Rastus Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Hi, I live outside the US and don't have a credit card, therefore I cannot open a paypal account. Will there be any other ways of purchacing 1.1, or will people like myself be forever stuck with 1.02 & incompatibility with online gaming? Can I send an International money order or something? Any help would be appreciated as I really want to get back online Thanks
Rastus Posted April 8, 2005 Author Posted April 8, 2005 My solution So I just got back from the bank. Arranged a Visa Debit card. I will have to wait a few weeks, but at least I have a solution. Yes I am addicted and look forward to 1.1 Hope everyone else manages to find a solution as well, and I will see you all online. Cheers :)

Rastus Posted April 8, 2005 Author Posted April 8, 2005 Yes but.. It's still credit card stuff. I know most people like credit cards, myself and many others don't. In case you (ED team) didn't realise........... In paypal's advertising and even it's own help files say you can use direct from a non US bank account, Even has instructions on how to do it (ie. how to deposit money direct from an Australian bank account). Problem is when you try to put some money in your account - You cant. A phone call proved that yes they may think about it in the future, But not yet! I found this a little misleading. Along with other comments on these pages, I have a feeling that you may have been misled by Paypal about their ability and how international they really are. Myself being somewhat hooked by LOMAC, will do whatever it takes to get 1.1 and have already spent time at the bank changing accounts around, and yes I will be using the Verisign Visa link. I would like to say thankyou for developing 1.1, Judging by the chat in HL going on at this moment, you have done a great job. All the best :)
