Orders may be manually confirmed by our staff in order to safeguard credit card accounts - it is vital that accurate phone, email and delivery address information are entered into your account details.
For your security and ours, Games101 operates the Merchant Protect to actively and positively authenticate credit card payments.
We reserve the right at all times to ask you to reasonably identify yourself as being the credit card holder prior to Games101 shipping any orders. By placing an order with Games101, you agree to provide information to assist with identity verification checks at our request.

PayPal
Games101 is proud to offer PayPal to all our customers.
The service allows anyone to pay in any way they prefer, including through credit cards, bank accounts, buyer credit or account balances, without sharing financial information.
As PayPal charges merchants very high fees, there is a 3% surcharge for using PayPal at our store. Paying by PayPal means that you will temporarily leave our site to go to PayPal's, process payment, and then return, whilst in a secure transaction environment at all times.
Please note, that as we are not eBay, we need to charge the PayPal surcharge to recoup the high fees they impose on merchants outside of eBay.
Note that PayPal's eCheque option takes up to 7 days for payment to reach Games101 - so, we will not dispatch your order until the eCheque clears. For faster processing, use our SecurePay gateway for credit cards or regular PayPal transfers.
Please note that Games101 requires that PayPal accounts are "verified" by PayPal or manually by Games101 staff prior to processing of orders.
Where Customers use "unverified" PayPal accounts, Games101 will require that Customers provide identification details directly to Games101 prior to further processing of orders. Customers may subsequently become PayPal Verified following placement of an order with us as an "unverified" customer. Please advise us when this occurs.
When Is My Credit Card or PayPal Charged?
Your credit card or PayPal is charged when you place your order at the "Confirm Order" stage. This follows presentation of, and your acceptance of a full tax invoice. The Tax Invoice details freight, surcharges and applicable discounts. By confirming your order you accept the details on the Tax Invoice as being correct and applicable (except in the case of any error by us) and that your card or PayPal account will be charged with the amount shown.

When I check my account, my status shows as "Verifying Details"
This can occur if a) you use an unverified PayPal account or b) some or part of your address or contact details are incorrect or c) we receive an antifraud message from your bank via the secure electronic payment gateway or d) there is some other issue with your order.
If paying by PayPal, this can generally be avoided by "verifying" your account with PayPal in advance of placing an order with us.
Generally, we may ask you to do one of the following things to assist us to resolve the matter, including providing copies of photo identification, proof of address or by verifying that you are the credit card holder in another way. We may verify that you are the credit card holder by redepositing small, random sums back into your credit card and requesting that you advise us of these credits before we proceed to process your order.
