UnrealQuakie: I noticed a lot of people using these alt options that seem to always have issues with all sorts of sites but never try to use the accepted payment methods.
Paysafecard IS an accepted payment method and not some dubious "alt options that seem to always have issues with all sorts of sites". I'm using Paysafe for years already and never had any issues.
UnrealQuakie: Trust issues with major card companies? always wanted to know about it :P
Not a trust issue with card companies or banks, but a trust issue with security of some online shops. Remember when Blizzard got hacked? The hackers got the stored credit card data. Playstation Network? They stole CC data there too. People got hacked on Steam because of their stored details. With paysafe you don't have to worry about that.
Then there's the problem some people have with transaction fees. I don't have any transaction fees with my paysafecard.
These are the two main reasons why I prefer it over credit cards.
