What online games stores accept PayPal?

Just wondering...what online games stores accept PayPal as the payment method?

I know Lik-Sang does, but are there any others?
 
all of them do with paypal's virtual debit card.
I've even found that sites that ask for cvv2 code will accept any numbers in that field, as paypal doesn't give you any with their virtual card.

I thought paypal dropped the virtual debit card... link? Sure would have come in handy a bit back...

EDIT:

Crap I found out...grrrr.

It's not intuitive to find it anymore... from the main page choose "Withdraw", then on the next page you can do the "Shop online with a PayPal virtual card" link....

I haven't been to the withdraw page in eons... there should just be a shop link on the front page IMO..
 
the link to this service has been on the Withdraw page since I've been using it, which is about 2 years. You have to navigate to the site you want to buy from after clicking through from the withdraw page, then a smaller window comes up under the main window with your card info.

As a guy with a PayPal account but no credit card, this sounded pretty convenient. Until I started reading the further information in their Help Center.

Am I qualified for the PayPal Debit Bar?

The PayPal Debit Bar is available to users who:

* Have a Domestic PayPal account
* Are Verified (have added and confirmed a bank account)
* Have added a credit card whose monthly statement is sent to a physical street address (not a P.O. Box)
* Have a positive balance in their PayPal account
* Have a PayPal account in good standing (as determined by the Account Review Department)

So I'd need a credit card anyway.

I guess it must be US-only then, because I don't see such a link in my Paypal UK account :(
 
You can even get them to mail you a card. Im in Canada, and mine has that cvv2 number or whatever its called. It is accepted anywhere Mastercard is. Oh, and it's really shiny :)

I used to use my PayPal card before I had any credit. Now its too much of a hassle to make sure money is in my PayPal account to buy things. That, and, I spend an incredible amount of money, and they lock up your card everything there is anything remotely suspicious on your purchases. They don't inform you either.. you get CC declined... look like a fool... and then call them up and get them to unlock the card. I pay like $1,500 a month in bandwidth, and used to use my PayPal card to pay for it. I had to unlock the card every freaking time. Not to mention, support was terrible.

But, for small purchases, I never had problems.
 
Personally I do instant bank transfer with a CC as a backup. If you know someone that trust you with a CC you can easilly do that with no problems even if you don't own the CC yourself.
