NO Paypal service AGAIN

Davelantor · 2012-11-20, 12:47 AM

I see Paypal is not an option for PS2 membership, for some paypal is preference, but for others its a necessity.

Its rather retarded that they neglect to put this in.

A lot of players around EU cant use their credit cards due to a bank policy difference. So with no other payment options, most basic of which should be paypal.

There is simply no way for some of us to be able to become a member to PS2.

Don't eu players have a different company to go through? what was it again?
Eu does not pay through soe.com I know this for a fact.

For anyone in the US, 7-11 has SC cards worth x2 in value. And you can buy gift credit cards to sub with.

I'm in the UK and just bought membership through SOE.com. Mainland Europe may be different.

They have Pro7 cash or something. I always thought Pro7 was an awful German cable channel with 10 minute commercial breaks.

that has nothing to do with membership payments or payments of any kind, we go trough the same process the US guys go. Its just that some bank no longer support a redundant 0$ authentication system, so for SOE, some CCs dont work while they will work for anywhere else.

I'm sorry you are disappointed but we do accept Paypal,.just not for recurring memberships (which is what we offer at this time). I honestly can't think of any company which does recurring memberships with Paypal.

So it will be possible to buy non-recurring membership with PayPal in the future? That's great, thank you Radar.

Except companies like BLIZZARD (World of Warcraft), Godaddy, and a host of other companies...

They all allow reoccurring payments through Paypal!

But not in Europe (for Blizzard) for some reason. I can pay by card but I'd much prefer a Paypal option too.

Europeans frauding too much ?

TheStigma · 2012-11-20, 06:14 AM

Is there any way to check if your debit-card will have this issue? (short of just trying to order) ?

I talked to my bank via online-chat and they couldn't really give me a definite answer despite recognizing the situation.

Basically making sure that lots of European players simply CAN'T give their money to SOE sounds like a very poor business strategy... I would very much like to see Paypal as an option too. Using creditcards online is very 2008

So there is no chance we will ever be able to pay with anything except creditcards? Man, I wanted to buy a membership (12 months to be exactly).
You'll lose a whole lot of potential income this way, you know that right?
