About:Chinese Embassy in Australia

As an Australian P assport holder resident in South Australia so I have to apply for a tourist visa by mail to the Canberra office.
Your site states Visa Fees:-
Visa Fees
Please pay by cash, bank check, money order or company check. And the "payee" should be CHINESE EMBASSY IN AUSTRALIA. Personal check, credit card or bank card are not acceptable. All payments should be written in one check or money order. The credit card of the handling charge is AUD 1 if the total amount is less than AUD 100, and AUD 1.5 for the total amount more than AUD 100.
It says Credit Card and Bank Card are not accepted and then goes on to say that a fee is charged if a credit card is used. This is confusing. CAN I PAY BY CREDIT CARD and incurr the $A1.00 fee by post or do you have to correct your web site instructions,
Regards

If you post your application you must use a Money Order from the Post office.

The reference to the credit card and personal cheques is only relevant if you are paying in person in Canberra or at one of other the offices that are now open in capital cities.

Please Note: Credit Card and Saving Card payments are acceptable for reception pick up only. A surcharge of A$1 will be added to the total amount less than A$100; or A$1.5 for the amount more than A$100.
