IV Store Payment via PayPal fails - Advice needed!

Hey guys,

today I wanted to buy both the boxed All4Games-bundle and the sourcecode for Darwinia/Multiwinia but I have one problem. Usually I pay everything via direct debiting system but when I log in to PayPal, I get the message, that this is not possible for the Introversion Store and I must enter my credit card details. However, I do not have one!

I think the IV guys have activated the option that it must be an instant payment to be accepted... do you think, I am able to transfer money from my bank account to my PayPal account to be able to pay directly without the need of a credit card?

Exta information: I am from Germany and therefore have a german bank account. Furthermore I've contacted IV via the web form and I will wait for their response while I hope someone of you can give me some information on this issue.

Thanks in advance guys and goodbye! :roll:

This should work; it's how I do many of my transactions online.

I've enqueued a transaction to my PayPal account and hope this one works. If i either experience issues or success, I will update this post. Thanks for now :)

If this doesn't work, another method would be to purchase a Moneypak (United States Only). Moneypak is directly associated with Paypal, so it's a sure-fine alternative should the previously aforementioned not work. Keep in mind you'll have to pay for it by cash only. There's a $5 charge for purchasing the card so bring an extra $5 with you. Best places to get it would be a local Wal-Greens, Wal-Mart (maybe, haven't been there for a while), or other convenience stores (NOT Target!).

So I cannot talk to anyone a live, not even if we are just talking about the game without influencing the game?

You are not posting in bold. :p

Also, that would be best asked of jelco, he makes the rules.

Traditionally, no talk ABOUT the game is allowed between the dead and the living, everything can have an influence. You can hook up with Feud via PM if you like.

WTF is wrong with you? :lol:
Futhermore, I don't understand what you were talking about... nevertheless, FYI my transaction from my bank account to PayPal isn't finished yet and therefore I still have to wait.
