I think I'm completely lost on the original poster's point.
His debit card is not accepted directly by CCP (they have been having intermittant problems with debit cards, even I had a problem with mine for half a year and used to buy GTCs with ISK until it was solved eventually).
He managed however to use his debit card via paypal to pay for his subscription (in)directly to CCP.

A 60 day GTC cost ú26. I bought one a few days ago. I have no idea why you would pay in Euros when there are loads of sites selling them in dollars and as such with the exchange rate it comes out at about ú26.
Because ú26/60day = 0.43/day, while 38 Euro = ú33, and ú33/90day = 0.36/day
So about 15% cheaper.

What do you mean ú33/90 days?
re-read the OP then.
38 euro for a 3-month subscription.
38 euro = 33 GBP at current exchange rate.
P.S. Yes, he did make the mistake of claiming a 60-day GTC would also be worth 33 GBP (instead of the 25-26 GBP he can get it for).
And he also made the mistake of claiming GTCs are dead, but that's patently untrue since most GTCs are bought for sale against ISK, not for paying your own subscription.

So in essence we're agreeing that the OP got it wrong haha
Well, yes, we're agreeing that he made some mistakes. One mistake, actually, the price in GBP of a GTC. And also reached the wrong conclusion, but for different reasons.
But he did make a valid point, namely that it's cheaper to subscribe (and gets cheaper the more months you pay in advance) than to buy GTCs to pay your accounts with.
And he also made another somewhat valid point, that you can use "pay by cash" via paypal to subscribe if for some reason CCP's billing system doesn't accept your debit card (this assumes paypal's does).
