So paysafecard's been lying about being able to get these in the US?

That's messed up...

If I were you, I'd find a bank that gives you a free debit card that has a Visa/MasterCard symbol and with no maintenance fees attached. Then, just keep a low balance so you have the ability to use it for online purchases and other emergencies.

If for some reason the debit card does not work on the Gog site, or you end up getting charged foreign transaction fees from using it on Gog, then I would suggest using Paypal's site. You don't have to set up an account with Paypal. Just use your debit card via Gog's pay with Paypal option. When redirected to Paypal, you can opt not to sign in/create an account.

Sure...if you like the prepaid card company slowly eating away at your funds. (But, then again, I don't have much experience with those other than rebate redemption cards.)

As long as it has a Visa/MasterCard symbol it should work (either directly with Gog, or with Paypal in the way I had described previously.) Do note, that you may incur foreign transaction fees.

FYI, GOG's payments are processed in Cyprus. Many prepaid gift cards only work if the charge is processed in the US. Be sure to read the fine print.

Right... but what happens if you process a credit card payment through Paypal (without using or registering for a Paypal account)? Is this processed through Paypal USA?

[Move along. Nothing to see here.]

Is it possible to navigate ones way through the Paypal process without using or registering an account? I failed the one time I partially looked at it while browsing around on another site.

Depends on how Paypal implements it, but I imagine it works. Worst case making an account and adding funds from the card does.

If you process a payment through Paypal without setting up an account, are charges applied?

PayPal levies fees on the seller and not the buyer. Account or no account it would be GoG who foots the bill for Paypals fees.

1- Yes, they not only lie, they also give you a map on their page that gives false locations to where they "sell" the credit option. As in, you type in your locale and they show a bunch of places that don't actually have it. I spent an entire day finding this out. Called a dozen other places and not one place had it. Out of like 20 on their map. I figured...screw this, I have better stuff to do.

2-DON'T USE PRE-PAID CARDS! Even when it says you can use it internationally. They DO. NOT. WORK! Sadly they flatout lie to customers as well. I even called Visa regarding one new card that I used physically in a store(that worked so I didn't lose the cash). The women stated, you have to sign up with they and activate the card. THEN they will send you a legit card in the mail to use on line. Which is defeating the entire point, no?

So I say...isn't that false advertising? She said, yes technically it is, but they get away with it because nobody is watching them. I was like...wow....honestly? Whats that? lol I thanked her and spent the card in real stores. Kinda pisses people off that GOG staff has no interest in accommodating their customers.

Well shoot. Looks like I'm screwed then. :( Thank you for all the replies though everyone!

I'm in the same shoes you are in right now. The hard part is finding a place in the USA near you that sells Paysafecards... I hate this fucking BS. Why do the fucking gift cards in the USA force you to only purchase from stores in the USA? It's BS. It's like there is conspiracy against stores outside of the USA.

At this point, my only way of getting GOG games are in giveaways, or maybe someone will trade GOG games for Steam games.

Other than that, I'm screwed.

Supposedly, not allowing international purchases "fights fraud." Yeah right. Just like DRM "fights piracy."

You could buy Steam games and then trade them for GOGs. But having to go through that whole process is a pain in the ass.
