Shady Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) Hi, is there a possible way to pay with something else than kredit card or bitcoin? (I read the thread about paypal) I dont own a kredit card. My friends only have kredit cards with region lock, Germany or Europe only (they told me, dont know if this is true). I tried to look into bitcoin but wasn able to find someone who is selling me bitcoins worth 20$. Since Arcade Maximus doesnt fit my needs, Launchbox does, but i need BigBox and want to support this (ofcourse because i need it xD). Maybe someone could help me.

DOS76 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Maybe Jason could help you out some how but I don't know what you can do. Don't they have pre-paid credit cards you can get without region lock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shady Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 They have, But the banks i asked wanted up to 50€ fee for the prepaid version and that would be too much for me cause i wouldnt need the (pre paid) kredit card anywhere else :/.

DOS76 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) damn they are $5 dollars here and available in every convenience, drugstore and major retail chain in America although I don't know if those allow international transactions or not. Ours are also throw aways use them once and dispose of them when they are empty. Edited August 22, 2016 by DOS76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Hi Shady, my apologies for the trouble there. I'm finding that it's very difficult to find a good option to use in this scenario; as of yet I'm not really aware of a feasible option for people without credit cards outside of the US, sadly. Bitcoin should work but I'm not an expert on how it all works, other than I do know that you would need to purchase a partial bitcoin in order to get $20 worth. My apologies, I'm still researching to try and find a better solution. Let me know if you know of anything and I'll see if there's a way for us to implement it.

Shady Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hi, thanks for your reply. I looked into bitcoin. Most of them are sold for about 400-500€ and more. Some of my friends are using paysafe. I used it once, so i dont know anything about it, if its safe or not (Is it even available in the us?) I will lookout for anything whats possible here in Germany. Maybe i will find something with a good amount of luck :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Yeah, I've tried looking into paysafe before, but at least my initial efforts weren't successful because I'm in the US. I'm not 100% sure if it's possible either way yet, though. It just wasn't going to be a quick process to set up and wasn't really very clear.

Happo85 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Bank transfer IBAN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Sadly the US doesn't use IBAN so I don't have a good way of handling that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinobot Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 This sucks. I was ready to buy the it gave me ony the option to fill in a credit card number or use crimi-coins , now i have to wait for an other way to get Big Box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinobot Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Never mind, got me a credit card. I think the problem is that you don't sell anything else but the Launchbox program. If you'd also sell arcade parts and such you could be seen as a more legit company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Beau Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Oh no! I was ready to spend my money on some Big Box goodness, but I don't have a credit card or bitcoins. Who can help me out here? I do have PayPal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately PayPal is not I option, they refuse to work with launchbox as they are narrow mildly associating emulation with piracy and refuse to work with us. Jason has looked into other options but it is difficult some are US only so that's a issue. The only thing I could suggest at the moment is find a friend or family member with a credit card, give them the cash and get them to purchase in your name. Sorry I couldn't help you more.

J.Beau Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Thanks for your reply neil9000. I understand now. I don't know anyone with a credit card, so I'm going to try the bitcoins route. To be continued! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, bear in mind that, that currency fluctuates greatly, what may be enough for a purchase when you start the process may not be enough by the time the payment process is completed a minute later. Also I thought you said you didn't have bitcoins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Beau Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I just opened a wallet, bought some bitcoins and bought a Forever-Updates License... then the page crashed and now I'm left with nothing. Luckily I made some screenshots along the way... Can you help me with this neil9000? Or do I have to wait for an email? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 @J.Beau If the transaction doesn't go through then Stripe will send you an email to get you your money back. Not sure what might have happened but it might be better to use a desktop computer if the phone was locking up. Sorry for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Beau Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hey Jason! Was using my phone, because the Wi-Fi here is a little unstable. I'll keep an eye on my email. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Beau Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 So, I got it back... but because of the currency fluctuations neil9000 warned me about, it's not worth $50,- anymore Just transferred another $5,- to my bitcoin wallet. It's going to take a few hours, so I hope it will be enough by the time it arrives! To be continued... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
