<div class="IPBDescription">to help young people in Europe</div> I want to join in Constellation, but it is very difficult because <b>I don't have a credit card</b>.
<b>Please add Share-It as a payment option.</b>
This is very common phrase for youngsters in Europe. I live in Europe too. Anyway my point is that most of europeian people do not live for credit, they pay bills and try to avoid unneccessary payments like too high intrest rates and so on.
So I tried to join constellation (once again), but failed since it seemed way too difficult to join trough Pay Pal. Why?
<ul>
<li>young people can't have credit cards
<li>people without steady income can't have credit card
</ul>
But young people can make bank transfers!
To support good development team I did pay lifetime ASE licence trough Share-It.
<b>I hope I can pay Constellation membership</b> too. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
I just want to know if development team could add new payment option, please?

Right, like everyones parents will think giving away money to a game is a good way to spend your money... lol. Ofcourse we all know its good, I just find it hard that too many parents would want their kids to give away their money to a development team.
There seem to be a lot of people who want to contribute but can't because of their difficulties with PayPal.
Perhaps the issue is to be rich enough and live without credit.
I just hate idea of paying someone (visa) for nothing. All they give me is more expenses.
You know it isn't free to own a credit card. It has monthly or annual fees.
My bank card doesn't cost anything. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Let me put it in figures:
If I'd get a Visa with 1000? credit. I have to pay for that 2.5% each year to have visa.
So I'd pay 25? for nothing. I'd rather donate that to Constellation than to Visa company. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
/me goes register @ paypal
edit: hmm nope, my debit card isn't accepted. Gogo french cards :o
Maybe it is just finnish system, paying that 2.5% annual fee.
I don't have visa, but few friends of mine do (at the work).
And with big credit limits annual fee is quite high.
I can't get any credit cards, bank accounts, etc. because the house we moved into about a year ago was blacklisted. FUN!

One word to say to that...pathetic. That is such a low blow to a person...If you would have read the original post you would have seen that he was too young. Its pretty insulting to tell someone how to run their own lives you know..
As for the cards, I don't know how it works elsewhere...but cards in the uk sometimes do have annual fees, but other times don't. As well as an interest free period..so you can use it and not be charged anything...fuun fun fun.

Read the forums and be afraid...very afraid. I really hope that Flayra takes all the money out of his Constellation account every day and also leaves the bank account that it is tied to empty.
Can someone tell me the minimun I have to pay in canadian dollars. I dont want my parents to go crazy
btw after I pay through paypal, do I send an email right after?
2.1 is not coming out tonight.
well <b>Maybe</b>
Really? And you know this because you have never had a problem with them yourself? If you read the forums, you will quickly see that most people felt the same as you <b>until</b> they got burned.
For example:

Like you, I once believed in Pay Pal. What a great concept. Then I found this site (paypalsucks.com) and read dozens of posts and said to myself, "Ah - that will never happen to me." Then one day, it did. I still have no idea why - but it did.
Some of us just have to make mistakes on our own before we learn. I respect your decision to raise your own kids. For their sake, make sure you have a backup plan... Just in case. And always be prepared to lose whatever money you have "on loan" to Pay Pal. My best advice: transfer daily.

Don't assume that just because you haven't had problems yet, that you won't have them eventually. Live in ignorance if you like, it's not my money you are gambling with.
No my parents surely don't wanna transfer money to US.
And just for interest. Whats a debit card? I don't know it. Is it Visa or what?
It works exactly like a credit card in every other way though. Swipe it through the scanner at stores, or type in the number on the front (and back) online.
Paypal does accept visa Electron, and you can get an electron card from about 14 16 i think (in the uk at least)

Email constellation@natural-selection.org for an address to mail to. When you mail your check/money order include your email and steamid on the memo line, along with your real name printed out somewheres. You could even put it on a seperate peice of paper. Just a note that a check or money order takes a few days so it could take up to 6 days to a week for it to mail and then clear.

Do you just makenoise like your opinion matters? Look what he said:
<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->people without steady income can't have credit card<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I assumed this meant that he can't make enough money to pay off a credit card.
Meaning his credit rating sucks.
Meaning he's spendng more then he has.
In which case, why on EARTH would he consider donationg $20 a priority?
Gee I'm sorry I took an economics class, and I'm sorry I assumed that by lacking a steady income he meant he couldn't afford the credit card.
let me clear a few things up for you.
LEGALLY, ANY person in the United Kingdom under the age of 18 can't get credit anywhere. It's impossible. I don't know wether or not this is true for the rest of europe, but i assume it is similar.
He states this - he actually says:
<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->young people can't have credit cards<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
He also states that people without a steady income can't have credit cards - which is perfectly true.
<b>He is a 'young person'. he probably doesn't have a job. this means he doesn't have a steady income.</b>
That means he can't get a credit card. Not because he has bad credit - he probably doesn't even HAVE a credit rating at this point.
Get your facts straight before you flame, or for gods sake, at least read through the initial post several times to make sure you understand it.

My parents would have let me give my money away if I really wanted todo that, and I think I would if I ever become a parent. Allowing children to spend money in the way they wish lets them to become who they want to become, for instance...
Me and my sister were both given about £4k from our grandparents to either learn to drive or go towards uni, or whatever, it just had to be worthwhile. I decided not to learn to drive and use it for uni (i'm at university now, 5 weeks in and im bloody tired), anyway my sister (who is 15 months younger than me) has decided that she wants to use the money to learn to drive, now these decisions were affected by who we are and will affect who we become.
There are many other examples from my younger life, but with much smaller sums of money, and while its been a battle sometimes in the end my parents have always let me do as I wish with my own money, they have still advised me with how they think I should spend it, but in the end the decision has been mine.
Show me ONE PLACE where I started flaming.
