Does IGN's Direct2Drive.com not accept PayPal debit cards?

I tried purchasing the Spore Creature Creator download. I tried three different times using my physical card. Then I tried a few times with the PayPal temporary card creator (PayPal plugin). Every time it gets rejected.

Any ideas?

If I bought the game directly from EA it's like an extra $6.00 because of some protective download thing, thus costing more than purchasing the physical disc.

You may want to see if Paypal has posted any announcements that the cards are having some temporary issues. I have never had any issues using the card on other websites. Maybe the website you are trying to use instead of EA doesn't accept Paypal. Just a few suggestions.

I never usually have issues either. A few days ago I just used my card to reserve two games over at GameStop.

Oh well.

I get this

"We are unable to complete your purchase at this time. Your order has been temporarily placed on hold, pending additional verification.

So I contacted support, and got an automated reply about this topic

[quotec0c54ab6ef]Thank you for contacting Account Services at IGN. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We are a no-card-present mercantile and in order to protect your credit card must handle this responsibly.

1. First contact your bank to ensure your limit accommodates your purchase price. Also make sure that you and your bank match information. Should you have moved, you will want to update your mailing address. Banks decline your use of the card when the address does not match their records.
2. Are you traveling? Some restrictions apply to downloads. You may not be eligible in the country you are currently residing in regardless of your mailing address.
3. Are you the cardholder? It may be best to have the cardholder with you when using their card to ensure accuracy.

I responded and said for a support representative to contact me regarding the purchase, so we'll see what happens.

What kind of additional verification could they possibly need?!

I just bought it from EA. I didn't realize you can remove their extended download service from the cart. P

See the difference?
