Paypal payment option removed from UAE Store.

[HeyApple]

I used to purchase games with US Dollars from steam by using Paypal, till a couple of days ago Steam introduced the AED currency from my country but removed Paypal payment option. Would It be possible to let us buy games with Paypal again?

Stupid steam thought it would be a good idea to remove PayPal and add ♥♥♥♥♥♥ CashU that nobody uses.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ A.

They Fixed something that wasn't broken :/
That's just sad.

Yep. Not only have they removed PayPal but also charging more on the games. And UAE cards are failing to get purchases done, so apparently not even tested if it works.

I raised a ticket with them on this and here is the other part, Fallou 4 is 59.99 USD, but when you are purchasing in the UAE, they are charging 299 Dirhams -> 82 USD. For those that don't know there is no VAT, tax here, so can't be the tax. They're probably punishing UAE for some reason? What's the rationale behind this.

Are you guys sure? They still list PayPal as a payment method here.

That's the general FAQ, if you're in the UAE, try purchasing a new game, PayPal will not be listed.

This is absolute bull. If they don't revert these stupid changes I'm going to have to stop buying from Steam.

The prices for quite a few games are 1-3$ cheaper than the regular US store, but a whole host of games can't be purchased because the devs haven't changed the price to AED.

I tried purchasing Fallout 4 digitally elsewhere, and you guessed it right, Steam is the only option. If anyone knows of a different digital store to buy the game from, please tell.

Hats off to steam , they've managed to annoy people from a specific country.

you purchase a game, add key on steam and then download the game from your library. try greenmangaming, or humblebundle
with change of currency they also region locked you, which means you cant gift outside.

You're spending the same amount of money, what's annoying is they removed PayPal and added a retarded service called CashU.
