For the OP, surely a call to the bank and a support ticket to GoG would have been more effective than coming on to the forums and winding up the userbase?

That does seem to be a pretty common reaction doesn't it? Like you said, mostly all it does it get people in a frenzy which is good during an orgy but not in here.

If you suggest that a debit card may be a cause because GOG supports only credit cards (common with American stores :(), I used to pay with a debit one and didn't have any problem.
Rivetman, a call to your bank seems to be a long-term problem solver. At least based on threads made by users who had to deal with it. However Paypal is confusing. It shouldn't refuse the payment. Maybe GOG's bank has outages and trying it later?

I had trouble buying a game on GOG. I know it's because my bank has a problem with GOG's geographic location and that I can easily correct this problem by contacting my bank and authorizing it, but I don't want to go to that much "trouble." That said, I *am* going to the trouble off going onto the forums and complaining about it, but don't bother trying to help me because I don't really want help. I just want to tell you that I'm not buying something. Nyah, nyah!
There was someone just the other day posting on the forums with the same attitude regarding making a small adjustment to a game he purchased to get it to run properly. People kept trying to help him, but he really just wanted to come to the forums to complain because the game didn't work "out of the box" and that he wasn't going to go to the "trouble" to make any adjustments to make it work. "Blah, blah, Steam isn't like this, blah blah."
Strange people coming around, very strange.
-- And I am not going to contact my bank every time i make a game purchase. You dont have problems buying games here, I get it...but I do.

-- What are you...10 years old? My OP was basically asking for help / advice...not mealy-mouth BS from people like you.
" Strange people coming around, very strange"
-- Such as you?
I can understand the idea that sometimes when you want something, you want it then and there with no "hassles." But yeah, I agree that being presented with a solution and then saying "Nope, not going to do that" kinda takes away the right to complain about it.
And if Fraud Protection called and asked you about it, what happened there? Couldn't you have "cleared it up" at that point and had them authorize the purchase? Just asking out of curiosity, not trying to be snippy.

In America pretty much all banks are shitty. Some are just less shitty than others. I think the only sane thing to do is to do most of your banking at credit unions.

The ol' coffee can isn't a bad idea either. The custom is to joke about that but I've met a lot of very wealthy people that go by that principle. They are all egotistical paranoid assholes but they are rich egotistical paranoid assholes.
