Nope. Paypal has been the only option for quite a while now.

Yeah, but at you had another option at the launch of the website, right?

Why'd you get rid of that? :/

The problem is, I added my card to a Paypal account I made ages ago, and I remember I made a specific email on Gmail for Paypal, but I forgot what the email is.

I've tried to retrieve the email, but it wants some personal information, which is alright, apart from phonenumber. I'm sure I used my old cellphone number back then, and I can't remember what it was.

I can't add my card to a new Paypal account, since it's added to the old one, and Paypal support can't do anything about it.

So I'd have to get a brand new card, which is a bit much really, since I don't really use Paypal at all.

Did you save your old cellphone number somewhere? Or better yet, did you save the email? I usually note this stuff down on my own mobile, I can be pretty forgetful. :P

Anyway, good luck with that, maybe you can sort something out with ZPS? Offer to pay via something else and see how they respond. ^_^

No, I haven't saved the cellphone number anywhere, we're talking a few years back here.

And as mentioned, I forgot the name of the email that I created for the only purpose of using Paypal.

No worries though, I'll figure something out.

That's weird. Your icon should show up? I think it's a bug.

I'm pretty sure the time varies as the purchase needs to be confirmed... but I notice mine shows for at least me. Only got one at the moment, but I figure one a month or so doesn't seem so bad.
