PayPal Payment Option Please!

[Tadacho]

I have a couple of Dutch FC friends who have been unable to play the game thanks to the removal of Ultimate Pay.

The only other payment options left open to them are credit cards - something that is a difficult process to obtain in their country, but also something that some people aren't able to get, say, if they have bad credit...

Regardless of reasons, they are holding out for a PayPal payment option, but I was wondering:

1. Do we even have confirmation this is coming at all?
2. When?

[Grotesque]

PayPal would be nice, sure.

But as an alternative, just buy Game Time Cards on Ebay or Amazon. Problem Solved.

Never.

Because chargebacks. Paypal almost always side with the customer. See ArksCash and PSO2 for a similar problem with a similar payment option.

Greetings,

We understand the frustration that the removal of the PlaySpan, and by extension PayPal, billing option is having on customers that relied on it for paying for subscription fees or for the optional services like retainers.

We are currently working on implementing a PayPal payment option and we hope to have this up and running soon. In the meantime, if you do encounter errors when attempting to register your credit card, please contact our Support Center for assistance.

Thank you for that quote I will pass it on!

Also, the game time cards are an option, but my friend is a Legacy player so would be being charged more than necessary.

Won't believe it till I see it. Square are penny-pinchers in every other respect. When a customer can sub, then pull the sub from the Paypal site and instigate a chargeback that will backdate, but that won't backdate game access, (you can't take away something the player has already had,) then even if it does go live, they'll undoubtedly pull it not long after.

Because people are sh*t and do stuff like this all the time. More often than not, it's a parent realising their kid has run up funds because they're lax with their passwords, and then refuses to pay for the stuff they've bought.

And we have a cash shop coming soon, too. Lots of pretty vanity items for those little darlings to blow mummy and daddy's money on.

Im a legacy player too and pay only the 10.99€

And for the unsub thing, if you do that you will get your complete service account closed. No more gaming for you until you repay the debts, no matter how long your account would be running still.

Pretty sure you're talking 100% with your emotions rather than logic atm.

Payplan is no longer available simply because that website was shut down, which is not SE's fault at all. So now SE is trying to make Paypal an option again, which you refuse to believe through your own stubbornness. You sure do love to mindlessly hate because you're mad, rather than look at things at an actually logical standpoint.

Also, your last sentence really proves my first sentence right. Wow.

Nobody intends to unsub, dunno where you got that from =P

is 10.99 the Legacy price for EU? And you're able to buy Game Time at the Legacy pricing?

Think what you wish. I'll happily put money on Square pulling Paypal after a couple of months. Payplan had very different custom usage policies. Paypal essentially can't be bothered with proper investigation and negotiation, and will happily just side with the customer, to make their jobs easier. Their complaints procedure locks the seller into a one month waiting queue, too, with the only option being to refund without question, to abort the queue time. Meanwhile, Square won't be able to legally terminate access, because the payment has already been made.

"My son used my account without my consent."
"My computer was hijacked."
"Your site is too confusing to use, I didn't mean to resubscribe."

This is exactly why people like Sony only accept it in certain regions, where custom service laws weigh in their favour.
