Will we before this timespan ends, be able to make an online purchase without the need of having a cc? The official wiki notes payment by sms, and their was a poll about paypal. But this all has become very silent.
Gaile any news on this?

Still hoping for Paypal as well, but seeing as they only mention SMS in the official Wiki, I wouldn't be surprised if Paypal won't happen. Oh well, as long as the SMS option goes through.

But yes, another Dutchy who would like to know the status on this

You do know that you can get a prepaid Visa card, put however much money you want on it, and use it in the online store right?

mr_groovy · Sep 07, 2007, 10:02 PM // 22:02

U do know that in holland we don't have prepaid visa cards

wetsparks · Sep 07, 2007, 10:34 PM // 22:34

Seeing how I can't even point Holland/Netherlands out on map, my guess would be, no.

Does this say something about your or does it about Holland?

Anyway, in America it is custom to have 1-4 creditcards and there plenty of people that have debts on them because of the ease creditcard companys distribute them. I'm not saying paying with creditcards for GW stuff is stupid, just paying everything with creditcards is, since you cashflow gets very non-transparent.
Anet is an america-situated company with america-based business models. But their customers are world-wide, so you have to be adapted to cultural differences worldwide. I guess we dutch people are more sober and prefer payment through direct means. Therefor, in Holland we have several (better) alternatives to Paypal, which have been in continous development by our banks.

Anyway, if you're running a company and your customers are worldwide, you have to know all the different markets or you wont be selling much. Creditcards arent used that much outside of america, as in america itself.
