Cards and steam?

just wondering all; I use whats called a travel card.. aka pre-paid credit card.

steam will not accept it, but pay pal does.

was chatting with some on Tor via TS.

pay pal/steam seem too have a problem..

anyone else who knows others having the same problems?

    Buying Zen through your Steam Wallet is apparently problematic as well.

    I buy Zen exclusively using Steam Wallet and I can confirm that it works just fine. Some users (myself included) were having issues for a while where it wanted to bind everything to your account when using Steam, but that problem has been corrected.. at least for me anyway. Buying Zen through Steam is my preferred method, very fast and easy and you can still buy in $5 quantity.

    I have heard from several of my friends that PayPal and Steam do not get a long. Your best bet if you wish to buy Zen using PayPal is to bypass the Steam Wallet and go to the Arc Billing site by clicking here. From there, you can just buy Zen directly using your PayPal account. That's going to be your quickest and safest method.

    I do use Steam Wallet, but I have my Visa saved on my Steam Account. I have never tried Steam Wallet with PayPal, but I have heard similar horror stories.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    Well... I mentioned the Steam thing because someone said that they got banned for it or something. Some kind of Fraud Protection thing was kicking in and causing problems. Some theorized it was because Arc doesn't want you to "Use a competitor" like Steam. Although it sounds to me like that eventually got fixed according to what you just said.

    this is why I use a travel card..

    I put the cash on, then buy..

    much better than a debit card.
