I don't have a creditcard and searched all over the place how to pay but for everything I need a creditcard. Search on paypall but I need a creditcard if your from the Netherlands. Is there anybody who knows how to do that? Or anybody from the Netherlands who knows how to do that? Ang

When Checking Out, there is an option box "pay by check" it think it says, just check that and it will tally your purchase. Copy the info on the page into an order form (I use MSWord) and mail it to the provided address. I'm not sure but think they only accept US currency? tip: the confermation e-mail you get is easier to copy/past an order form from.

How do you pay? Can you use Money Orders from the bank, I think some overseas call them "International Money Orders"? Most US businesses won't accept cash, too risky for the consumer.

Tried that but my bank said they need a ID from Renderosity or another store and a account number and they don't give that

I don't know then. Here when we purchase a Money Order it's blank and we fill it in like a check... Try e-mailing the MP, but you may have to wait till Monday for a response

email the admin or ask in the forum news, or IM one of the mods and I'm sure they will guide you.

Ang, money order or check would be too expensive, at least from germany it is. I've asked my bank about that sometime ago and they said the additional fee you would have to pay would be too high. Two years ago as I purchased DragonFactory I put the money in an evelope and sent it to the company that was doing all the payment stuff for Bloodsong and it arrived without problem. Got the CD ten days later. Purchased SuperBladePro the same way. But acutally sending money isn't the best option at all.

For that I decided longer ago to get a Visa Card. One of that cards WITHOUT the credit option. I only wanted the easy pay concept for ebusiness. Thomas

It's a bit awkward, but.. Do you know anybody with a credit card? I had to rely on friends and family when I started out buying things. Awkward, but it worked. But I had to get a Visa when I became a merchant. Got my money on Paypal and couldn't verify my account without it :o/ Silly. I thought the idea of Paypal was to give people without a creditcard an option, but... that's only for usanians ;o)

THere are pre-paid cards that you can purchase, I believe, but I don't know if that option's available in the Netherlands. I would think so, given the increasing globalization.

Yeah, I had to order a creditcard only for this hobby of mine too...:) There is in the end no way around it, I think. At some point I just couldn't ask and rely on friends and family to buy for me anymore. (My circle of aquaintances seemed to shrink rapidly LOL)
