I bought few games using Paypal in the standard way, which is being redirected to Paypal site, pay and return to the original site.
Now, for two different games when asked for paying I got a form to be filled with my personal data (fiull name, state, address, ZIP...) which I do not absolutely want to release. The result is that I gave up with the buy. Why is this happening, and only for few cases? Is there any way to bypass this path and to pay as usual?
Some creators choose to be paid directly, while others let itch.io collect payments, I suspect that's the difference. Apparently it's required by EU regulations, which sucks. But keep in mind that when you pay directly to creators, they get to learn all this private information about you, while when you give it to itch.io it's well protected.
Thanks, but I still do not understand. I use Paypal to buy from everywhere in the world and I never seen that forms requireing personal data.
The fact is that sometimes I get the standard Paypal form with just my account info (in this case only Paypal knows me), other times the form is still named Paypal, but the questions are different and I do no rely on it. I do not know if this form comes from itch.io or from the creator.
It is a pity since the more actracting for me games use that abnormal form.
