Why does a business only accept wire transfer for printhead??!!

I need a printhead for my Mutoh VJ 1204 solvent. I have found a couple of places in Indonesia that are selling them for half the price. Their website shows they accept credit cards but by the time I put my info in, the only payment they take is a bank wire transfer. Can anyone tell me why? What's wrong with credit cards and Pay Pal from the USA?
I am VERY leery of doing this as I will not have any recourse if they don't send the product etc.
Attached are screenshots.

Heres what they said!! 3rd attachment. Not buying from Indonesia!

Yeah, no way I would send a wire transfer.

I have been looking for a source that sells print heads cheaper too,
I came across this place:

http://www.grosirbudget.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=83

They list my $1100 heads at $433.
I haven't bought anything from them yet, so I have no idea if they're
legitimate, but it does show they're located in New York City.

Matters not what link you give, all points back to Indonesia

Yeah, you're probably right.
I knew the heads were coming from Indonesia but
thought they had a vendor in NYC.

I probably wouldn't even mind buying from a company in Indonesia
as long as they took Visa

In the famous words of Monty Python, "Run away!"
I have tried to deal with similar companies and at the last minute decided to opt out, when it feels wrong chances are it is.

My company have wasted money by trying to buy something from indonesia. We have expected that, but just have tried. We had phone contact to this guys there, and they made special offers by phone ... but no delivery happen, and the company can't be found anymore later.

Thank you everyone for your input!!!! Not going to buy from Indonesia.
Does ANYONE know of a legitimate business that has printheads at a reasonable price?
