PayPal Buying1
Hello! Why i cant buy scripts, when i dont have money at my paypal account, i mean, every shop use the system, when you dont have money at the account, then it goes from you credit or debiit (Bank)
why???
Try transfer funds from your debit account to your PayPal account.
@Snorlak That is the Problem, i must wait 1-3 Days untill i can buy scripts, that is stupid :(
There's nothing we can do. This is PayPal's fault as their adaptive payment API for some reason doesn't allow that.
ah, okay, but why does roblox has this?
Marcuz has pretty much done what he can in terms of development to make the payment process as quick as possible. However, PayPal has their unique ways of doing things, and sometimes it's a waiting game. Only thing we can recommend is always keeping some available funds directly in your paypal account so that you can make purchases right away.
You can always ask the content creator if you can send the money directly to them and for them to give you manual access
Pretty much given him all the advice we can. If Marcuz wants to chime in more, he can re-open, but I'll close this for now.
So basically what is happening is that we're using the PayPal Adaptive Payments API with the Chained payments option to split money between developers and us. This API is not using the same standards as other PayPal APIs apparently because it doesn't take money from your bank account OR automatically convert between currencies. You have to do this manually for whatever dumb reason. PayPal always tells you it's our fault, but in reality it's truly theirs, but they're just too lazy to do anything about it, or too dumb to realise this API works like that.
Roblox and other websites don't split money with developers this way. This API was the only way to do what we wanted to do at the time.
