Hi, this request is very pratical indeed, what i want is a easier way to brought Beamdog products.

To buy the pre-order i had to stay 1hour in my bank today scheduling the use of international functions of my credit card, i already spoke with my account manager and there gonna be additional fees over the purchase based on dollar variance.

Can't Beamdog negotiate a representative brazilian bank to make the sales here? Or open an legal entity to open a top domain .br to make those sells? Even if cost more that could allow many others means of pay, as direct debit, bank bill and others.

I believe that in fact many ppl here would like this for their respective countries. I say this cos, if i have to spend 1 hour to make international purchases or pay a huge tax for each micro purchase i make i will just give up any purchase that's not a game itself (no DLCs).

    My credit card wasn't getting accepted, so I created a Paypal account and made the purchase. Whole process only took a few minutes. I recommend it if you like things easy.

    kamuizin/ you've been (to be honest) beating around the bush. That's what paypals are for..

    That is main reason we added Paypal as an option.

    I'm in Egypt, PayPal wouldn't even work here. Luckily I'll be using the Mac app store and iTunes store, works perfectly, and no extra fees. :)

    My bank allows me to make temporary debit cards for use in online shopping.

    Paypal is the only option for me too. And I´ll create an account for BGEE and BG2EE alone no doubt very soon.

    Paypal? *shudders*

    And that's not all. Paypal is also known for removing accounts if they consider those accounts breach their policy. One day, Paypal decided that 18+ sites aren't part of their policy, and revoked all accounts related to 18+ sites. Guess where the money on those accounts ended up.

    Stay clear of Paypal if you can.

    Same issue here with credit card (UK), don't want to have to open/manage a PayPal account (additional potential attack vector)

    @John_boy It used to be the case that you could make a payment using paypal without making a paypal account, has this changed? (I have no problem with paypal and it is used by loads of companies)
