PayByCash/PayPal suck

Its going to take 11 days before PayByCash get my money! I have just under 2 hours left.

It's generally best to email us about this sort of thing. PayByCash is what it is, we accept the tradeoffs for the benefits. I've fronted you a couple of free days in the meantime.

I believe it's also possible to use PayPal to generate a temporary VISA type number, which you could use with our (faster) internal credit-card billing system. I don't know if/how this works, though.

i use paybycash all the time.. if you link it to your bank account (after the first use) it seems to make payments in the same day for future payments.

Wow, thanks incarnate, that's really really nice/incredible. Also thanks for the info, I'll do that in future.

you'll find the devs here are more human and alive than those of other companies

Also they tend to be amazed that we are even here in the first place

God bless the devs

P.S to Devs: Interest on capship owed to me 4 years ago has accumulated to 3 Assault cruisers 2 teradons 1 Trident and an entire AI fighter wing. Love CrazySpence ;)

yes they devs are so alive that you can poke them with a stick and they would react to it. :D

I've looked in a lot of places and can't find the email address, what is it?

Or if this is easier: If I do as incarnate suggested now, when paypal add the month will it add on or start fresh?

EDIT: Ok, I should have checked first, but it seems paypal wouldn't be any good, so I am going to PayPoint, but my question still stands: will be subscription start again at 30 or become 30+whatever else is remaining?

The address is the last line of the Billing FAQ:

"If you have addition payment-related questions, you can contact us via billing@guildsoftware.com

it's 30+whatever IIRC

Purchases of time are always additive on top of whatever you still have left.

PayPal have taken my money, but aren't saying they have. My bank shows paypal have taken the money, but on the paypal site it says uncleared.

iirc, Tercka, that simply means guild soft hasnt "cashed the check" from paypal yet.. but I could be wrong on that.. been a while since I've used paypal, since most places I care about giving money to all take credit cards :)

No its paypal to blame, they are holding on to the money to make money from it, which if fair enough as they need to make money some how. I wish I had a credit card.

well, most banks give free visa check cards with checking accounts.. at least here in the US..

it's basically an ATM card that pretends to be a VISA card to the machine.

I'm in the UK, and I don't have a chequing account, I don't think they are even available here, not sure though. Just a few days remaining :D

Just a bit of terminology , a checking account (USA) is equivalent to a current account (UK) .

You have to be 18 in the UK to get a credit card , but a cheque garuntee ( debit card ) card ( maestro , cirrus , switch ) should be available with any current account .
