They way paypal works. When you buy something with paypal, it immediately subtracts the money from your account. Stardock only takes your money when they can give you a product. When the beta is open, you pre-order and immediately get access to the beta, so they charge you. When it's closed and you pre-order, you don't get anything, so they don't charge you.
This is reasonable, but rather counterproductive in my case, well... thanks anyway!
Paypal doesn't allow making an order and being charged later.
As an alternative, you may be able to get a prepaid credit/debit card (which functions like a credit card for buying purposes) and use that to preorder. Can you get a prepaid debit card where you live?
Best regards,
Steven.
thanks for the idea but it's only a week before release, so I think it will take too long to request and receive a prepaid card. It seems I have to wait till release then.
