Hey everyone,

is there an easy way to get a DLC for steam without using paypal?

I bought Rocksmith 2014 on Amazon for 30 €, but for it to be fully functional you need a certain song (Cherub Rock), so you can install all the other DLCs for free.

The problem: the song is 2,95 €, which would take ages to get just selling trading cards on steam.

I saw you could get 20 € gift cards from Amazon, but that's way overkill, as I will never use the other 17 €. Is there any way to add a specific amount of Steam funds to my account (downonmyniece, if you want to add me) without using Paypal or a credit card?

Thanks lots!

you could go to the convenience store, buy a prepaid credit card, buy the song, and then do whatever with the amount of money left on said prepaid card?

hope that helps.

That seems like an awful lot of paperwork for a 3 € purchase.

you could put an item on the marketplace for that amount and asks one of your friends with paypal to buy it.

I don't know anyone who uses Steam, honestly.

I suppose I'll just have to bite the bullet and charge 20 € to it. The first 20 € took five years to spend...

Get a Paysafecard for 10€ (I think that's the lowest amount). I'm sure you'll find a way to spend the remaining 7€ on steam.

Give 3 euro to a friend and let him buy it as a gift on steam and send it to you!

You don't need to know someone who uses steam, it would be enough to know someone who uses paypal. They can buy over your steam account, you can select, use guest paypal account to pay.

edit: Btw, sorry, since the title explicitly reads, without paypal. But your non headache options really come down to 20 euro steam card, friend who uses steam or friend who uses paypal.

edit edit: oh cool, since my suggestion doesn't seem to be completly useless, just checked, I have an option for, use my paypal account and use paypal (that would be the thing I thought was called guest paypal).

Oh thanks, I didn't even think of that!

Consider this thread solved.
