PAYPAL Option is gone !

[Hemipheistos]

Hi, i am from Austria (Vienna) and i was trying to buy a game as usual (Doom:Eternal) but for some reason the paypal option is gone which i used for years now.

Is this temporarily or permanent.

I mean i do not own a credit card because i do not need it at all.

Can anyone confirm ?

If this is permanent it will make it so much harder to get funds on my Steam-Account and buy stuff. I am not amused.

Addition:

Actually it makes it impossible for me to add funds directly from the client.
Cause it does not even support direct debit or anything else then Creditcards.
(i will not buy dozends of Steam-Cards.. NO!)

Gsus man.

Guess i have to buy Doom: Eternal on Bethesda Client ... AHHHH.... *facepalm* (or better not at all)

payment methods are always on a per-country basis.

ask your local friends otherwise that might take some time until some austrian stumbles over this thread

I am so confused... In the "Add payment option" there is no paypal etc. but when i do add funds there are more options incl. paypal.

Does this make sense ? Maybe i am just stupid.

What happens when you do the other option?

[Hemipheistos]

Yes exactly "What" ?!

Account -> Add a payment method to this account -> only 4 options (all credit card)
Account -> Add funds to your account -> a lot of options (including paypal, debit, etc.. everything one needs)

The reason because i had trouble is because on first try to make a transaction with paypal (which i did for several years now without problems) got refused.

Do option #2 and let us know.

:qr:

Well, i just was successful with the direct-debit option. *phew*
I thought i have to pass on Doom:Eternal, which will most likely safe me from boredoom in my lonely virus isolation times.

Good luck all of you. See you ingame maybe

that is for associated payment methods.

You have no payment methods associated with this account.
Add a payment method to this account

after payment methods are associated with the account, they will no longer trigger account restrictions, for community market and stuff.

only credit cards can be manually associated.

this is a completely unnecessary thing to do to buy stuff on Steam store

put crap in cart.
go checkout.
available purchase methods will be listed there.
done.

wuddih..

..thanks for clarifying that.

Can I add PayPal option if it’s (most probably) not available for my country?

No. If it is not an option, you can't make it one.

Add 5€ to your account with paypal.
Go to support and ask for repayment. it's automatic and easy.
You now have paypal linked to your account and you can buy other stuff.
works for me.

LOL i just noticed that they removed ideal also. Has that been longer. Cause i have no way of paying now anymore. So now, the slot says visa, in my billing screen.There is no option to leave it blank. I don't have visa or anything else. Not allowed.
