To those who already had paypal accounts with verified status things worked out perfectly. Log into paypal via nw website and boom authorized founders pack.
However, there are many of us , 45 pages worth of complaints and customers who have to go through the nightmare of dealing with Paypal and the dubious chances of Skrill. I was looking forward to playing this second beta weekend and happy to have decided to buy the founders pack. Wow, was I wrong. I had two lousy options to buy this and Paypal was really my only choice because Skrill sounds like security issue nightmare waiting to happen.
Fine, I created my paypal option because I read that even if i dont have a "paypal" balance the system will just deduct the pay from my credit card automatically. Yeah right... After entering my credit card with a 30k ceiling limit the card linked but it didn't read at the top of my account as verified. Hmm whatever I told myself... this card has been used numerous times for direct purchases no problem. Denied, denied ..next day after 24 hour cool down on account i was told it would work...boom again denied. Wow ok..lets troubleshoot.
It turns out they want my bank account info, ss number to speed up verification etc..No..thats not happening next.
I then get told that I have to wait for some verification code that shows up on my cc transaction page. Well thats a hassle considering I don't have my cc credit card transactions online.....dear god.
So here I am waiting for my physical copy of a verification code that i can somehow enter into paypal to get it verified which I THINK should fix permit the transaction to be approved. By that time the last beta event should be finished....Before anyone tells me to check with the card issuer I did that already and they flat out confirmed Paypal is denying the charge from being completed. I am also a resident of the US...not international.
There are tons of people with the same issue and it's a shame we are being pushed under the rug and not acknowledged. We are being given the same old "its on our side" of the problem that needs to be fixed and this is largely untrue. Anyways, now that i have gotten this off my chest i still feel lousy that I will miss this weekends beta problem as my cc will probably not be "verified" by then on my newly created paypal account.
Please give people who have no desire to deal with paypal or any other shady third party mediator the option to do so via direct charge or heck just sell cards at Gamestop we can pick up and buy the founders pack there with a code.
I urge everyone else out there and I know there are a ton out there with the same problem to make themselves heard, thank you.
