Will PayPal be available as a payment method?

Dev said he would have more info up by Friday on founders program.

[Dirk Le Daring]

5 days or so to go. I would imagine we will know by the weekend.

At least I hope so.

visa/mastercard/american express/discover/echeck, thats all anyone needs. paypal is an abused medium to try and cheat payees out of money after the fact, just look at the rampant paypal abuse on ebay. and too top it off if your paypal is hacked with a bank account attached, whammo you broke.

ill stick with my fraud protected credit cards and secure non online bank account.

Not everyone has those.

Chances are, they'll accept Paypal. Anyone with a checking account can use that.

Barring that, you could always fly to Vancouver and hand them cash, in person.

I don't think so, paying online games always a tough issues for people who don't live in NA, lots of people willing to pay but they can't because not like any 1 can have a credits cards, especially students.

not sure what you mean by green dot cards, but in Oz there are pre-paid Visa cards avaliable in some supermarkets, and from most coincernage desks where you can get gift cards...

ya im talking about those visa cards you pay money for, then you put money on them, and shop online or anything else, since theres no credit associated with it (you put money on it first, usually max of 100$ for the basic ones) and then spend off the card theres no restrictions on who can use it outside of people with money.

Why would anyone use Pay Pal.

The only thing I specifically don't use Paypal for is the purchase of firearms, and related parts/accessories; if they catch you doing that, they freeze your account. There are multiple documented cases of this; just Google 'Paypal gun'.

The only thing I specifically DO use Paypal for is online game subscription payments...EVE, WoT, soon-to-be MWO, etc. There's nothing for them to destroy, delete, etc., and they can't freeze my account for purchasing digital violence (even if they did, it would not be the end of the world, since I don't pay for anything, and I don't keep money on my Paypal account).

For the most part, though, I use my debit card unless I'm in a situation where it's easier...like when I try to get more gold for my WoT Premium, and it repeatedly declines my card for no apparent reason.

I'd rather use Paypal. I've got some credit.

C-bills are the only form of canon approved payment.
