Paypal cracking down on flashcart stores

[Just Another Gamer]

So buying something you want online is stupid now?

Seriously if buying a flashcard is considered as "stupid" then buying a whole bunch of other things should count as well.

I never said any of that.

Sorry I thought thats what you meant.

man that sucks but what can you do, it's more annoying for me because if you use your credit card directly, my bank charges a currency conversion fee because the website i am buying charges in dollars so that will hurt me more.

There is a UK site that i use that will accept Visa and not Mastercard, but also will accept Paypal but if you want to use Paypal you have to contact them 1st.

So obviously they are using a work around.

What's the website that you use. I'm also from the uk. Would greatly appreciate it.

I've never liked paypal so I've always been using Visa and Mastercard instead to pay for stuff online and never had any issues. =3
Well, I got my first Visa when I was 16 which I used to cash in my salary from all the part times I worked and then two years ago I also got a Mastercard, so I own both types...

This seems kind off pointless. Most stores will just find a way around it. And for the stores that drop Paypal, people will just pay with a mastercard or visa. Even if you can't apply for one, there are more than enough pre-paid ones.

Since when has etcome been saying they intend to add Mastercard as a payment option? I've been looking for a DSTWO for a while to get GBA and DS games on my 3DS, and eally want to get one from etcome.

What other sites do you recommend if etcome never does get mastercard as a payment option?

Some Flashcart shops let you pay with paypal to their personal account if you ask to. I always use paypal , it's quick and safe just not great for those "controversal" things

Why does PayPal care about flashcarts? It's not like they're in the video game business.

You could get a debit card. Works like a credit card, except that expenses are directly deducted from your account, so you don't have to deal with credit card fees

Not in Canada dude. most you can do is use debit card with paypal to buy a prepaid credit card online lol

Wow. Conversation from 2012 getting bumped.
We can probably let this one fade out until something new happens.
