![]() no „are you a human?“ test is required etc. Oh and what I meant with „3rd party“: I meant that the Steam Client uses (perhaps) a dedicated „3rd party apps“ API (as opposed to the API used by other websites), e.g. (*) This suggests that there is indeed a valid connection with Paypal - at least with its authentication service Clear the „browser cache“ in the Steam Client settings.Logout from Steam: the next time I had to reselect Paypal as payment method (so some settings were indeed reset).Deliberately enter a wrong Paypal password: but lo and behold, it was rightfully rejected (*).But as you say it should be possible to first use the „Steam credits“, and pay the rest via another payment method).įor the record, what I tried in the meantime: in fact, I had the exact same idea back when I tried to purchase the Caribou about 4 weeks ago (but then backed off from this idea, both because it might have been a „temporary glitch“ with Paypal and I wasn‘t sure how to spend the remaining money on Steam. I understood your reasoning behind your suggestion very well („to isolate the error source.“). Its just important to know whether there is a generally problem with that paypal window opened from Steam, or whether its only happens if as example MSFS is running. While it worked just fine before last christmas it first failed like 4 weeks ago, when I tried to buy the Caribou aircraft - and now again (still).Īnother thing that came to my mind: is it possible that I (now, newly) need to „authorize 3rd party apps“ somewhere in my settings on itself? Or anything else on that could block a transaction from proceeding?īut if that was the case I would still expect some error message like „transaction blocked“, so… (?) ![]() I guess it must be something „locally“ on my end / PC.

Or can I combine this with other payment methods in the future? Anyway, that‘s another topic…) ![]() The only downside seems to be that I cannot enter an arbitrary money amount, but only purchase / tranfer predefined amounts (10 EUR, 20 EUR, 50 EUR etc. Outside of MSFS, can you add credit ( Guthaben ) on your Steam account ? Does that work ? I just also tried logoff and logon into the Steam Client as well, same result.MSFS Premium Deluxe (as far as it matters anyway), latest updates installed (and restarted).Enter 2FA (as generated by mobile app), click Continue.Confirm by clicking the yellow “Paypal” buttonĪ new “white dialog with rounded corners” appears (seemingly some embedded login dialog coming directly from Paypal):.Select PayPal (with “Remember payment method” checked), click ContinueĪ message appears, saying essentially that “payments are authorised via the Paypal website”.Select the exact amount (here: CHF) the aircraft costs and click again on “Refill Cash” (“Guthaben aufladen”).Click on “Refill Cash” (German: “Guthaben aufladen”).The amount of required Credits is shown for “Microsoft Flight Simulator”.Select an item to purchase in the marketplace (e.g.
