I just found out from my bank's operations center that they refuse to even allow me to greenlight purchases from gog.com because it's based in Cyprus and they've blacklisted the entire place. I find it both tragic and distrubing to learn this about GOG since I love purchasing older titles from them (especially when they have large sales like the one going on now) but due to them being located in a high fraud area it simply can't be done.
I don't have any credit cards (because i don't want the possibility of charging more money than I actually have) and I havn't used paypal for a very long time as it started to become less convenient to use and they kept pushing their bank account linking feature so I don't really have a way to continue to do business with GOG. I remember reading somewhere after I heard about this that the payments are processed somewhere else so I can't help but wonder why that isn't listed as the country the money is going to. It seems like it would solve a lot of problems.
Anyway, thanks for your great service GOG. Hopefully I can find a way to deal with this billing problem because your site is by far the best place i've found to get older games.
