Mind, I'm no longer playing FFXI but I was adding crysta for XIV (that doesn't change) when I saw Square Enix Accounts now has a Paypal option.

Proof Pic. Square Enix ID colored out to protect my privacy.

I haven't tried Paypal since my debit card works just fine, but this should be really good news if it is what I think it is!

If you have a functioning debit card that works for payments, why on earth would you go through a company like PayPal that has a reputation for finding any small reason to close your account and keep all your money?

I'm keeping my account closed because they wanted me to fax them my drivers license or have a permanent ground line they can call me on. Cell phone was unacceptable. I don't have a ground line.

I used to use Paypal a lot for ebay too.

If you only use it to make payments to other people, exactly what money are they going to keep?

Also, they've had this for at least a couple months now.

I have never heard of this so-called reputation. I prefer paypal because it's easy, it's secure and it works. My debit card is hit and miss.

Perg; I don't worry about me. My debit card is fine and works nicely. I had at least 2 people on my FFXI friendlist who got piiiiiisssssseeeeedddddd because Playspan went away. (While I was still playing, of course) And they lost some folks b/c of the loss of playspan b/c that was the only way they could pay.

Also I didn't SEE it until I finally went to add crysta this month. Didn't even see a notice about them adding paypal. But for those of you that need it, there it is. I'm still using my debit card tho b/c I've never had a problem with my visa check card from my credit union.

Google "paypal seizing funds" there are far more than I could possibly link here. This one has a nice, straight-forward explanation though if you'd rather skip the ranting and raving: http://money.howstuffworks.com/paypal7.htm

Sorry to hear about your debit card being hit-or-miss, it's very unfortunate if this is your only option. I guess I've just been lucky with my debit card because I've never had an issue in 12 years.

Lots of websites don't work with my online debit card, so yeah. Also I need to have it with me because of the security code - when if I want to paypal - I can resub like this instant if I want versus having to dig it out (actually not even sure where it is at the moment)

*shrugs* my debit card did end up working with SE but I prefer paypal.
