"You're Got a Lure I Can't Deny..."

Dear Livejournal,

On the subject of your e-mail to me about my paid account expiring: it would be easier for this not to happen if you accepted Paypal accounts backed with a bank account instead of a credit card. Just sayin'.

Ennui,

Didn't Paypal make the bank account thing their default?

idk, but I don't have credit cards, so my Paypal is all nice and set up with my bank account, and AMAZON.COM LIKES IT FINE, LIVEJOURNAL, but apparently that's not okay.

Really? I just -- oh wait, that was Dreamwidth. Why should LJ care how Paypal gets your money?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Believe me, it is a mystery.

[dame_grise]

I'd open a support request and see if they can tell you what's what.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

That might be a little more proactive than I'm prepared to be right now, but it's a good idea!

[dame_grise]

They may know a workaround. Even with Dreamwidth I had to initiate by saying I wanted to pay by credit card (which is authenticated through Paypal on DW) and then cancel that and enter my account normally. I wish I could remember all the steps. I was sort of annoyed but it worked in the end.

XD You're so sensible. Thank you! It's good advice.

[dame_grise]

Remember, they want your money. If it's possible, they'll find a way for you to give it to them.

Good point.
