Open PayPal, hit either Send or Pay and Get Paid, and type in the above address. Don't go through the SIM at all right now!Hope Bentley wrote: ↑10 months ago I have yet to be able to do it via any way..
PayPal is making it a real hard to figure out.. I can pay for other online things via pay pal though

Re: Trouble buying game points
Oh no, I just went through the SIM and it worked perfectly. Did I f*** something up?

Re: Trouble buying game points
On one hand, I’m glad I’m not the only one having trouble. On the other, it’s frustrating as all get out.
Got it, thanks Emily!

Re: Trouble buying game points

PayPal said I had to verify myself but then made it impossible to get done .. but then minutes later I can use pay pal to make a different purchase elsewhere I have contacted them no word yet

Re: Trouble buying game points
Please include the browser and device you used when reporting success or trouble. It is very confusing since we didn’t change anything and it still works for some people. Thsbk and thanks for your patience.

Successful transaction using:
Chrome Version 114.0.5735.133 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Also, when using PayPal, I do not use an account or sign in, I simply choose pay with credit/debit card and bypass the sign-in.

I opened a support ticket with PayPal and was told that the merchant wasn't accepting the payment and so it was getting 'stuck'.The Steward wrote: ↑10 months ago Hey all, I was just able to do a PayPal purchase to myself (weird) with no trouble; any chance it's working now?
This is from Paypal:
As checked the transaction details I could see that the order is pending with merchant. Merchant needs to accept the payment and process your order. If merchant will not accept the order in 72 hours of time, PayPal will automatically void the pending authorization within 72 hours of placing the pre-authorization hold. Funds will not be taken from your card if the PayPal transaction was not completed.
In this case as the order was not completed the authorization will be automatically cancelled on 25th June and the funds which is on hold with your card issuer will be reverted to your account. Be assure, that I have also forwarded the request to reverse the funds back to your card.
It may take 3-5 business days for the funds to reflect on your card statement.
Re: Trouble buying game points
I did a test run again today for five bucks. When I hit the complete purchase button in the PayPal checkout page, nothing happens.
I'm on my ancient desktop computer (Windows 10 Home) using Google Chrome 114.0.5735.135.
I had no issues paying the Steward directly yesterday.

Re: Trouble buying game points
Thanks, everybody for your patience. It seems clear that PayPal had a problem (which they didn't admit) and that they fixed it. I certainly didn't change anything on our end. I have the worst internet I've ever had in my life - worse than dial-up. So I couldn't troubleshoot this at all. I suggest that everyone wanting to purchase game points return to doing it the normal, in-sim way. Let us know if the problem returns.

The Admin: I'm on an amazing vacation and trying to be on the SIM at the same time and the internet doesn't work in the ocean for some reason, but it works now.

Re: Trouble buying game points
Not working for me still. Sent via the fix. Not sure how it will be tied to my sim account as it's a different email.
