UberPirateNinja Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) I'm gonna do this today. One question I couldn't see answered above. I gotta use PayPal to pay in dollars, but I'm in the UK, so will there be any sort of conversion cost on top of the subscription cost? I don't really use PayPal much, so unsure of this sorta thing. Cheers! Edited March 31, 2013 by UberPirateNinja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obsolete XBA Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Okay i might be a bit daft but i was wondering how you change subscription, from bronze to silver in this case. Do i need to remove the subscription and set up a new or can i just update the payment at paypal? This is the first and only time i've used paypal and i think that site is a bit complicated. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance i think you will have to cancel your current payments via paypal, then re-subscribe as a silver subscriber. i don't think you can change it any other way. also, if you do this to upgrade your subscription, you may want to inform Mr. Creech of your intentions just in-case you lose your subscriber privileges.

Delta3519 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Almost ready to sub, just have to link PayPal with bank account and all set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double O Slevin Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Just set up to subscribe! YAY! I've been wanting to do it for years now, but the funds haven't always been there. But it's well worth the money, I honestly have no idea what i'd do without this site sometimes. Another motivator is the fact that I've wanted to change my forum name to what the rest of the gaming world knows me as, not what my current GT was 4 years ago!

Fullbrook Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I'm glad I found this forum, I was about to post about this somewhere else. So if I subscribe do I also get the donate award? Also if I do dose subscribing every month keep adding to the donate award? Never thought about that.. been a sub for a week or so.. I don't have any awards though.. If any update on my profile, you will get your answer I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaleido42 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I'm glad I found this forum, I was about to post about this somewhere else. So if I subscribe do I also get the donate award? Also if I do dose subscribing every month keep adding to the donate award? All subscription money counts towards the donation awards. So if you were to start subscribing right now you could get both a Subscriber award and the Donator Level 1 award. And donations are cumulative. As an example I've reached Donator Level 3 purely off of my subscription. Each month I continue to subscribe, and any possible future donations, would count towards me getting Donator Level 4. Got your name color changed which is manually changed but haven't got the automatic awards? Hmmm None of the site awards are automatic. They have to be requested: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=416292 The only automatic part is access to the subscriber board and custom user title.

Because i just have a prepaid credit card with no charged money I want only pay with my paypal account with direct debit procedure. this site only accepts payments through paypal, and to have recurring payments on your paypal account, you need to verify your card. sign into your paypal account, and just underneath the userbar, it should say 'welcome, then your name' in orange. just underneath this, there is 3 different options, one of which is 'status'. next to status, it should say 'verified'. if it doesn't you need to verify your account and then you can set recurring payments up and subscribe.

My account is verifed since years but i never needed a credit card. Even if i give paypal my prepaid credit card details, i only have the option to pay with this credit card but the card have no money on it and i dont want to charge it every month only for the $10 ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to transfer money from your bank account on the credit card. you only can use so much money as you transferred to your card. Like a prepaid handy. But i think you don't have something like that in the U.S. In germany it's nothing special. But i'm still confused because i can donate with my paypal account, but for the subscription i need a credit card. Really strange ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem ist that i only get the credit card as payment method. And i want to pay with paypal from my bank account, like always, and not from this credit card. Donation works without problems ...

troy0891 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 To clarify: It sounds like what you're saying is that when you click the donate link on our site, you are given the option of doing so via a paypal payment. BUT, when you click on the subscribe link on our website the only payment options we give you are via a credit card. You have a verified PayPal account that is tied directly to your bank account and a pre-paid credit card (yes, we have those in America too) but for whatever reason you are unable to use that same card directly through the site or simply don't want to use it preferring that PayPal take the money from your bank account. Bottom line - You want to subscribe using your valid PayPal account as your payment method and our site is not giving you the option. If this is all correct, then we need to get an Admin or at least a SuperMod to check in on this. I just checked and PayPal is the only payment I'm presented with when I click on subscribe and select a subscription level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
