You know Paypal doesn't have to be the only option. It can be one option. "Do you want to pay with a credit card or Paypal for this purchase?" Lots of sites do it. Given the option, I always use Paypal.

I disagree with the poster that says Paypal is not for big businesses. I think that Paypal should be part of the payment options repertoire for any business. It's not there for the business, but for the shopper. The charges are slightly higher yes, but then Paypal is doing all the international bank regulation stuff. At the moment PlayNC is doing this by having offices in different countries.

It will mean that Australians can buy things in dollars instead of pounds, (though I guess they would have to move to the American servers then) and that Portuguese people working in China can continue to use the European servers instead of learning to read Chinese.

Well with the numbers on the pole this would mean that:

sales would go up 29%
People will sell more with paypall then credit card

Numbers are made on pole only.

Still think it would be best that you can also use paypall for the shop.
Me myselfe dont have a credit card and i dont want a creditcard. So paypall is best option. Its easy, safe and more profitable for Anet cause they not need to print more books and CD's

Well last time I've checked here... I'd actually need a credit card to even add money on my paypal (used to be different :s)
So there would be no difference at all for me... if I had a credit card I could buy it anyway already (and use paypal), but since I don't I can't do either

I wish i could see this poll thought the day, from the slow trickle of "no! No! No!2 during american times and then see how it swings when the rest of the world gt online....

I for one am looking for any way to pay though the store..options for me are rather limited

Veripare · Jul 24, 2007, 05:19 AM // 05:19

I make a lot of online purchases and I use a PayPal account for everything that allows you to.

Actually I just bought the Guild Wars GOTY using a relative's credit card because there is no PayPal option. I'm quite sure that if NCsoft adds the PayPal option to the Online Store that there will be a big turn out of purchases, heck, I know I would buy one of those Skill packs the moment it was available to me!

Mystic Cobra · Jul 24, 2007, 05:33 AM // 05:33

Yes,I would use PayPal since I don't have a CC.I would buy more stuff because it would take directly my money in my bank account and not in a friend one and having to pay him after....

Bazompora · Jul 24, 2007, 07:29 AM // 07:29

Makes me wonder ... can't those NCSoft Time Cards (if I got the name correct), which are sold in major retail stores, be turned into credits for the Guild Wars Shop?

Paypal has changed a bit for us in europe, you dont need an CC card anymore, paypal can now be linked directly to your bank account, which means that if you buy something through paypal, your banks receives and automatic purchase receipt, and will withdraw the money directly from the account to the designated seller.

Atleast thats how i understand it, and with this news i want PAYPAL immidiatly into the gw store, cause damn i want that mission pack!!.

Cheers

I definitely would use my paypal since I have a credit card but I prefer to only use it for large purchases. I use Paypal for all of my online shopping and would even pre-order and purchase GWEN if that option becomes available.

grievous jedihunter · Aug 01, 2007, 02:33 AM // 02:33

I would not use paypal because i dont have a credit card nor do i have a checking account. what would be awesome would be gift cards for the store like wii points or the xbox market place points.

So, are you just guessing, or do you actually know how/where to link PayPal to your bank account?

Miss Presler is correct. This is true for people living in the Netherlands, don't know how it stands for the other countries. Read(Dutch)> http://tinyurl.com/2pl6oo

Thanks for confirming my post!

I voted "No, I would not use PayPal" I do have a PayPal account, but prefer to use my credit card when dealing with reputable (sp?) sources, and I feel that PlayNC is reputable.

britnie31 · Aug 20, 2007, 07:31 PM // 19:31

The reason i would Much prefer paypal is that i sell / buy things lots of times Via my paypal account. Thus the funds go directly to my paypal account . Now if i want to purchase from GW I am forced to transfer funds to my check card/ debit card / credit card , then wait three days to clear then i can purchase . Where as if paypal was allowed as an alternate option I would be more inclined to purchase Immediatly. Say for example a new char slot because right now i have around $ 18 un accounted for in my paypal account .

So would i Prefer paypal , yes
Would it be more convienient for me , yes
Will i still Buy from ANET without pay pal, Probably
Have i ever purchased from you online , No ... Why , bc you dont take paypal ...
hope that helps

WAit...... Was the question in the topic changed at some point?

The options of answers dont even makes sense .

Shakti · Aug 20, 2007, 08:14 PM // 20:14

No, I would not use PayPal. (Please explain)

While I do think Paypal should be an option for those who can't/don't want to use credit cards, personally I'd keep using mine as I have at the in game store. I do very much think there should be another option like Paypal for those who don't have a cc or live in countries where they aren't as prevelant.

Two April Mornings · Aug 20, 2007, 08:23 PM // 20:23

I would not use paypal.

Explain:

I prefer to use my credit card directly over my paypal account when possible.

In making this poll, it should be noted that there are many <18 yr old players that would rather use their paypal account (most likely linked to their parents credit card) which could cause a problem with the results.

Alfrond · Aug 20, 2007, 08:23 PM // 20:23

No, I would not use PayPal. (Please explain)

I suppose I could use PayPal, (I have before) but using a credit card is fine with me.
