I would rather just use my credit card than use paypal (which bills to my credit card anyway).

Paypal also periodically bugs me that I'm "approaching my spending limit", and I should "get verified" -to do this, they want information about my bank account, something that I will never allow.

I'm too young to have a credit card however i use my moms through her paypal account, I would rather pay for things (like i was considering getting an extra character slot) with paypal as I feal its more secure than giving out the card number.

"Yes. I DO NOT have a credit card, I DO currently use PayPal and I WOULD use it for GW purchases."

My first question on guru when the online store was released was if it would ever support paypall. Still waiting for that day.

I use paypal for ebay, but never for anything else.

With ebay, I'm buying products from people I don't know. I am much more comfortable using PayPal because I know they won't see nor abuse my credit card number.

With the exception of ebay, I just want a quick and simple payment process. Granted, the paypal option is probably easy, I also don't want to be bothered to have to lookup my account, login to it and then deal with the payment. I prefer logging into a secure website and just typing everything in.

So PayPal option or not, I will continue to use the standard credit card option, unless I'm nervous about your company (as I am with sellers on ebay).

Paypal? So gold farming bots can use the money they got from gold to buy more accounts easily? WTF!

No, I would not use Paypal. Why? Because my purchases are being tracked by another person, and I would much rather have them say, "Oh, he bought something from PlayNC (or any other place) directly. Okay," than "He put money into a Paypal account? Omg! What is he using a Paypal account for?!" And then I would have to awkwardly explain that I am not buying porn, drugs, or illegal artifacts, and that I'm just buying (whatever) from PlayNC (or wherever). And then I'd still be under suspicion. Stupid paranoid persons. T_T

Please, release some kind of small pack you can buy in stores that include the most important online shop stuff. I don't have a credit card, I don't have pay pal, and I really want this stuff. And no, I'm not a kid, I'm 20. I just don't have a credit card is all.

Personally I think you're screwing alot of ppl over with this Mission Pack promotion, I know you're just trying to make money and I'm ok with that but I just CANNOT get it, despite having money and the will to pay full price for this!!

Dude it's about adding paypal as an alternative for paying in the online shop, not replacing it. And no I am not gonna pay monthly costs for a credit card, which I am only gonna use 2 buy once 2 chars slots and gwen .

I would rather use my credit card. I don't trust PayPal with my cc information. No good reason as I have never researched it, just non-specific Internet fraud/hacking fears.

Those internet fraud/hacking fears dont have anything to do with paypal, simpel fact is that if you dont protect and secure your computer, chances are that your cc info might be stolen or whatever, paypal is pretty safe, recently bought Garrys mod for 3 seperate accounts and it all worked out pretty good.

There have been lots of cases where peoples CC info has been hijacked, and that is all down to ignorance at computer security, and having keyloggers, spyware on their pc's.

If anet brings paypal tomorrow, i would definetly deposit some cash on my account and buy stuff just to get the mission pack.

Psh! Where ever did I say that I didn't want them to replace it? I just said I wouldn't use it. The poll does say to explain why you wouldn't use it, and I explained just that. :P

Paypal?

Lawlz no.
Debit Card (Maestro) FTW.

The less things I have connected to my one Paypal account the better. If anyone got into it and fiddled it.... anything I had to use it to pay for would be effectively nerfed along with it.

Wow would you mind telling me how to pay with a Maestro? Cause the only options are: Visa, Master Card, American Express, Carte Bancaire and Carte Bleue

No, I wouldn't use it, since I have no clue how to, plus I'm not sure if I can at all, here in the Netherlands. Why can't I just make a deposit on an account, with a certain code as description (which you get after you "order" the online product), you confirm the code, and I get the product on my account.

Wouldn't that be 10 times more easy?

Paypal works like a charm in holland. You send (een overschrijving maken ) to paypal. Then you have credits on that account, which you can use to pay your online stuff. It's really easy actually. And you don't need to have a creditcard, mastercard, visacard, any other card which you have to pay extra for a year. You can just use your bankcard.

Guild Wars Online Store already allows me to purchase using Credit Card.

I do not see any need to use a third party PayPal thingie.

alternative for people in the Netherlands for buying from plaync.com would be http://www.paysafecard.com/nl/

Unfortunately it's not accepted in the ingame store and plaync.com doesn't have character slots..

Well to bad this wasn't implemented or some info on it. I decided to skip the purchase of Gwen + 2 Chars Slots as a whole. Loss of 60 Euro's. Oh well GG anet.

because of bad experiences with them. Like some people on ebay say... once you accept Paypal, you accept all the headaches that come with it too.

im just 19 and do not have access to a credit card, it would be great to have this but is a little to late as the Mission Pack Offer expires soon, my mum has PayPal set up but no longer have use of the credit card(expired) and do not plan on getting another 1(cost way to much)...

there are those(12-19) who dont have access to credit cards but our mums will let use PayPal....and notice the only people saying no are the ones WITH credit cards

man i sure wish anet would implement the payment option of surfpin which is the most convenient fastest safest and best way to pay for things online.
until then i will not touch the online store due to hackers and i.d thefts

btw their isnt really nothing to buy well unless anet opens up an item shop or something.

This exactly. I have a card and strongly prefer to use it. It's how you've gotten my cash through the OL store before. I have PP, but I don't care too much for it and only use it when there's no other payment option.

Gaile I know this thread is old but maybe you should have stated: Would you rather have it as an option in addition to credit card or would that be pointless.

I would rather have it as an option since I use paypal for many things. The last time I used my credit card outright I got charges that didn't belong on there and my numbers sold to other companies who also picked at it. I finally caught it and canceled the card, but now I am fighting to get that fixed.

With PayPal I dont have to worry about that.
