Origin Won't Let Me Pay With Paypal

Hi!

I'm trying to order Mass Effect 3 from Origin, but I don't want to give Origin my credit card information. However, the 'PayPal' option under the payment tab is grayed out, and won't allow me to pay with PayPal.

I've tried searching this problem, but the FAQ tells me nothing about this.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

  • PayPal is only allowed for specific purchases. I don't know the exact rules, but I think it's not allowed for new games and point cards. ME3 doesn't fit in either category, so they may have updated their policy.

    Edit: You could use something like Entropay, which is a virtual visa card. You can transfer the funds from a bank account and pay in online stores that accept Visa. You have to pay a small fee, though (4% I think).

  • I already had my credit card information entered while trying to buy something, and I didn't want to use it, but PayPal was grayed out. I clicked "proceed" anyway, then clicked "edit payment info" or whatever and PayPal wasn't grayed out anymore! I'm not sure what the problem was but it's good now, hope this helps!
