Paying via Paypal Account [ Edited ]

[syahirahn]

Hi, I have a few question --

I don't have any credit/debit cards. Can I buy it without debit/credit cards? The only I have is Paypal (no link to other credit/debit card) with a few money which is enough to buy 1/2 The Sims 4 DLC from Origin.

When I check my Paypal account, my Paypal balance : RM120.00 MYR / 30-34USD.

And then I pick/choose the games I want like this : http://prntscr.com/81esys and http://prntscr.com/81et37 I click both orange button.

After that, I choose Paypal for payment and it goes to - http://prntscr.com/81ev6x

I don't have any credit/debit cards, how to link without a cards? 

I have enough money inside of Paypal account to buy this DLC pack, the only reason I can't buy is -- because of this "link" things.

Help me. Do you guys know how to fix this thing? Help me.

How is that link supposed to help with the problem of Origin no longer accepting payments using a PayPal Balance? 

The option is theoretically still available, but Origin won't let me select it. The moment I move my mouse after ticking the relevant box, it automatically ticks the other one, and working around this by using tap still leaves me facing the screen where I'm asked to enter credit/debit card data.

Could you please fix this, as I have been trying to buy DA the Descent for about a week now.

Accepted solution????? what solution???? a link to generic rules about payment??? Shame on you EA. Instead of wasting time trying to make it all look shinny to whoever enters, how about actually trying to fix things or be honest about it?

I have a PaylPal account for years, always used it to buy stuff in Origin, without having a credit card associated to my payupal account. After all, the whole purpose of using paypal was to avoid placing my credit card info online. 

Bought Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Dead Space 3 with it no problems. Even had the paypal account chosen as predifined payment option , didn't even had to input my password anymore, Origin would already had all the info saved. All i had to do was choose paypal option in payments, and that was that. 
Until now. 
Now, as usual, i decided to buy a game, in this case Star Wars: Battlefront. 
All normal, check-out, choose paypal, it processes the request and asks me to add credit card information??? WTF. 

Support ZERO answers to countless topics on this topic. At least none better than providing a stupid link to a generic listing of rules about payment. 

All I'll say is, even if this gets fixed, I'm so annoyed that I won't even buy Battlefront anymore. You can keep ot. Seems you like it more than money.

Hi,

You will need to have a debit or credit card linked to your (PayPal) account to make a purchase. There are no other methods available at the moment.

[legion5462]

ok. Is it possible for a friend to buy the game on origin for me so i can use the code and download the game ?

[Straatford87]

@legion5462

Short answer: no.

This is because when you buy a game on Origin it will automatically be redeemed on your account. This means that a friend won't be able to transfer the game or code to you since it will be tied to his own account.
