Back at the end of january i wanted to buy credits to post up a template for auction. I wanted to pay for the credits using my Paypal account and guess what?, i got a cool error message saying the system could not process my credit card(pretty hilarious considering that i selected Paypal as a payment method).

Back then i sent them a mail and check out the reply i got:

Hi

There may have been a problem with Paypal on that day or with your Paypal account - you could try another credit card with them - or you can order direct from us using a credit card.

Kind Regards,

Then i tried again, got the same error message so i abandoned my idea of buying credits, but now that i want to start monetizing my blog a listing there could get me some extra cash.

Same story as in January: i want to buy credits using Paypal:

eventually i get a “sexy” error message:

So this is clearly the opposite of what Nonie Donald said. I tired this yesterday and today also and faced the same issue.

In the reply to my email Nonie suggested that i directly purchase from them using my credit card. HELL NO! That’s not why i got a Paypal account. I got my Paypal account to minimize the use of my Credit Card on the internet.

If they don’t want to fix the issue its their problem, but trust me on this, till they don’t get the issue fixed i won’t buy any credits(not that its a big loss to them, but i don’t think i’m the only one feeling this way)
