Click and Buy and Crysta? Garbage, SE

[Kaizlu]

I wasn't able to use C&B - outside of the US.

Crysta was the only option, and I used Paypal. I only paid what was needed. No even amounts or things. Or is that option unavailable in your country?

I mean, yeah - it would be better if it was a direct transaction instead of using C&B or Crysta. But right now you can pay the exact amount you want.

I'm in Mexico. When I began playing I tried to setup a C&B account (using an american credit card and billing address) and wasn't able to. After two tries my account was "blocked". I was actually scared (blocked sounds like something really bad happened) and contacted customer support. Here's what they told me:

Thank you for contacting ClickandBuy and for your message.

Our records show that you are currently outside the United States.
Please note that Square Enix US can only be used from within the US.

Therefore, you are not be able to use your ClickandBuy account for purchases from this merchant in spite of your ClickandBuy account having been successfully activated.

Since this is a matter beyond our influence please contact Square Enix directly for further information.

But it doesn't really matter now. I used Paypal without any issues (took less than 5 minutes and didn't have to create yet another account in the web), and only added the exact amount of Crysta needed.

I can't add Crysta in my account, how is that you can?
I only have Click&Buy as payment method and Ultimate Pay doesn't exist.
You only said that you are in Argentina, but did you make your registration with Argentina as country?

What's ridiculous is that ClickandBuy is based in London, so you get slapped with foreign transaction fees if you pay through them. On top of that CnB has a questionable reputation and has a negative rating with the Better Business Bureau.

CnB is primarily used by gambling organizations, because of their sloppy paperwork, and they have no real regulation.

Square-Enix's usage of CnB, and my discovery of CnB's reputation and lack of customer support, was why I terminated my credit card on the spot and had a new card issued. That was a huge inconvenience for me in the middle of the college season!

It's really irksome that SE hasn't added more payment options.

P.S. When you buy Crysta, you end up paying service charges to PlaySpan...

I was actually worried about this, I've read it before but since C&B is not an option I went ahead and used the other service. I just checked my credit card statement/thing and the charge was only for the amount added. So I really don't see that "service fee".

Who knows. Thing is SE should implement a simple way to pay or at least let us use PayPal directly without going trough another service/company.
