Guild Wars 2

I don’t have a credit card, nor do I want one. I top up my paypal account via bank transfer/debit card. I topped up the account with €50, but in the BLTC it still asks for a CC.
Is there any way I can use Paypal without having to link a CC?

No Paypal requires you to link a bank account for direct payment or for you to link a credit card. How else are you going to pay? If you don’t want to use a credit card then you’re screwed. I used a bank debit card

I didn’t have to link a CC to use Paypal to get gems. I’m in US, so I wonder if there’s a difference because of that.

I just chose Paypal as method, filled in name and address, and then it opened up my web browser to Paypal login. I logged in, chose pay from paypal balance, and completed transaction. There was never any mention of a credit card.

Ah, I had to validate my debit card or something like that.
Problem solved!
