Hi there,

I don't have a credit card. I always used my parent's card and gave them the money afterwards but I am kinda lazy and got really tired of that. So I opened a PayPal-acc, I verifierd my email-address, I registered my bankaccount and I verified my bankaccount (with the 4 digits in the paypal-transaction).

But I can't pay because everytime I try to, PayPal tells me I can't use direct debit and offers me to register a credit card. I don't know why. I looked to every single page in my PP-acc for some option to activate direct debit. There is one and it is activated. I guess at least.

There are a couple of Interplay games I have the hots for so I tried a few times every day the last week and one - only ONE - single time I could pay. I only had one game in my basket though, so I canceled, added the other games I want, proceeded to payment again and couldn't pay because at this time it was as back to no direct debit.

Is this common? Is it something GoG specific? Does anybody else have this problem? Am I just to stupid? :D

Try setting up direct bank transfers within Paypal. I can't remember what I did, but just trying googling for that.

Log into Paypal and clieck on 'Profile' then on to 'my money' and you will see 'bank accounts'. Just check to see if your account is correct

I did that. There is a banner right on the starting page that tells me to go add a bankaccount. I have done that as I said. When I click on the banner I get to another page where my bankaccount is listet with the status for direct bank transfer activated.

As mentioned I got the option to pay with direct debit payment once so all my data has to be correct somehow. It is correct. As I said, I verified my bankaccount via a code which PayPal transfered to my bankaccount.
