I agree. A Visa/MC debit card is advertised as usable anywhere. This whole thing is weird. After I wrote a trouble ticket inquiring about my key, this is their response:
Paypal has not passed any payment to us, therefore we cannot deliver your order.
please check with Paypal and eventually reorder directly with your credit card, without using Paypal. Sorry for the inconvinience.
So after declining my card, they are telling me to use it. Here's what I wrote back:
I can't reorder using my credit card. You won't take it. You say it's blocked. I wrote to you about it and you never answered. So how can I get this product?
Their answer:
The answer is the same we gave you last time:
we do not accept debit cards, please use PayPal as with your last order
Why you didn't complete the PayPal transaction is out of our knowledge
They FINALLY told me they don't accept debit cards. However, according to the previous post, only some debit cards.
My final response:
1. It looked like the paypal transaction was completed.
and
2. You sent me a receipt so it seemed the deal was done.
3. If you don't accept debit cards, you should say so on your main page.
4. When I submitted my debit card, you should have said you don't accept them instead of just saying it was blocked.
5. You people are extremely rude.
Pete, if there's some other place or some other way I can order fsuipc for fs9, I will be pleased to do so. I am not going to do business with SimMarket.
