Click & Buy charges "international processing fee"!

[Aver]

Next thing you know, SE will only accept personal checks and walk-in payment. Will you be saying the same thing if this really happens?

Hey, you never know, this is SE we are dealing with.

Trends are cyclic, everything that's old is new again, etc.

But hey, you could pay for FFXI while getting your groceries at the same time.

I was charged this and I use PayPal/crysta, so I assume it wasn't CnB's fault on this one.

You guys have it easy, complaining about a few cents of charge...
This is what I paid for 5000 yen for buying Crysta:

Got charged this much on Pay Pal:

Total: ¥5.650 JPY

SutoCorp then asked me for scans of personal documents and proof that my physical address matches the address I filled in the account. -_-;

The 650 yen fee translates into 8.50USD FYI.

Then I received an code to transfer the 5000 yen to an Webmoney.jp account and from that I was able to fund my game account.

This means if someone were supposed to be pissed, that would be me and all the other people playing with japanese copies of FFXI but being outside of Japan.

They're blocking any kind of international transactions on their internal billing system because apparently they were not satisfied with having to pay for the money brokers money conversion themselves.

In the end I'll be paying that 8.5 USD of fee every three months.

At least I'm back into the game ...
