Petition: clickandbuy the only way no,thanks.

[Niyariko]

I wanna get this straight, for a Canadian using Clickandbye...
i use to pay SE $14.91 each month with 2 mules
so...
$14.91 (to SE)
+5.9% (C&B currency exchange fee)
+3.9% (C&B by paying with CreditCard)

which adds up to $16.41 Canadian each month
$1.50 is going directly to C&B
Is my math correct?

And each year, i'll need to pay $18 extra to what I used to pay for a 9 years old game which i've invested aprox. $1500 (pc game disc, ps2 version and all expansions included) for the past 8 years already!?

Check the picture linked above your post. Also, allegedly they can buy in exact amounts by going through WebMoney and just putting in exactly how much they want. Someone posted a work-around for NA players (involving a JP hotel somehow?) on the BG forums, I think.

Ya I was posting at the time and didn't see it.

I am from New Zealand, about 5 years ago when I purchased the security token we had to register a SE account so we can link the security token onto it, I am from New Zealand so of course when I choose the region when creating SE account we choose EU&Other Regions since there were only NA JP and EU&Region 3 Options to choose so of course I chose EU&Other Regions, who knows it will hunt it us down now at that time? now I am screwed because the only option to make a payment in EU SE account is Click and Buy, NO Crysta available, NO direct debit credit card, No Paypal, and even worse, now everytime I try to transfer my POL account and when I get to the Click and Buy payment step it shows an error message says "Error This offer is not activated for your country of origin.", I searched on internet, no luck, so I made a phone call to Click and Buy in EU, waited for a good 20mins on the line until someone finally pick up, and the operator was in very bad manner, after 10mins of talking and explaining he told me I have to verified my credit card in my Click and Buy that they put 2 amount of US dollars and I have to put them onto the click and buy confirmation page, and the 2 amount of money will take 3~7days to appear on the invoice and he said if it still doesnt work it doesnt work thank you sir and hang up the phone. so if it doesnt work , to the EU SE account users that isnt in EU like me, totally had no choice, we only have an option to pay with click&buy which doesnt work and cant continue FFXI service.
P.S also tried my sis's credit card from Australia, appears to be same error message so i dont know whats wrong with it, friend from US didnt have to verfiy their credit card and could use right away and got their account transfer done in few mins. I also heard someone said some countries/banks dont even support Click and Buy I am not sure if thats true but maybe thats why i get the error message.

This interests me. Got a link, or even a thread topic?

It makes me sad but I think I'm done. Unless there is a direct payment method, which has worked for me since 2003. I don't want to deal with paypal, playspan, click and buy, or whatever. It sounds like a hassle, and maybe I don't understand it and it's easy or whatever, but I shouldn't have to. Is Crysta something that can be bought in a store like MS Points and PSN, or WoW cards? If it's like that maybe, but if I have to sign up for another damn internet service to use my other internet service, I'm done.

To save scrolling the above......

10417
Transaction cannot complete.
The transaction cannot complete successfully. Instruct the customer to use an alternative payment method.
Instruct the customer that PayPal is unable to process the payment and redisplay alternative payment methods with which the customer can pay.

Actually, if you HAD scrolled the page I provided the link to you'd have seen there are THREE possible causes listed, yours is but the first and not the most informative of the three.

These are the other two:

Transaction cannot complete.


The transaction cannot complete successfully. Instruct the customer to use an alternative payment method.


Account not associated with a usable funding source

Credit card or Billing Agreement is required to complete payment

Yes it is .. use PlaySpan, no 'sign up ' for anything.

So playspan cards are something that I can pick up at my local walmart or gamestop and redeem for Crysta? I don't think i've ever seen them. Excuse me I'm ignorant of this stuff, I've used the same CC since the game came out here in the US and I've barely ever bothered with payment options except to change my exp date twice.

But thats like paying a company(paypal) to pay a company(PlaySpan) to pay for Crysta to pay for FFXI, and try doing that every months!? SE, just take my money, really, [SIZE="6"]TAKE IT![/SIZE]
Can it get more complicated!?
