Seriously, fuck them. They've pissed me off to no end in the last week and a half since I've tried ordering from them with a pre-paid credit card that my parents got me for my birthday. There was some problem with the card, as EB was getting some kind of denied message for my card saying that they shouldn't go through with the transaction. Okay, maybe Key messed something up. I call them they say that same thing and that the money would be back on 8 days afterwards. Which would mean I could try again this Saturday. but their system is down for maintenance so I do it sunday.

On Saturday, when I knew the money was on my card, I ordered a controller from Amazon and there was no problem. On sunday, instead of calling, since I'm tired of calling all these people just to use my damn money, I sent them an e-mail asking them to try it again since I'm assured that the money is on their and that it should work this time. Also, I asked them to change the shipping back to free since I used SAVER codes for both orders.

I get a reply saying that my larger order was selected to ship with 3-day shipping, which it wasn't, so the code couldn't be applied. I have the damn printout saying otherwise. Then I get e-mails saying that there's something wrong with the orders, the same damn things I got the first time they didn't work. So, I just cancelled because I see no ending for this dispute and I decided to get out now.

I just called to check my balance on the card and thankfully they haven't taken money off and held it hostage for another 8 days, which is what happened on the first attempt.

Seriously, do they have some kind of problem with the Possibilities gift cards from Key? I've used my other card that I got for Christmas and BB, BestPrices.com, Gamefly, have had no problems. I've made sure that the billing address is right, and all the other info is correct. If you ask anyone in the OTT, I've been anxious about getting this stuff. So, I'm rightfully pissed that EB seems to not be able to take these cards for payment. So, what could be wrong?
 
Seems like the best course of action would be to get a real card and establish credit.

I had some problems with this sort of thing in the past (after waiting for a PS2 at launch ............ ) and the solution was just to pay a different way.
 
I do have a debit card, my parents get me that because I live out here while they're in Ohio. It's so I can still use it online and not have to put it on that card. My debit card is for my other expenses, such as gas, food, and other stuff. This is pretty much a credit card, so I don't know why EB has such a big fucking problem with the card when every other site I've used them on has had no problem at all.
 
[quote name='Kayden']Damn... how much money did they put on that card?[/quote]

Just $100, and only $65 would've gone to EB for some used stuff I wanted.

The Sony one? That's the one that I wanted from EB.

Yeah, but its the one for the PS2s with the built in IR recievers.

I think that includes mine, since I got it last August.
 
[quote name='JimmieMac']Maybe next time you should try paying with food stamps and seeing how that goes.[/quote]

I'll make sure to try those.
 
I don't get charged anything for using my debit card.

Also, I can't get a credit card, literally. I've even tried getting one with my mom's perfect credit behind mine and I was declined. You'd think they'd be eager to give a college kid a card, but no, they don't like me.

Same here. I've never gotten an extra charge for using my debit card online.

I don't think I get charged for using it anywhere.

I know I don't get charged when I used mine except for Del Taco which has some kinda of processing fee they charge...but that fee is listed and charged seperately by them.

Wonder why that is? My first one I just did it out of the blue and they accepted me on the spot. Only have three thus far, though, but it's good to keep your cards limited.

I usually get charged for using it in person. Of course, I usually just use it in gas stations where they don't take credit cards...

I don't know. I'm thinking the idiot never actually put my mom's crdit behind it, since it was supposed to go with the debit card.
