No option to pay with card on Bundle

I was going to buy the Ukrainian Hospital bundle, but the only payment method available is PayPal.

I do not have a PayPal. Nor will I have a PayPal. I do not trust PayPal.

After searching here, I’ve discovered that creators have an option that makes it so I can only pay with PayPal.

That’s cool, but there needs to be a setting to just not show me their stuff. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to hurt your bottom line, but I’m not going to buy your stuff if the only available payment option is PayPal. Showing me your stuff is a free add for PayPal that no one is getting paid for and is annoying me.

I'm suffering like you I'm from Algeria and I can use PayPal so my money are stuck

I texted them to a bank account option like paysera which work in my country but still no response

This site is amazing they must add other payout methods, there is a lot of foreigners in here not only Americans

That is a charity bundle. Not a regular bundle.

From the bundle page: 100 % of proceeds are transferred automatically...

That means it is configured as direct to you payout directly to that charity. I assume that this was only possible with paypal, since that charity does not seem to have a credit card donation option. They do accept bank transfer and paypal can pay out to bank accounts.

I know it’s a charity bundle. I frequently support charity bundles, and understand how they work.

That doesn’t change the fact that I won’t, and many people can’t, use PayPal. The fact that PayPal will process a card payment doesn’t change that I have to sign up for a PayPal account in order for me to do that.

Edit: of the several charity bundles Ive bought, this is the only one that requires PayPal.

What he's referring to is that on Itch, there are two ways for "sellers" to get paid.

One is through Itch; the other is to pay them directly.

In this case, the bundle was set up by its creators as a direct payment option, and therefore, Itch can't do anything to change the payment settings. If you need other payment methods, you'll have to speak directly with the bundle creators.

EDIT:
By the way, you're on the general Itch forum, so it's best to try to contact the creators directly.
