Welcome to Gaia! ::

I've been trying all week to add Gaia Cash and one letter to my account, by using paypal. But yet every time I get an error sign. It's starting to piss me off greatly. I know there are funds still on my card, i checked and I have more then enough like 15 dollars extra.

What error message do you receive? If you have already spent more than $200.00 US from that account with Paypal in the last 30 days, you must wait for some of the earlier transactions to age off before Paypal will authorize more charges.

Yeah, i was getting this same issue.

Unfortunately, it looks like paypal are being.. well.. i'm not going to say here, but basically you have to log in to paypal and complete the transaction through your paypal account, using the CC as a backup payment option.

That's pretty much the only way you're going to get cc payments to go through at the moment.

Edit: for chocobo princess - i'm not sure if iChoumaru is having the same thing, but after you enter your details for the cc purchase on the paypal screen and click the orange "review payment" button, it would take you to a paypal "page not found" screen, where it will give you the option to retry or go back. Going back will change the screen from a credit card payment screen, to a 'create a paypal account' screen, with an option to create an account using the same details entered before.
I keep getting this;

"Hey! It looks like something went wrong. According to our records, "You have exceeded the maximum allowed payment of $42.50 USD.". Unfortunately, this means you will need to change your order so you can finish your payment with Paypal. If you don't want to use Paypal, you can click on "Change Payment" and choose another payment option. You can also opt for a Mail In donation and send cash, check, or money order."

This is my first order with this account. My other account Choumaru Nakirami was wrongfully banned. Also my current order is 42.50 but I even try to low it all the way to 2.50 as the total and still that.

If I'm not mistaken there's a limit on how much a new Account/first time spenders on an Account can spend, which is $42.50.

That's your limit the first ever time you order from Gaia. Is this your first time using paypal to order stuff?

Once you reach your max limit, you can't order any more until next month. Then your max is $200 USD. Nothing you can do until then.
