Guild Wars 2

i have decided to purchase some stuff from the store. i have followed the steps it wants me to take and as soon i click on the “proceed to paypal”, it drops me off on my desktop and thats it. no broweser, nothing opens up to paypal.
i did do a search here but looks like no one has this issue. hope someone can explain to me what is going here and how i can purchase something with paypal.

Do PayPal play GW2?

dunno, AFAIK it can be a problem on how long it takes for your browser to startup under heavy load or maybe you have a browser not used with the GW2 client?

i have firefox set as my default. and paypal had never an issue to load up on it. thats how i purchase stuff from other sites as well, like ebay.
if paypal should pop up, then it goes directly in to it were i just have to enter my password, but here, nothing happens. just drops out and thats it.

I’d submit a ticket to support, and/or post this in the bug forums. I always buy gems via paypal — with FireFox already open on my other monitor — and it opens a tab just fine for me to login to paypal and make the payment.

guess i have to do that. because firefox is open all the time as well but nothing happens. i even tried to purchase the extension pack through the game but the result was the same. had to purchase directly from the site.

Have you tried clearing your GW2 cache?

You can find instructions, I believe, in the Knowledge Base: Support – Search – Troubleshoot Trading Post

Good luck.
