Paypal payment issue, please help.

[gn0rp]

Hey^^ I'm trying to add 25 Euro's on my account through paypal, i have my bank linked and verified to it, and the email is verified too. Whenever i end up at the payment page it asks me to add a credit card? I haven't had this issue until yesterday.

Help very much appreciated, thanks!

The payment method system have changed to be regional nowadays due to currency differences. Majority of european countries are no longer allowed to use Paypal as payment method sadly.

^This.

I suggest checking what other bank transfer it offer for your country at the checkout page on Steam, and try using that instead, or use credit card, or get Steam card from your local retail, or if you have those local kiosk you can pay at as an option for check out on Steam that work too.

PayPal will not let you set up a billing agreement with with Direct Bank transfer anymore. You can make single payments via your bank account but you need a card to set up a billing agreement.

Buying games works, but abonnements do not?

Because of the way Steam works, and the fact it's always trying to set up a billing agreement whenever you use PayPal, there's no way to buy from Steam using a PayPal direct bank transfer.

You just get "Your bank account can't be used for this payment. To complete your purchase, please add a debit or credit card."

What is the procedure now without adding a credit card?
And what purchases are affected?

Didnt read anything about that.
