We have stopped accepting Account Upgrades payments with Google Wallet. Google is ending this service in March, but, they have started to automatically charge European players taxes on their payments. You may not already know this, but 20% of any Account Upgrade payment already goes in UK VAT (sales tax) but it is included in the price. Google Wallet is not giving us the option to remove this and its unfair to our European players and a headache for us to pay taxes twice!

Paypal payments will now give the 10% extra credit that we used to give with Google. We will work hard to improve Paypal payments later this week and all European players who have paid for AU credits with Google since January 1st, I will manually credit the "taxes" you were charged by Google as AU Credits to your account. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I've had a Paypal account for over 15 years and never had a problem with them. Transactions were fast and secure. I used them a lot because I was a seller on ebay for many years and Paypal was always the preferred method of payment. Thank you for adding the 10% to Paypal, that is a nice added bonus!

Gennie, now you can purchase on PayPal as a "Guest" instead of having a paypal account. My customers use that option all the time. So, there is nothing to stop you from using PayPal to pay for anything.

Also when I have used PayPal, my transaction is processed before I can get back to Marapets. They are processing really quick for the past months.

I'm not an EU player, but I've been getting charged tax separately for my credit purchases from Google Wallet for months now. Shows up on my bank statement as "INTERNATIONAL PURCHASE TRANSACTION FEE" Is this similar to the VAT you're talking about?

I loved how instant it was though. My paypal payments never go through on their own, which means I have to wait 48 hours and then mail a staff member.
