Well some are not using his credit card maybe , some have only maestro , some likes PayPal cuz the fee is cheaper.
I did a direct transfer bank to bank 150 € to MA and my bank taxed me with 14 € that sucks tbh...

Debit card is not a credit card. They cost 0 to 1.5 Eur per month to maintain, and the tax is few cents compared to direct transfer. Its the same card you use to pay for groceries in 711 or any other market, you use the same card to pay online, simple as that. Make an online bank order from maestro to master card, the card arrives to your house within few days. You can now deposit as simply as using paypal.

Also most of those banks have their own ATMs that you can deposit direct to your debit card for 0 fee . PayPal fee is way higher than this

That fee is the actual fee levied by the bank to the company and not something MA charges and is usually due to mistake in input made by the withdrawer. There is 0 sense in removing that fee as that would be an unnecessary drain for MA. The way to be cost effective is to not make mistake and give the proper details in the first place.



That is exactly what this notification is about and that they are actively pursuing adding other methods. Whats your point?



You also need a home address/residence proof/money to begin with etc etc etc to actually get a bank account. To add to that if you do not have bank with smart enough people to give you the correct numbers then perhaps ask the bank you deal with to get some brains instead of wasting forum space here.

Bank deposits are 100+ because there is a $10-15 usd minimum cost for a wire transfer levied. Imagine depositing 50 usd and bank charging 15 usd for it. Lol. MA just making sure no one does something stupid and then blames MA for it. Even $100 is too low anyways. Hence why for small transfers credit/debit card works best until we have other options like neteller/transferwise available.



That is because you did a small transaction. Had you done $1500 the cost would be aroun 20-25 usd max which is much less compared to what you pay via other merchants which generally charge 2-4%.

For now credit/debit card is the only option for small transactions and once the other merchants are onboard we will have more options.

As an alternative to PayPal, MindArk recommends using the bank or wire transfer deposit option, which is the most cost-effective method to deposit funds into Entropia Universe.


The part where they said bank transfers are available. Which are not in webshop

That makes sense I agree but to get that they will need a way to tag your order in webshop with the deposit you make. Not sure how they will implement it ( they can generate a deposit ID which then we need to put in our wire transfer) but I guess support case with manual entry can be made an option for this purpose considering bank deposit means that the amount would be substantially higher.

There is an approx 2% cost variation in cc vs deposit rates etc but cost of wire transfer is around 20-30 usd. So anything less then 3k USD transfer i would still do via cc/debit instead of wire transfer. For anything above, the option would be helpful for sure.

Ref cryptocurrency, only and only if MA finds an intermediary which to take the risk. Otherwise no tx, 10PED = 1$ or bust.

MA it is about time to get into 21st century. Add crypto already. Transfer fees as cheap as 1 pec.

This will not kill anything.
It would just be a payment option for the buyer (the player). The merchant (MA) wouldn't have to manage any cryptocurrency, it would instantly receive fiat money (USD, EUR, SEK...).

How can you be sure about that
