Paypal please! (or Riot :P)

Don't think Japanese company such as se wanna deal with PayPal yet they forced people to use click and rob me shitty company . Just buy gift card , wish PayPal is used but shame tsk tsk.

If three other normal credit/debit cards arent working that have worked several times in the past, I am not taking the risk of a Gift card from visa, etc. We shouldnt have to jump through hoops to pay for things. Japanese company or not. If you are going to offer a game in another country then you must be able to accept that country's currency and payment formats. I could understand if it was an issue on my banks end, but it is not. These are three different cards, from three different companies, and ALL of them have been used successfully in the past to pay for both my sub and cash shop items. The most recent usage was two days prior to the error. My Subscription was taken out off the card that I was originally trying to use on the cash shop. So, there is no excuse why it isn't working. Until this is resolved, I will be bumping this thread. Everyday if I have to, to bring it back to the forefront of important topics.

This isn't exclusive to SE, though. A lot of Japanese companies simply don't consider PayPal to be worth dealing with for one reason or another. I have no idea why and it was kind of a perplexing thing while I was living there.

I'm not even asking that they use paypal directly. Find another provider who has the option of accepting paypal. Just like they had with UltimatePay.
And failing that, FIX THE CURRENT PAYMENT SYSTEM.

It could be because Paypal won't accept funds from a Japanese bank account. At least, they didn't when I tried to make a Japanese account while I was there.

My best guess is that their system for one reason or another doesn't mesh with Japan's archaic banking system.

Then only offer Paypal to the accounts registered under an NA/EU, problem solved. Different regions, different methods of payments.

Except somewhere along the line a Japanese bank is going to be involved.
It's probably not as simple as people think it is, especially when you MUST understand that not only are Japanese banks archaic as hell, but they're also rather shady.
You know how you can go to an ATM anywhere in the U.S. and pull out money with almost any bank's card so long as you pay a small fee? Yeah you can't do that in Japan.
Remember that SE isn't maliciously trying to screw you over. If they could "easily" do PayPal, they would've done it already. They want your money.

Uh, yes you can. If you are with a ridiculously small local bank you might have some trouble, but otherwise it's fine.
