Thriller Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I tried with a Mastercard debit card, didnt work but I'm sure I bought 05 with a similar card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jamiedubya21 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 yeah visa for me as well. by the way I just tried to use my mum card with permission and was getting the same thing, if you keep clicking complete purchase and it doesnt register be careful you are not getting charged each time! The bank just called my mum to ask why he was over her limit when she had about 200 left on it. If elicense are taking the money then this is pretty dodgy for a few peeps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlan Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Just tried again and this time it says error 24 which just means the card has been declined when only 2minutes before i bought a dvd with the same card so it shouldnt be declined for any reason. EDIT: Both cards getting declined in the same way but both are fine so it seems like another screwy elicense problem. Anyone wanna buy it for me and ill paypal them the money ?

Guest Jamiedubya21 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 just off the phone with the bank myself. Credit Card 1 - took the money from my card but halted all duplicate tranactions Credit Card 2 - money was taken from this also but was halted due to duplicate transactions Mums card - all transaction were blocked by the bank as the bank highlighted it suspicious as there was 5 transactions by the same amount. Panic over, although it does look like Ive paid but Ive never got beyond the error 23/24 message. JW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jamiedubya21 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Ive paid for it twice now by the looks of thing, once off my 1st credit card, once off my 2nd. My mums was cancelled by the bank and all duplicate transactions (on all cards) were cancelled by the bank as well. Ive called both Bank of Scotland and Barclaycard who confirmed that the payment has been authorised so I couldnt manually cancel them. Ive now paid for the game twice and have ZERO in the way of licenses. I have contacted Viatech/E-License regarding this. Forlan - Id imagine it will be taken once from each of the cards (possibly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlan Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 ****ing scammers With the error changing to declined on dads card maybe that is due to the bank cancelling all transactions as he couldnt be over the limit he has 1000's on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manimal Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 The people who have payed more then once, do you have two elicense? If you do you could sell the other one to someone like me who has to pay with paypal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had the game for myself and wasnt having to chase up banks at 6pm on a Friday night! Ive no beef with GDS about this but Viatech/Elicense is a joke!

There is a reason with nearly all online purchases they tell you to only hit that particular button [I]once[/I], it's a safeguard. With that said, should they tell you there is nothing they could do about refunding your money, then re-selling it would be an option, and while it may be bad for you and you would be justifibily angry (as I would too), it's most likely out of their control for various reasons. Although most companies I have noticed have been very good with handling these types of errors and in the long run either can give a full refund or credit. However, with that said, I do not know the internal workings of eLicense that well to know how they handle this type of error with the system.
