I don't pay anything, my parents do lol.
But they said they prefer PayPal because it has more security.

Yes, i would use Paypal if it was an option.

would have bought most of the game that way if it would have been an option before, and would buy char slots now if i could.

I like Paypal, its secure and buying is pretty speedy for the most part. But, some people might find it a hassle with setting up an account etc. But its very secure imo.

I prefer using a credit card and would only use PayPal if I wasn't completely sure about the vendor or site.

I have a credit card but prefer to pay through PayPal.

But, basically, PayPal option should be added simply because it can open doors for other type of buyers. As of this writing, over 50% wants to have a PayPal option in some forms, and adding the option means a more considerable income for ANET. You can't just ignore the +50% buyers.

I do have a credit card and a Paypal account, but I would still use my credit card as my payment method over Paypal.

This is because I use my Visa Checkcard, so essentially it'd be the same payment source regardless.

I would not use PayPal.

I make most of my purchases (for anything) online, and I am not a fan of PayPal. I've used PayPal countless times in the past and I have been a victim of fraud when using them. They state that all transactions are insured up to $200 but this is an outright lie. If you fall victim to any sort of fraud when dealing with PayPal - no matter how small the transaction - they are a pain to work with and you may never see your lost money again.

I have used my credit card online many times, and I have also used Google Checkout many times. I've never had any problems with either of those methods. I've closed my PayPal account and I do not by any means plan on opening a new one.

My two cents.

Oh yes!

Since paypal is used almost everywhere, why not in the GW Shop?

I voted no. I don't enter and important information suach as c.c. numbers on my p.c. ever. I would like to see everything that is sold in the Guild Wars online store, sold in retail stores. I would buy a lot of upgrades including character slots if they were sold in retail stores.

I purchased all my GW except the first one (GW Prophecy) from plaync using my credit card.

I never used paypal in any of my online purchases because when I tried to register in the past, it said that there is no paypal in our country (Philippines) [or something like that].

I never had a hardtime using credit card in plaync so i guess i'll settle for that. Looking forward to buying GW2 in plaync also.

I would not use PayPal. Explain?

I prefer to buy stuff at an actual game store so I get the physical product. Hence I haven't been able to buy PvP skill unlocks or extra character slots.

No. I would not use paypal.

I would not use paypall because I haven't had any problems using a credit card online (yet) and the cost factor behind it damages any bit of interest I might have

Paypal is fine for people buying stuff, but it offers zero security to the merchants that use it to accept payments. It might be convenient for you to buy something with it, but I would never accept payments through it, and wouldn't expect any company to do so either. If you are wondering why, just type paypal and chargeback into google.

Don't want to have additional accounts anywhere - if an international credit card can't cut it,- then I'm not buying!

I do not own a credit card, as I am probably one of a few people who play who do not have a lot in the way of funds, or the means to actually get a credit card. I use my debit card for most online payments, but GW does not support my debit card, so PayPal would be the only real viable option.

I use PayPal to pay monthly for my website for similar reasons and have always found the service to be safe and reliable, and they do not charge me anything extra to transfer the funds from my debit card to the company I'm paying.

I have often wished GW used PayPal. Not being able to use the online store limits my ability to play the game how I wish, and in the long run...causes ANET to lose out on a few extra bucks
