Hello, I am trying to buy the entire interplay set of 32 titles for $34.99 but have a problem during checkout. I typed my info correctly entirely and yet it said the transaction failed. Which country does the server run in (want to know if my bank has blocked transactions to that country) and is there a way to know if your bank blocks transactions to a set country. I live in Australia BTW. thanks

GOG is registered in Cyprus, which is something that more than a few banks have issues with.

As far as I know, GOG's money transactions go through the UK. However, the company is incorporated in Cyprus for business reasons, and some banks automatically block anything having to do with Cyprus, because it is apparently a hotbed ot credit card fraud scams. I do assure you that GOG is perfectly legit, but your bank may be blocking the transaction through some sort of automatic filter for those reasons.

You might want to ask your bank about it.

Edit: Ninja'd!

Also re-check your card, GOG's system is sensitive. I have to put a space in my last name I never usually use.

nope, my last name is 1 word, just like on steam

I don't think any of the major Aussie banks are blocking GOG payments (Westpac works for me). Do you bank with some other financial institution? Have you bought games from GOG before?

My advice is to contact your bank and/or GOG support to work it out.

Also you could try Paypal. I'm sure you can pay through Paypal without a Paypal account.

ok, thanks for the advice, hopefully I get it resolved before the interplay sale ends.

Get a Paypal account, and you won't be having these problems anymore :)
