Cant buy the expansion with PayPal


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm having the same problem. I have tried to purchase the end of dragons expansion through the areanet website. Have tried both the credit card option and pay pal option but then nothing happens. No next button to confirm or continue. Please help! I have tried to purchase it in both chrome and microsoft ege. No error message appears or anything. Have no problems purchasing from other websites. Have put in a support ticket with screenshots but it's getting frustrating especially since their is less than a week to go.

Hi,

Ive tried to buy end of dragons for a month with PayPal but its not working. It keeps asking me for credit card info. I dont have a credit card, thats why i have paypal. I have no issues buying games from other places. How to fix this? 

 

PayPal asking for credit cards usually is the result of the seller requesting to store payment information for future purchases or subscriptions. PayPal cannot guarantee future payments to work to the seller when there is only a PayPal balance as it can reach 0. Only the seller (ArenaNet) can fix this by allowing one-time payments as they did in the past for the in-game store. So your best option is to contact support about this.

 

I also can no longer use PayPal in the in-game store after they changed payment provides for the same reason. I don't have a CC and ANet does not accept my PayPal balance without it.

In my case I can still use iDeal payments. So, contact support to see if they want to solve this. If not, try a different payment or buy the expansion via an authorized reseller.

Thanks for the answer! I thought that was the reason. The question is why they decided to be more strict about it now when they havent been before… 

 

Problem is they removed all re-sellers in my country some years ago because Anet wanted to be the main seller so people without a credit card is gonna have a difficult time buying any version of gw2 as of now.

I also purchased the collection for my 68yr aunt who loved the free game after a week and wanted EOD, I to purchased the game with my Paypal account for her, it says it was successful and got a confirmation email, but says there was a problem and the team has to investigate. That was on Thursday of last week, we created a support ticket and still no response.

 

Very disappointed with the customer service team, if there is even one??

Apparently the new payment processor requires it.

You should have received an automated response confirming the ticket was received. If not, check your spam/junk/etc folders. Tickets are generally answered within 3 days.

They have updated authorized retailers in the last year; have you checked recently?
