Starting a PayPal account (or anything, actually) with a Debit Card sounds incredibly stupid and dangerous. Sounds to me as if, as long as you keep away from this practice, you should be fine. I've been ebaying for three years now with my Credit Card hooked up to PayPal and not had a single problem in around 2-3 dozen transactions for each of those years. Postage is another matter.....

A question, Mark. What was the intention for the "No" vote - not to be considered (since No applies to all those who have Plus as well as those who have not yet got Plus but can do so and those who do not want Plus)? To gauge how many of us frequent this forum? It just seems a little strange. Surely if there's some critical absolute number who want the non-PayPal option it will be looked into, regardless of how many No votes there are?Comment

I know that I don't trust paypal enough to open an account. This year someone else paid for me, but in future years if I could pay through more conventional methods there would be a better chance of me retaining my subscription.Comment

But what do you mean by 'conventional methods', DrS? Credit cards or PayPal would be the only way to go, as far as I could see, until such a time as Poly had operatives in most regions able to accept the money from chequees or direct credit. And that would be a LONG way off, if it ever happened.Originally posted by DrSpike

It would be nice to have a direct payment method as opposed to going through a third party. Installing this mechanism would also open the door for being able to purchase things directly from the site (anyone interested in a hardly used Greek artillery piece?
)

I've just had an epiphany!
I was just looking through the threads and noticed that apolyton appears to be selling its stuff now via the amazon umbrella. Amazon accepts credit cards. Why not just sell yearly subscriptions via the same mechanism?We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

idea for the "paypal haters"!
how about an overpriced apolyton store product?
- select a product you like
- contact us
- we'll make a special version of the product, priced propely to include the cost of the PLUS subscription(and minus our store profit) of your desire and send you the link
- once the order is complete, mail us again to activate your PLUS subscription!
you could do it with something as cheap as a bumper sticker
or the new $9.99 t-shirts

Then whats the amazon/apolyton store thread about?
Oh I think I understand, if I go to amazon via poly you get some financial benefit.It`s simple: we give you or friend of yours a free month of ApolytonPLUS for every purchase you make from:
- The Apolyton Store
- The Amazon stores in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France and Germany
Details here
Btw, we've got some new $9.99 t-shirts!
I buy bagfulls of stuff from amazon (I have an amazon CC as well) but have never gone via poly.
I dont understand this, the poly store is via cafeexpress which accepts CC. Why isnt there simply a new button on the poly store to buy a yearly subscription ? It's a product of sorts.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

cause cafepress is into selling products, not doing CC parsing. but we're overcoming it, see my post aboveI dont understand this, the poly store is via cafeexpress which accepts CC. Why isnt there simply a new button on the poly store to buy a yearly subscription ? It's a product of sorts.

Shameless Mark... I suppose you could promote it as a 'free' Poly-themed gift for subscribers. 
As long as people don't mind paying a little extra (that also goes towards supporting Poly IIRC) that's a neat little idea.
Who says army life kills creative thinking?
And DrS - ah, OK. If a non-PayPal CC option is all you want then great. Sounds easy enough.Comment

Well to clarify, I already have the subscription, so it's not immediately relevant. However since Mark asked about it I replied.Originally posted by MrWhereItsAt
