Ghoest	Posted - 2011.05.13 18:12:00 - [1] That way we wouldnt get the international fees? Wherever you went - Here you are.
Tippia Sunshine and Lollipops	Posted - 2011.05.13 18:16:00 - [2] What you in the US really need is to put some pressure on your banks to stop being a pack of nonces. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki
Ghoest	Posted - 2011.05.13 18:19:00 - [3] Not happening. And for the record Sony despite all its problems always managed to do its US billing in the US even though its a Japanese company. Wherever you went - Here you are.

Actually, that whole flying pig thing is probably more likely to happen than getting the banks to stop being nonces. --Vel Originally by: Blacksquirrel This is EVE. PVE can happen anywhere at anytime. Be prepared.
Ghoest	Posted - 2011.05.13 18:44:00 - [6] Last year for instance one of my banks changed their rules and decided to add an annual fee to something(something which cost them essentially nothing for me). I told them if they were going to that I would close my account. They said - "Ok." That was fine because it was better for me to no waste the money on the fee than keep the account, but they are too big and powerfulto put pressure on. CCP on the ther hand.

And for the record Sony despite all its problems always managed to do its US billing in the US even though its a Japanese company. That's because scea has very little to do with Sony in Japan. Sony is basically allot of pseudo franchises who barely talk to each other. I've worked for a first party Sony dev and Sony music international and in both instances they are a organisational horror story. They all use different billing systems and platforms, payment providers, payment processors...everything is down to the individual departments within the individual companies.

Banks have Americans whipped. You can't do anything without a bank. I can cash checks at CASH FOR GOLD NOW, you can get a loan from a pawn shop, you can keep all of your money online brokerages which offer checking and many other bank-like features. So no...I don't really see how you need banks.

So no...I don't really see how you need banks. Are you 12? They offer checking accounts etc they essentially are banks and charge all th e same fees as banks for similar services. If they offer check/debit cards they are going to charge the fee just like banks. Wherever you went - Here you are.
The Huffarunier Gallente Airport Monkeys	Posted - 2011.05.13 21:03:00 - [12] Originally by: Ghoest That way we wouldnt get the international fees? it is annoying, lets do some math. I pay $14.95 per month and the bank is kind enough to charge me 44 cents for the international charge. So every month eve really costs me $15.39. Assuming I played eve since the beginning and paid $15.39 for the past eight years I would have paid $42.24 in extra fees or 1.4 cents per day. Annoying yes, gonna break you probably not and if so you should not be playing anyway.
Not-Apsalar	Posted - 2011.05.13 21:17:00 - [13] Originally by: Ghoest That way we wouldnt get the international fees? Buy GTC through an American reseller. No international fees.

daddys helper	Posted - 2011.05.13 23:15:00 - [18] Originally by: Corina's Bodyguard I'm in the US, and I don't get any international fees. You have the wrong bank. this ^^ banks are charging more fees now that congress did away with cash cows like payments going towards the lowest rate charges before the higher rate charges and a dozen other things. get a better bank is true, but then again they will have a structure that will extract the same money somewhere else. They have a target profit to hit, and hit it they will, I'll bet overall people pay the same amount more or less at any institution, just in a different way.
I Love Boobies Amarr	Posted - 2011.05.13 23:29:00 - [19] What international fees? I live in the US, and never had one. I have been playing for 5 years now. I think it's your bank.

Quote: you can get a loan from a pawn shop, That is all most pawn shops do is give out 'loans'.

I don't need banks, except that everyone that pays me money does it through direct deposit only. ~No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.~ Tiericide
Xavier Isaacson Minmatar Surface Detail	Posted - 2011.05.14 00:21:00 - [21] It's been said already, none of you seem to have noticed so I'll repost it Buy GTC through an American reseller. No international fees. There, hopefully that got your attention. Originally by: Verone BBC Trust are a sack of arses.

No international fees. There, hopefully that got your attention. Its also been said already, I'M AMERICAN, AND I DON'T PAY INTERNATIONAL FEES. Someone else also said this. So long story short, OP needs anew bank.

No international fees. There, hopefully that got your attention. Its also been said already, I'M AMERICAN, AND I DON'T PAY INTERNATIONAL FEES. Someone else also said this. So long story short, OP needs anew bank. And since you clearly weren't paying attention to anyone else's post in here, who cares if you don't get charged? Are you the OP? No, you aren't. And as someone else pointed out, if the OP really has an issue with such a tiny extra amount of money being taken by their current bank, it is more than likely that any subsequent bank he or she should choose to go to, may well have other charges they routinely apply to other kinds of transactions. In order to avoid this possibility completely it was suggested that the OP does not need to change bank, but rather to make use of another existing payment option, and this one doesn't involve the hassle that comes from having to re setup any and all payments coming in and out of their current bank account. Because lets face it, going through all that crap to avoid paying a pathetic 50'ish cents a month is pretty damned stupid.
Corina's Bodyguard	Posted - 2011.05.14 01:00:00 - [24] Isn't a GTC a few dollars more than a month of game time (heard someone say $17 US in local a while back, never bought one myself)?
Aeronwen Carys Empire of Dust	Posted - 2011.05.14 01:10:00 - [25] Edited by: Aeronwen Carys on 14/05/2011 01:10:52 Originally by: Corina's Bodyguard Isn't a GTC a few dollars more than a month of game time (heard someone say $17 US in local a while back, never bought one myself)? If I could find the thread I was reading earlier, it actually works out between $5-8 cheaper to buy one 60 day GTC from a reseller, than it would be to purchase two consecutive 30 days from CCP themselves. And as I said, it also eliminates the possibility of any international charges.

Not at a problem at all, I could have been a little less "jump down your throat", too much time spent on the forums I think Anyways, hopefully we have helped the OP consider all the available options, and if that's the case, then we did a good job
