Yeah my membership money would have been in about a month ago if paypal
was any good. I signed up for a paypal account just days after it went
international and went through the whole process of verifying my credit
card and it worked excellent. Then when I signed up for Lugnet approx
month ago I tried to pay by paypal and it gave me an error "sorry, we
could not verify your credit card - please register another". Well this
pi**ed me off pretty good so I tried deleting the card and then
re-adding it but when I did paypal told me (and still tells me) that
"this credit card cannot be used with paypal - please register another
card". Well I don't have another card to register so basically I can't
use paypal anymore (which is why I curse them up and down and do not
recommend them to anyone now).
