I am a bit miffed that FB gets any of the money...they out no effort into the game or its development, they do not give us the new updates. All fb really does is cause aggravation with all their un-needed updates which inevitably cause more broken down issues. I to wish and hope that sk will pack up and move to a different server or place to play. FB makes millions from their advertisment, must they have this as well? yes I realize it's like renting a space BUT come on. Does anyone know if sk has to pay to have the game on fb and my space?? In any case I would much rather see sk take all the money, and fb get nothing. Mark has become a greedy, power hungry little man.

Until something new comes out that I MUST have of course lol.

Sound like you requested the 250 Farm Cash and didn't have enough credits, but they should not have been able to charge your Paypal account unless you authorized it.

I'm from Belgium. I always bought FC with a prepaid card (in my case that is a wallie card). When I didn't have a Wallie card available at that time and I was too lazy to go to the store to get me one, I often used my mobile phone to get some cash.
This morning, I wanted to buy some cash (now credits ofcourse) with my mobile phone. I had to select a country from the drop down menu. Belgium isn't listed

I never, ever had any problems purchasing cash with my mobile phone before. And now, since they changed it, we, the people from Belgium can't buy credits with the mobile. THIS SUCKS BIG TIME.

I didn't but i have bought credits before using my mc, but not once did I say it was ok to charge my cc yesterday...I went to complain to fb and they gave me options, I checked give me a refund and I will try again and got a reply letter saying to wait 72 hrs for a reply...so now i don't wanna spend anything from my fc not even the 26 I had bought before the change over, just in case.

Another reason to just get a gift card the next time you are at a store...... it does cost about 5% to "activate" it .... but that is a small price to pay to
[1] keep hackers away from the personal credit or debit cards, and
[2] limit potential loses to the remaining balance on the gift card, and
[3] monitor the addition to FT to spend $FTcash a little better, and
[4] you can always use the balance to buy other things on line for the same protections against hackers.

This will be just like the government placing another tax on a corporation. The corporation does not end up really paying the tax, .... they pass the cost on to the consumer, resulting in higher prices.

Can you see it now?j New facility could have been $35, now $45.

Well, I did too before I found out how easy it was to get some farmcash with the mobile phone. Now facebook took that away from me by changing things. Not a happy bunny right now.

I'm not sure who this "you" is that you're referring to, musicman... but Slashkey was compelled to follow this edict from Facebook if they wanted to retain FB as their platform for the game. Be angry with FB if you want, but seeing as this is a Slashkey forum, I think you're yelling at the wrong person here.
