's pretty normal in Indonesia not to have credit cards. Hotels, flights can be paid via a bank transfer, or even a cash transfer from a mini-market.

I second what Helen said. Maybe there is nothing wrong with the person, maybe there is but I would be very skeptical about that guest and extremely careful.
