I thought I knew what I wanted, but now I'm not sure, found a good deal on the UT games someplace else (through a friend) and now I'm not interested in most $9.99 games.
Any chance this can be expanded to Jan 1st? I know that's asking a lot, however this would make an excellent Christmas/New Year gift. :)

Stiler: Umm, you do know that in order to buy something via paypal you don't have to transfer funds from your bank account to paypal right?
If you have 0.00 in your paypal funds, but have your back acacount tied to it, you can still pay via paypal and it will simply transfer the funds by itself and instantly pay.

chautemoc: Are you sure? Cause I've tried to pay with less than the amount before and it says I need a credit card tied to it, which I'm not really into. This happened with GOG anyway, said something about requiring it. Not sure if every site is like that or not.
Also, who the hell is downrating my posts about a legitimate concern? This place is really weird...

Yes, you should be able to pay for it instantly, as long as you have the money in your bank account to cover it that is, and it's set to your main funding source/first one.
As far as credit cards go, you should be able to get a debit card from your bank which is tied to your checking account aad it works the same as a credit card and can be used in place of them online/in stores, etc.
Heh, this'd make me pick up UT99+2k4 if I hadn't already ordered it from a relatively shady local webshop. That one's going down fairly odd, though, considering that the order has been in the "processed" state for a week or two now, and Unreal Anthology no longer shows up in the list of their products. Customer support is also dead silent. Good thing I didn't have to pay in advance, at least.

Look at it this way: if it doesn't last until Jan 1st, maybe they have some other promotion in mind for Christmas/New Year.

I LIKE that way of looking at it ;)
By the way, you from Hungry? I lived there for a year when I was five. I loved it. Budapest was filled with lion statues, it seemed to me.

Actually, to do an instant payment from your bank account, Paypal still requires you to have a credit card attached to your account as a backup funding source. The reason for this is that Paypal is not able to instantly take money out of your bank account, since there's no online equivalent to Interac.
Just like using e-cheques or the standard sending money to Paypal method, it takes time for online bank account transactions to take place. Paypal can't even immediately find out if you even have the funds to pay for whatever you're getting. So, their solution is to use your credit card as collateral in case you don't have enough on your bank account. It's only considered "instant", because of the convenience of allowing you to get something now with funds that will be getting to them later. Not enough on your bank account, and they just charge your credit card instead. No credit card, no "instant" payments allowed.

Ah yes that's what I'd thought.
Perhaps I can get one of them pseudo-credit cards and add it to my Paypal account and that will do the job.

prolly not
Jagged alliance 2
Disciples 2
and the smell of fuel - flatout :)
regarding paypal, if you want to add credit(debet) card to your paypal acc, then you have to your own card, they will withdraw small amount from it, and by code from this transaction you will activate it, then they return you this withdrawal (2 dollars in my case)
BTW - credit cards are specifics of USA no ? I am used to debet cards :) actualy I do not know anyone who is using credit card.
Got the following via this deal:
Jagged Alliance 2
Disciples 2
Original War
I need to put a GOG.com section in my spreedsheet/budget. I have a feeling I'll be buying a lot more games from this company. :)
