    Here's some info that another user dug up, hoping it helps with any questions there may be:
    Is it possible to pay with paysafecard in currencies other than EUR (e.g. US dollars, GB pounds, etc.)?

    Yes, of course it's also possible to use paysafecard to make payments in foreign currencies. Simply enter your paysafecard PIN in the payments window of the webshop, and the sum will be converted automatically. The currencies accepted by paysafecard and the current exchange rates are at your fingertips in the Currency converter.

    How do I use a paysafecard to pay on the internet?

    It's simple and convenient to use paysafecard to pay at any of the over 2,700 webshops of our partners; all you have to do is enter a 16-digit PIN code. You can combine up to ten paysafecards for a single payment, thus enabling you to pay sums up to a maximum of 1000 pounds. Paying online


    What does "clearing" mean, and how long does it take for a sum to clear?

    As soon as you click "Pay" in your webshop's paysafecard payment window, the corresponding sum of money will enter the clearing process from your paysafecard and will be set aside for transfer to the webshop. If there are exceptional circumstances (e.g. a technical problem) that make it impossible for the webshop to successfully carry out your transaction, then your account will be credited the sum in question Your account is credited automatically, normally within two hours of your transaction. The credited amount is then at your disposal again.

    TIP: The precise length of time for a payment to be made can be seen under "Details" in the
    credit balance overview.

    If, at the end of this time, you cannot see the cleared sum on your paysafecard, please send us an e-mail quoting your serial number and the user name you used when you first registered with the webshop.


    Why has a sum been deducted from my paysafecard but not been credited to me in the webshop?

    Errors like this only arise rarely; when they do, some kind of technical problem in the course of the transaction is generally the cause. If your payment has still not been credited to the webshop a short time later, please let us know as soon as you can.
    Simply e-mail us the following data relating to your paysafecard transaction (you can find this data under "Detail" in the credit balance overview).

    * Serial number of your paysafecard
    * Email adress
    * Nickname

    We will happily contact the webshop on your behalf and arrange a repeat transaction. Please also let us know your e-mail address and your user name in the context of the webshop concerned.


    What is my credit balance?

    You can check your credit balance at any time under "Query credit balance".


    How long does my paysafecard remain valid?

    Your paysafecard does not have a limited period of validity, and any credit you have built up will therefore not be lost.


    Where can I buy my paysafecard?

    You can buy a paysafecard in over 230,000 sales outlets all over Europe. To find your nearest stockist, take a look at Find stocklist.

    Hi, I want to know someting about these cards, here is the thing, I buy a 10 EUR card (because they do not want to accept dollars), then I charge my account with 10$, wich leaves emmm let's say 3$ on my paysafe card, what should I do then? because would be annoying to save the cards with 3$ on it and then type all the 16 numbres of each card to make just 1 charge of 10$ or 20$.
    would be really nice if there is a system wich carge zen according to EUR :)

    I hope you answer my question ><

    9. What can I do with a remaining credit balance on my paysafecard, and how can I pay a sum that is greater than the credit balance on my paysafecard?

    My apologies, should have been #9, but hold shift to long and it turned #) b:surrender

    but to simplify, do we have the option to turn multiple PIN codes in order to get the needed amount for higher options (like paying 35 EUR (aka 4 PINS) for 50 gold) ?

    P.S. Fix the "foreign character post breaking" bug <.<;

    wouldn't that be #(? Anyways, I think what you're asking is something that you can do through paysafecard, since you'll never need or be able to drop 75 pounds at once in the game.

    Anything up to the max card amount can be combined through their website, and since the max is 75 pounds you'll never need to enter multiple cards at once through our site.

    Ah, excellent, so the #9 described a paysafecard account feature.

    Though, I am trying to investigate this myself, but in my place there are no paysafecards available (not in the EU yet b:cry), but rather local substitutes that are "supposed to work with" paysafecard payment method (as they say they have an agreement with PSC themselves). My question is, would such "cards" work here, or should I try my luck with PSC directly uncle spoons?

    Definitely ask psc about that, the only answer I could give you would be a guess. Maybe they'll be giving you a promo code to use on psc, which in turn you will use here? I have no real clue but if you find out can you please enlighten us?

    Paysafecard is not directly affiliated with our company, this would be something that you would need to ask them about.

    Its a lil late for this question but.... if u purchase gold with Paysafe u're automatically in the event to win a nine tail mount... but does it work like the events with the prepaid cards where every purchase is one entry? so if u purchase 5x20$ u have better chances to win than with purchasing 1x100$?

    I know its kinda late for this question
