Thank you for adding this payment option, it will allow youths and people which usually don't do international purchases to buy games here. Be aware that users from Germany are currently not allowed to use more than one Paysafecard (due to money laundry regulations, iirc) and so have to send remaining money from the card to theirs bank accounts.

But I have a question about the payment price: Some competitors (e.g. GOG without the O) charge an additional fee for using Paysafecard (e.g. 5%). Will you also do that or not? I can't see any indication for an additional fee at checkout.

For other people interested: Paysafecard charges 2.00% as fee for a purchase if the currency is dollar (like on GOG) and the Paysafecard is in euro.

From what i heard GOG pays the fees for paypal. so that might happen in this case too.

Handling fees, not conversion fees. The 2% mentioned by The-Business seems like a conversion fee to me.

nijuu: Never heard of it :D
im not surprised considering its a europe thing :P

think of a gift card only its not linked to any particular brand. its allows people to pay for things safely online by paying the vouchers in cash at most shops.

also im a big pay safe user so thanks for this feature. you have earned yourself a potential customer :P

Neat! Good timing with Christmas right around the corner so people can use any stocking stuffers of that nature.

I remember there was some thread with a dude whining (or being furiously angry?) about something like this. Hopefully this means plans are in the works for buckets more games to buy.

Well done.

And yet the only reason I know of this is because of the online community asking for it in payments sometimes. Otherwise, never heard of it :)

Nice Addition. Will stick to paypal though

Yes! So it's like a pre-paid visa gift card you buy at let's say supermarkets. Eases the mind in terms of financial security. Thank you GOG! I say this even though I don't live in Europe. So is this just a European payment method? Thanks for explaining!

I remember looking for a Paysafecard awhile ago and it was like searching for a needle in a galaxy.

No, the card is also available through many US-based retailers. You can locate an outlet near your location here.
