Just a short suggestion: Make it possible to buy Aurum through other means than credit cards. Not everyone has one, wants one or is willing to get one just for Aurum.
CCP is losing lots of revenue because dumbasses like me are too lazy to buy Aurum if they have to get a credit card to do it! |

Buy it on the market? If you buy it there, the person who bought it with their credit card has to buy new and CCP gets the revenue. |

Pretty much this. If you can't buy things on the internet, how are CCP supposed to sell you things on the internet? |

The problem is, I can get more Aurum for my money if I buy the Aurum with a credit card. Buying it with ISK means either being space rich so I wouldn't have to buy it with real money in the first place, or buying PLEX. But if I buy PLEX, I can either turn it into less Aurum than I would get if bought Aurum directly, or I get even less Aurum by selling the PLEX and buying Aurum off the market.
Personally, I would really like to buy the largest Aurum-package just to get the maximum amount of Aurum possible (because I'm a cheapskate). The baffling thing is, if you have no credit card, or don't want to own one, you can't buy Aurum directly. Which is really weird in this day and age. It would be like finding out you can only buy things by mailing money to Iceland.
Right now I don't see a reason why people with credit cards get a better deal automatically just because CCP was too lazy to give us other options.
It would be the easiest thing in the world to change this. |

I don't have a credit card either, but my bank card says Visa on it, so it works just as well. So does everyone else I know.
Do you NOT have a bank card? Also, pretty sure CCP accepts paypal which doesn't require a credit card either. |

The answer is "not an American". Seriously, if I want to buy something over the internet, everyone and their uncle uses PayPal. Even CCP, just not in this case.
Hell, I can even use services which transfer money from my bank account directly. A credit card is just a superfluous step which adds more fees to pay for you.
I'm well aware though in certain countries people think differently, because apparently paying more fees to your capitalist overlords is great and the respectful thing to do. |

My bankcard sadly isn't an accepted option, even though it is apparently part of some German/Europe-centric payment services.
And if you look back at the OP, no CCP doesn't accept PayPal for Aurum. For everything else, sure they do. Not for Aurum.
This is why I made this suggestion in the first place: CCP already accepts PayPal for their services, but not for Aurum. I would guess it would really, really easy to make PayPal an option for the Aurum-shop.
It would be a nice, low-effort method of satisfying customers from countries where you aren't force-fed with credit cards at every opportunity. |

Paypal, in holland they do IDEAL and direct debit even... Now i'd personally not buy any AURUM for cash but i can't see why there would be legal issues. They have the infrastructure in place to deal with the other payment schemes... |

Exactly, allowing more payment choices for direct Aurum-buys would benefit both CCP and its customers. |
