bye bye paid account?
As it seems PA-team really wants me to get myself a credit card AND tell them number and code OR to open a paypal account - and for that I need to get a credit card as well - and all that just to pay them 7 Euro. Seems a retarded idea to me.
So I guess I have to find someone who sells me a credit...

Re: bye bye paid account?

jolt then tell pa that "person x has bought y credits" , and pateam add them

Re: bye bye paid account?
alot of people giving out credits.
Go ask ur alliance or mates, and I m sure someone can sort it.
Never had a friend entering the round without a credit if he wanted one.

Re: bye bye paid account?
They work just like a credit card. The only difference between a debit and credit card is a debit card only lets you spend what money you have available to you via your bank account rather than the 'borrowing' of money that you do with a credit card
Anyone with a bank account will probally have a debit card (oh and paypal also doesnt even need a card, as long as you have a bank account then it can be used even without a debit or credit card)

It does need a card: I read about the paypal account for austria saying:
"You need a creditcard and an email-adress"

Sorry, but not entirely true ...
I got a Debit Card with more than enough money on it, yet its not possible for me to pay for my own Credit because PA's Payment system doesnt accept my Debit Card.
Basically the only way is to find someone from your Country with a Credit Card and ask him to buy the Credit for you, then send the Money back via Bank Transfer.
But you need to have some good Contacts, since not everyone does that for you.
PA should really introduce Paypal or another sort of Payment Method, heck even Bank Transfer is fine, isnt it?

I pay by debit card...
and PATeam never see your credit card number etc... as Phil^ said we just get told how many credits you baught then we add them to your account.
So don't dispare! If your not 18 (or the minimum age for cards in your country) then why not walk up to your mum, present her with cash to the value of what you want to put on her card and ask her to borrow hers? thats what I did for stuff on the net before I was old enough for my own. Can't see why she would object.

Because most Parents are total beginners on the Internet and are scared by all the things you can do with it. Ever heard about stories of big Credit Card frauds over the Internet? Due to those things, and also due to human instincts of being cautinous about things they dont know, they wont give out theyr Credit Card to their Kids. You also never know if they will order some P0rn with your Credit Card soon.
Oh and lets not forget there are different sort of Debit Cards ..... at least mine doesnt work with PA ( a German Debit one )
Might not wonder me if PA accepts UK Debit Cards if their Payment Center is stationed in UK

Theres actually not that many debit cards, while each issuing bank will have their own card almost all of them are either on the Visa debit card systems of Visa Debit or Visa Electtron or the Mastercard systems of Maestro, switch or solo

Re: bye bye paid account?
what error are you getting for it. Maestro should work ( try the 'switch' option? ) - Check to make sure you arent using special characters in the names provided - and instead use the english equivelent. ie : from the manual faq -
9. I'm trying to pay but it keeps saying "Payment isn't recieved"? What's going wrong?
Make sure you are entering the details correctly into the payment page. Be aware that the page has problems with certain characters like æ, ø, õ , ô, å and possibly others. Use the normal replacements instead, like ae, oe, o, o and aa.
If not, mail [email protected] and see if they can help

Re: bye bye paid account?
erm...i had a paypal card and u dont need a credit card for it. u apply for it, they send u it and you CANT use it if u dont go to a paypoint and put money in it - it works like a pay as u go fone - if no money in it, it is useless. IT IS NOTHING LIKE A CREDIT CARD and was introduced along with the splash card for kids, under 18's or ppl who dont want credit cards so they can pay/ buy stuff on the internet. Give it a try.

Ditto. Make sure Switch/Solo is selected, otherwise you can read the MOTD and send it to Apocco via PayPal.

Re: bye bye paid account?
I always transfer money to the bank account of someone who can pay
No alliance hc/buddy is gonna rip you off for such a small amount,
especially not if they actually have a job
and if they did, it wouldn't be a big loss
