Can anyone here confirm for what the difference is between the free version and premium version is ?
I'm especially interested in confirming if it's still true that :
Both = start up , checks addons to update , put addons to update at the top of the list.
Premium Version = Update all button up the top.
Free Version = Update button besides each addon to update.
Suggestion : Free Version = have a mini game where you have to click stuff around to update the addons. Would make updating your addons fun
Also I'm terribly utterly sorry I haven't tried to seek the answers myself :p I'm currently at work at a call desk so I don't really have a lot of time to search through that behomoth of a thread at the top of the forums or even just to google it. I've had to take 10 calls since I started to write this already :eek:. Having it answered in a thread of it's own also means I can quote it to people 8)
Wrote a comment to the Curseforge news, but as it got a little lost in all the spam I'll copy it here...
I tried to pay for Premium, but PayPal refuses to continue unless I add a credit card to my PP account.
Is that something you can change for your billing process, or is that another PP annoyance and will pop up on every payment I try to send now?
This is a issue from Paypal, Iam not sure why it happens(maybe a option for the shopowners?) but in quite some US shops that accept PayPal you cannot pay unless you added a CC, even when you have enough money on your Account already or a verified Bank Account added.
Its especially weird because after adding a CC you can just get the money from your Bank Account instead of the CC that you added only for the reason that you couldnt pay with your verified Bank Account :P
(I had the same a few years ago)
Just remembered I made an online prepaid cc when booking my IBM tests some years ago...
added it to my PayPal account and checked whether it's only a PP bug, but the only option PP shows me is to pay using the cc.
So I guess the Curse PP is setup to only accept credit card payment, will that ever be changed, or does everybody willing to pay for premium need a cc to do so?
With the free version, you can only update one addon at a time and you have to click for each one.
TY For the confirmation Adirelle .. I need to work out why I'm not getting notifications of changes in thread topics :(
So if it's sorted up the top and you have 5 addons to update you just click 5 times ? Sounds like a game of whack a mole ! Make it so ! Mini game in ma addon updater FTW.

On all accounts other than the basic personal accounts, PayPal charges a percentage fee for users paying by credit card while direct transfer of funds are free. I wouldn't be surprised if this had anything to do with PayPal wanting to force business accounts to pay that extra percentage fee.
Curse specifically went with PayPal as the only payment method because not everybody has credit cards, especially in certain european countries.
Ah true, PayPal probably requires the credit card so it can automatically charge it on renewal since a bank account might not have enough in it at the time. But now the question is what about those in other countries where credit cards are very uncommon? I forget which country it is but I thought in one of the European countries everybody used what was the equivalent of a debit card but it was run by the government. I know somebody specifically brought that up on IRC.
As there are prepaid CCs, the whole thing is pretty stupid imho, as it doesn't really matter whether PP get's a "No money available" message from a CC company or my bank :P
And I dunno about government run debit cards... but here in Germany you can pay nearly everything using your normal bank card (though it's an agreement between economy and banks rather than any form of law).

Well.. it does matter. For creditcards the "clearing" of the transfer will be instant and free. For german bank transfer it will take time and if something is wrong with the bank account (wrong number or bad balance) the bank will even charge paypal some euros for the negative attempt.
Another reason is that you can chargeback any merchant side initiated german bank transfer for six weeks without the need to provide a reason for that. Again the merchant has to pay some euros for that chargeback. If you can provide a reason there is no deadline for such a chargeback.

It's not possible to have a wrong account registered for instant payment, if you want to verify your bank account PP sends you a few cents and the subject of that payment contains a code to verify it's the right (and your) bank account.
The fees for failed attempts because of bad balance could be a problem, though ;D Although I guess PP would not allow any more payments from that account until they get their money...

Same goes for payments made with credit card, depending on what your contract states, chargebacks are possible within up to 6 month.

well... I was an account manager for an mmorpg and have experience with bank transfer payments. You won't believe how many people change their bank accounts ... because they move to an other bank or to another city or whatever ... that's not a problem with one time payments but with subscription it probably is .)

No.. with credit card payments you can dispute a payment.. but before the money is returned the cc company will contact the merchant and ask for additional information. If the merchant can proove deliverance or something like that the chargeback won't happen.
