Ok so I was doing some investigating. And I came up with a "pre-paid" solution. I was wondering if anyone has tried this and could verify if it works or not..

I'm not sure if the policy is still true. But, I saw on a paypal community page that it is possible to add prepaid credit cards to your paypal account. And making a purchase via paypal it would instantly deduct the money from the prepaid card.

So, in this idea, I should be able to.....

1. Buy Prepaid Credit Card

2. Set up PayPal account with "Prepaid Credit Card" attached to the account for payments.

3. Purchase GOG games via PayPal payment

Good idea? Yes? No?

I gave this as a possible solution to someone having these problems who posted yesterday.

This should work just fine.

Well just want to let you and everyone else know. I picked up a prepaid MyVanilla MasterCard and it worked perfectly without issue. I managed to get my Elder Scrolls games as well as the Doom and Quake games. It should be noted however that I do live in the US and I'm not sure how or if it would work elsewhere.

I tried this once and it didn't work. I guess I used the wrong prepaid card?
