Paypal

[dunklezhan]

Hiya,

Apologies if this specific question has been covered, I've searched and can't find anything.

I don't have a credit card. I have a debit card but its not one of the accepted types. I know that it is possible to buy stuff from the store via paypal but I cannot for the life of me figure out *how*! I can't see a link, its not an accepted payment type etc etc.

Can someone take me through step by step how I do this please? Apologies for being a n00b, but, well... I'm a n00b. Albeit a n00b who really would like to give Turbine some money at some point fairly soon.

Cheers

I'm in the same boat, when trying to subscribe for VIP privileges I only have the credit card option, but wish to use paypal.

Using Paypal in the shop is easy..
after choosing the amount of TP you wish to buy (and clicking on buy)
you have the yellow button "Check out with Paypal" at the bottom of the next window.
Click the button, log in into your paypal account in the next window,
allow the payment et voila, the transaction is complete.

It isn´t possible (yet?) however to directly pay with paypal for VIP-access.
Only indirectly by buying game time cards for ddo from shops where you can pay with paypal.
(you aren´t the only person who would like to pay for VIP directly via paypal; would it be posible,
I would already have upgraded my account from Premium to VIP)

Thankyou very much indeed - I did eventually manage to find this. And I need a verified paypal account, which is going to take at least a week or so to setup. Still, I can wait that long to buy adventure packs, it'll take me that long to get out of the starter area, the rate I'm going...

Would be better (for me) if EU debit cards were usable but I expect Turbine probably aren't allowed to make it easy for customers from another distributors area to circumvent them, which I do appreciate. I just hope Codemasters are paying attention to how much revenue they're missing out on by refusing to switch to the Free-ish 2 Play model.

Thank you Victorie. I must say, you're doing a stunning job of dealing with all us freeloader's asking questions. from my breif time on the forums I see your posts regularly, and they always seem to be professional. What's surprising is that as well as being professional they actually seem to be helpful too, which certain other mods on other game's forums (yes Blizzard, I'm looking at YOU) can't seem to manage.

Thanks again (and to everyone else who posted here)

Hello all,

I had a similar problem, which said that I had to have a verified PayPal a/c.
How can I verify my PayPal a/c?
I already have an existing PayPal a/c. Is it somthing to do on the PayPal website or on my DDO a/c?
Sorry for being noobish...

Thanks all.

You must have a banking account connected to the paypal account...
if this is the case, you get the option to verify your account which means that Paypal transfers a small amount of money to your banking account and back.
