hi i used to use steam and i like GoG a lot. I have a visa debit prepaid card and steam currency and i have a paypal account.

I have over 300$ and i see a lot of good games i want to buy. HOW do i got about buying games with my american USD $

i wanted to transfer funs into paypal but it ask for SSN and it's only 4 digits (i have a 9 digit SSN) i also tried to transfer and send money but i am having trouble.

GoG looks great and i really want to spend a lot of money but i am having trouble with these transactions. Can anyone help me ?

Welcome to GOG.

Can't you use your visa card directly?

it's a prepaid card. I would have to use a bank card to pay for games with GoG. I know GoG is a legitimate company - you Euro people are very nice and beautiful - My prepaid card doesn't work for transactions outside America or Canada.

Yes I hate steam, America is very greedy. I will try to get a business credit card to buy games, but I have to read their policies on international transactions.

I would use paypal but asking for my SS# is very weird and crazy, I don't want identity thief.

Any ways thanks friend I wish you only good things. The reason I don't have a bank account is because I am mentally ill (I have a mind sickness) and they don't let handle large amounts of money. So I will have to figure something out.

Take care.

Can't you just add the card to Paypal, without actually transfering money to your PP account? Paypal will mask your card and subtract the money automatically.

If it's a standard debit card like Visa Electron then it is. Otherwise he has to try, as I have no idea.

I don't remember PayPal asking for my SSN. Are you maybe typing it in as "www.paypal.ru"?

Joking, and yet not joking.

Not sure how the gOg Wallet works, but maybe you can dump money straight into that from your card.

Should be the last four numbers.
