Alternative way to pay for PRO?

pokapola

These are the problems I'm facing right now :

1. My debit cards from two different banks were declined, when I have not facing any problems making online purchase from other online stores. Don't know how why or what is the problem.
2. Paypal. In order to top up my paypal balance, only one bank is supported, which I don't have account with. To add to this, the bank requirement is complicated, which is why I didn't open account with that particular bank.

Maybe, just maybe, these problems occurs because I am living in Malaysia where the market (from GS perspective) is very very small.

I am very interested in purchasing my first pro subscription (probably for one-month to start), and I am just wondering if anyone else here had experienced this problem, and contacted GS for solutions. (I have sent a ticket for GS explaining my problems and asking for alternative). What are the possible solutions because I think I have read somewhere in the forum about 'manually' pay for the PRO?

I am really eager to subscribe for the PRO, I really need an alternative(s) to pay for the PRO.

I feel you. Can you buy paypal prepaid cards in your country? If so, top up using USD rather then MYR, just to prevent any other complications:)

@Approw I don't think the prepaid cards exist here

Have you tried just linking one of your debit cards to paypal ? That way when you have no paypal balance money is just debited from your account exactly as if you had used the debit card to pay.

@tmann I have already had my two debit cards linked to my paypal account, and it was declined as well.

After a week of trying, now I'm a PRO!!

I would like to thank @dgackey for your replies and your help, thanks bro!

And for those (especially in Malaysia) who are experiencing problems with your payments, make sure your address in your billing info is exactly the same with what you are entering in the billing info for GS (you know all the first line second line address).

Now I can update my game

@pokapola you're quite welcome and sorry it was such a runaround! Online payment systems are always a balance between convenience and security, and it seems that getting the address check right is the key.
