right so i decided to actually pay for this and went and created a paypal account. took me 2 days to get it activated , now i clicked the buy now link( not the orange button to buy with creditcard but the small paypal button below it) on the website and it redirects me to a paypal page saying i need to activate a creditcard to my account since the owner requires direct payment or something. heres the translation from babelfish.


Your recipient wants be paid directly. to make Direct payment possible , you must couple a creditcard as payment source.

ive read that it was possible to pay with your bank account instead of a creditcard , but the way it looks now its just not possible, i dont have any option to choose pay through bank account, all it asks me is to couple a creditcard to my paypal account.... can someone tell me what the f.. im doing wrong here?? i activated my paypal account thats not the problem.

I uploaded a screenshot showing the page it directs me to when clicking the paypal button below the orange button at http://www.minecraft.net/prepurchase.jsp
sorry its in dutch , tried changing the language setting to something else but couldnt find it, this is what babelfish makes of it Your recipient wants be paid directly. to make Direct payment possible , you must couple a creditcard as payment source.
 This is the first time ever im doing an online purchase so dont shoot me if im doing something simple wrong...

whoops

crap i think i know whats the problem i guess i need to put some money on my paypal account first as i didnt quite read the text fully.

this is what it says below the message 
Your available PayPal-saldo exceed this operation. If you want complete purchase, you must add creditcard or check card data.

well , still it should be possible to pay directly from your bank account instead of first transfering money to your paypal account...
