Trying to buy subbie.

**rauchster** · 07-3-2008, 10:48 PM

I've been wanting to buy a subscription for a while now.
But Paypal seriously hates me.

I changed my password in March, and they listed my account as limited after that.
Gave me a whole bunch of steps to go through to verify it was me.
Did all the steps, and they told me to wait 24-48 hours and it'd be cleared.

It's July now, and the account is still limited.
I can't send or do anything through it.
And since my card is already registered to them, I can't bypass having the account, and just signing up for a new one.

In short, Paypal sucks.

Is there any other way of getting a subscription?

Buy a subbie for credits.

**makdaddy** · 07-3-2008, 10:57 PM

yeah, go to the store

**PlayTrumpet** · 07-3-2008, 11:03 PM

Have you tried closing your account on Paypal?

who_cares973 · 07-3-2008, 11:05 PM

it took 3 months before i was cleared on paypal -_-

**rauchster** · 07-3-2008, 11:17 PM

In answer to those:

I only have 53,000 credits total. and I like the songs at 40,000 and 30,000 unlocks.
Tried closing it - but they won't let you close it while it's limited. Also tried removing CC from account, same thing.
And I hear ya who_cares. I hear ya.... They are just horrible at customer support.

Anybody know of a way I can send money by CC through another service to FFR?

**rauchster** · 07-6-2008, 08:43 PM

Yeah - it's a bump
Yeah - it's cheap.
But I want to find out if there's any other way to get a subscription other than through PayPal.

I think you can send money orders though the mail.

**rauchster** · 07-6-2008, 08:58 PM

Sounds like a possible plan.

This is what you can do-

If you have a second Hotmail account, then use it to make another PayPal account. If not, go make another one.

Once you have that, just make a second account and add the credit card to your new account. You don't have to verify your account, just put the card on and go. :P Once you're done, it's your choice if you want to keep/delete the account.

i would contact PayPal customer support... but, unfortunately, i can tell you from personal experience, they won't do much. i had an issue where i owed a guy $1200 and sent it to him over PayPal. PayPal went and froze the transaction and my account, flagging it as potential fraud. Which, it clearly wasn't. Then i accidentially screwed up and entered the wrong phone number for the account (i didn't remember which # i had used, all those years ago...), so i wound up having to wait about a week to get a letter in the mail that had a code on it to fix it, and PayPal customer support wouldn't help me at all.

The dude i owed the cash to was PISSED... he thought i had frozen the transaction and was backing out on paying him, etc etc. Was not a pleasant week, trying to talk to him over the phone and assure him that i wasn't screwing him over.

wow, Tass, that kind of happened to me when i had to go through like 5 accounts since they keep going limited because they thought I was a fraud and stole an identity , which was me -_-, and now I fixed it and customer support didn't do or KNOW anything =_=. . .. .
