So, you're voting against PayPal by not purchasing a product from BuzzerBeater? I don't think it will work

Well it is buzzerbeater that has chosen a provider that requires an account to make a payment. There are plenty of alternatives, but you have chosen PayPal. Probably you have chosen this provider because you think they give you a better product, so that's of course up to you. Just as it is up to me to decide if I want to use that service or not.

According to PayPal's own statement on this page, (https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/cps/gener...) not requiring an account gives a total of "on average a 9% higher total payment volume". Most people that don't pay well just choose not to pay and don't say anything. I prefer to communicate why I don't pay with the, possibly naive, hope that I can get a change.

And we do appreciate your communication. I'm sorry if I was rude before, it's the stress

It's true, we chose PayPal. I guess it was and still is the most widespread platform for payment on the net, but I may be wrong. That's certainly the reasoning behind the choice. Also, it does allow payment without registration for most people, but it doesn't for you, which sucks.

However, there are alternatives which *should* work for you. Already mentioned PayByCash and SuperRewards. Is there any reason you don't want to use those?

No problem.

As fgar as I understand they all require some kind of account in ordr to be able to pay. Correct me if Iäm wrong.As soon as their is a normal card payment available I will pay, but if there isn't I won't. It's a simple as that.

Did you try?

Go to http://www.buzzerbeater.com/store/superrewards.aspx, click on "credit card" and buy as many Supporter points as needed using your card. That should do it. Unless they too have different rules for Sweden (hopefully not).

The only two that seem to be available from Sweden are Paypal and Pay by Ca$h. Both Super Rewards and Supersonic Ads are disabled on (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/store/buysupporter.aspx).

Try the link I provided. They are disabled because you don't have enough Supporter points. Once you do, they will become available.

Yay, not that that was intuitive, but it worked! Thanks!
