Hello, when I try to buy the Premium service, and I select the methode PayPal, it still says I need a credit card like VISA or Master-Card. I don't have them. Is it possible to do a standard PayPal order? 'cause I like to have this premium service.

Regards. Murdock.

Whenever you want to sign up for a subscription service (such as the Premium Service) using your Pay Pal account, Pay Pal requires that you have a validated credit/debit card on file. Without that, Pay Pal won't let you use your account for any subscription (recurring charge) service. We are the same way. Almost all web sites require a valid credit/debit card in order to sign up for a subscription service.

The alternative would be to get a pre-paid debit card. Those can usually be purchased as almost any Wal-Mart or Walgreens or places such as that.

but keep in mind that if pay pal finds out you are using a prepaid debit or credit card they may limit your account they do not condone use of prepaid cards but that may just be for verifying

i had premium service without a credit card on file with paypal but i am a Premier account holder maybe that has something to do with it

That's a good point. I know that Pay Pal also likes a verified checking account. I do not know if you have only that (a verified checking account) if Pay Pal will allow you to subscribe to any service.

Ok, I've read this only some bad things, I don't think they sell it here, and a verified account? I tried but I can't.

For most subscriptions services from almost any website, you need to have some type of debit/credit card on file.

Can't I make a deal or something with a normal PayPal transaction? I'd really like to have this.

Murdock: Its not that we don't want to help you, it is just that our software programming is set up in a particular way in terms of accepting payments. I would suggest that you purchase a pre-paid debit/credit card from some place like Wal-Mart or Walgreens and use that to set up your subscription service. There are also "virtual" pre-paid debit cards you can obtain on the Internet.

Good luck!

I tried it but I had no succes, do I also need a credit card to pay for 3 Months?

Yes, you do. Even just for 3 months, it is considered a subscription service and a valid debit/credit card would be necessary.

Really, I asked almost everyone I know and they don't have VISA or MasterCard sad.gif
I really like to buy this, without permium service Hide-my-ip is just like a trial sad.gif

I paid for Hide my IP and now I even can't buy premium service?

Nearly all web-based subscription services that I am aware of do require a debit or credit card on file to activate the service. You may want to consider obtaining a pre-paid debit card at WalMart (Green Dot) or similar place.
