PayPal payment not possible at the DragonBox Shop at the moment

[EvilDragon]

PayPal doesn't like Everdrives - and therefore, PayPal payment is not possible at the moment.

Sadly, that also affects the Pandoras. I offered them to disable PayPal payments only for the Everdrives, but they want them removed completely - which, of course, is something I won't do.

Well, it's not OMG, I still offer enough other payment methods. Credit Card should be fine for mostly everyone as well.

But yes, I own the domain everdrive.de, so I might setup a shop there which uses the same customer details and accounts but offers only Everdrives (without PayPal payment).

They really are an absolutely reprehensible company. :angry:

"I've checked that with a lawyer before, and Everdrives are legal (as they only exist for systems, where there manufacturer doesn't do any hard- and software repairs anymore), but PayPal is not okay with that."

their there their there their there their there their there their there their there their there their there their there their there their there their there their there their there.

I approve of this statement^

Paypal really was a great service at a time, but now the power has gone way to their heads. They now do the craziest most unexplainable shit on the planet.

Well, I can partly understand them.

They don't want to get involved with illegal stuff, which is perfectly understandable, and they're extra careful.

However, the solution I provided (disable PayPal for Everdrives) would've been a good one in my opinion.

But I guess the reason they don't want that is because it's not good for their image.

A shop offering items and only some are payable via PayPal sounds like it's their fault (which it is )

But a shop not offering PayPal at all sounds like it's the shops' fault.

They want to keep a good image but don't want to be involved in illegal stuff.

At least I'm glad I bought my Everdrive at the right time.

They also talked me into buying something I didn't need recently with a $20 off deal that didn't work, and aren't responding to complaints.

I am somewhat surprised it took them this long to do this.  I know paypal and ebay in some countries don't allow flash carts, but I thought maybe they were ok with it in Germany.  I am pretty sure this comes down to them trying to cover their ass in case Nintendo, Sega, etc. try to take legal action against them.  I understand it, but I don't agree with it.  I can still buy other stuff that can be used for criminal activity using paypal.

Everdrives are something completely different from Flashcards.

 

[rygD]

Maybe, but the purpose is similar.

This is PayPal we're talking about here, they're not going to check things like that.

You're talking about PayPal here. They believe anything is anything but the thing that's the truth.
