Paypal for slots and transfers!

I just took a moment to look around in the hopes that I might be able to find information about using Paypal to purchase more slots in the game.

I of course searched the forums to find several posts regarding this, all with the same answer. It's not possible. So I said to myself "Self, this can't be. What a silly notion. We can pay for game time using Paypal, but we can't make in game purchases? Let me log into my master account on NCSoft's website. I'm sure I'll find a way to do this." I was wrong. (Sorry self!)

I can't believe this isn't possible! I don't own a credit card (and don't plan to anytime soon). I used to use pre-paid credit cards for my account (subscription and purchases) but it became a huge hassle to change the information every so often as the card would run out. Not to mention my account was deactivated for "fraudulent activity" a while ago due to switching cards so often. I know there's a "workaround" to using a credit card and then going back to Paypal for subscription, but we shouldn't have to do that.

This is a huge bug in the payment system as far as I'm concerned. Is there any way someone can get this ball rolling? I'd love to be able to buy more slots, but I'm not going to go buy a pre-paid credit card just for that. Paypal takes the money directly from my bank account, let me waste my money darn it!!!

We'll see....

Yeah, the issue of Paypal not being available for the in-game store purchases has been around a long time. Like you, I'm in Canada, and for the longest time I was also using pre-paid cards to make that sort of purchase. We might consider it a bug, but I don't think Paragon Studios does. This forum is primarily for help given by other players, so they don't look in here often, unless someone points them here for something specific. If you want to inquire about getting the ball rolling on making that possible, I think PMing one of the Community reps, or possibly Black Pebble, would work better.

In the meantime, though, CIBC got in the Advantage (Visa Debit) card...not the first of its kind in Canada, but a first for one of the national banks. The Visa Debit isn't a credit card. It's a bank card attached to an account, but it can be used for online purchases the way a credit card is, through the Visa system. If you an account with CIBC (there's no extra fee for upgrading to this card, despite what you might read online, some people simply don't understand how to pick an account with fees and transaction limits that work for their needs), or are a student and can get the no-fee unlimited account, I really suggest this. It's made online transactions so much easier for me...I've got my CoH sub on it, and iTunes account on it as well. If you aren't a student, or don't already have an account with them, it's still an option to consider...the 10-transaction per month account has a monthly fee that's less than that of the activation fee of those prepaid cards, however, I know money can be tight these days, so that's much less of an option if you don't really think you'd use it that often.

Anyways, I hope some of this helps!
