Paypal please! (or Riot :P)

[Vespar]

The thing is, the people who have contacted their banks because SE's support team says the error's 401, 601, etc mean your bank declined the transaction, get the same answer from their banks. They don't even see an attempt made to authorize a charge. Which is what my bank also told me. Meaning that for whatever reason Global Collect's system is just declining the card before attempting authorization and once it declines it gets blocked for 24 hours or more.

Once again, can we have a status update on paypal or new payment methods please SE?

I've updated my op to include the technical support forum stickied thread regarding 401,601 payment errors, and the original notice of Playspan/UGTC termination on the Lodestone.
