Unable to buy skype credits

For almost a year I'm trying to buy skype credits. But there are some problems, because I started using skype when I was in China. Now I have to buy credits reading Chinese symbols, luckily they added a translate button to Englisch so I thought my problem was solved. WRONG because I have a European bank account I still can't purchase skype credits!!!!
I should open a new account, but that is also not possible because skype knows my email address and tells me, very friendly that I already have an account. So I'm stuck, I worked around this service for a long time, but now a have to use it again.
So somebody please help me to buy credits and ore change my account to an European one!
Below you can find my communication so far with skype customer service

Dear Alexarai,
So I have contacted the Chinese centre and as you can see, I don't think they can help me. At least, I can't read it, you?
Why is it so hard to make it posible for me to buy skype credits

Hello Hanneke,
Thank you for your response.      
We understand that the resolution that we have provided did not resolve your concern and we feel how frustrating it is for you to be directed in a Chinese website when you try to purchase a Skype credit. Upon further research on your account our system recognized that your account was created in China. That is the main reason why you are being directed to a Chinese website. In order for you to make a purchase we strongly suggest that you coordinate with our Skype partner in China which is TOM so that they can assist you with your concern.

Hi, H19, and welcome to the Community,
While I appreciate the inconvenience, the easiest thing to do would be to create a new Skype account and use or create a different or new e-mail address.  Your first account is affiliated with Skype's partner in the PRC. 
Kind regards,
Elaine

    Hi, I'm now in France and I want to buy Skype credits.
    I'd love the rate to be in Euro, and payment in Euro and via my bank in France.
    However whenever I browse for skype credit (from Skype client in my PC) or in skype web, it always shows the rate of NTD (New Taiwanese Dollar) ! That bugs me a lot because I can't find anyway to change this behavior.
    Even when I press "continue" to buy, the skype page redirect me to the page of PCHome, and of course all the contents are in Chinese.
    I had 2 years in Taiwan (2009-2011) but my skype account existed longer before. I don't know why my stay in Taiwan can affect my experience in purchasing with skype.

    If you have used your Skype in Taiwan or made a purchase, your account may have been linked/tagged to PCHome(Skype's Partner in Taiwan).
    In order to be unlinked/untagged from PCHome, you will need to contact Skype Customer Support

    http://skype.gmw.cn/product/productlist.html
    It lists all the prices in RMB.  When select any of these,  it asks me to enter my bank account in China. 
    What a joke....
    How do people in the US buy Skype credits in US dollars?  Is that even possible?

  • Is it possible to get free $0.30 skype credits?

    I have purchased Unlimited US & Canada for $2.99 but in order to set up caller id, I need enough skype credits for two text messages. I dont think it's fair to force people to buy $14.00 worth of skype credits just so that we can get two text messages (about $0.30) to set up caller id.

    i got this error message when buying skype credit.
    "An internal error occurred.
    Sorry, but we were unable to start your payment. Please try again later."
    any help would be appreciated.

    I have a similar problem, Skype tells me everything is fine with my account but it isn't, I can't purchase additional credit and I'm running out!
    I've been using Skype for longer than I care to remember all over the world, then Microsoft came along...lots of advertsing banners...lots of tinkereing which the say "will improve our experiance"  (offensive text removed).
    Please don't ask me to send a screen shot it will not help, what will help is putting pressure on the Microsoft (offensive text removed) to fix this problem. I've been trying to buy credit for several days now and it will not log me into the final checkout screen.

  • Can no longer buy skype credit in Canadian Dollars...

    I bought my computer 4 years ago in China.  Over there, I paid using my former Chinese bank account.
    18 months ago I returned to Canada and started buying skype credit using my Canadian Visa paying in CDN Dollars.
       The past six months however I cannot buy credit because the payment page it switches to is the Skype China website requesting payment in RMB.   
    For five months I was able to use skype by turning on the auto recharge option, where my Canadian visa details are stored.  Last month, however, the skype system recharged 14 CDN Dollars, but at the same time cancelled the auto recharge.  Now, the system does not let me start up the auto recharge.
    On my skype account page on the top right I see the skype China payment company's logo.  Clicking the logo, a sign appears saying:  "This company gives you more payment options." (in English)    My Visa credit card is valid and not part of the problem.  What is the problem?

     Hello,
    please contact Skype customer service who will de-link your account from the Chinese website.

  • TS3354 Running Win7/64 on Mac Pro with Bootcamp, unable to buy iTunes HD movies

    Hi,
    ran into issue with Mac Pro tower connected to dual Apple Cinema 23-inch (final generation) displays. Running Win7/64 SP1 under Bootcamp on second HD; running iTunes latest, and unable to buy HD movie from iTunes store even though have latest Bootcamp drivers and Mountain Lion, and monitors connected via Displayport, Apple HD, and video (ATI Radeon 5700 series).
    Is this an issue with iTunes not being able to detect the video card or displays under bootcamp in Windows?
    (SIGH.)
    Any suggestion would be helpful. I work during day on my Mac Pro, using Win7/64 most of the time; like to buy stuff on iTunes, like music, etc., and then be able to in living room download to also use with Macbook Pro and a Win7/64 HTPC.
    Sorry to see such spotty support for iTunes on Windows 7 these days -- granted it's not their main product line, but still.

    Just to clarify I am an advanced user going back to Mac SE/30, and so forth.
    If you're not running Bootcamp on Windows, on Mac hardware, this discussion won't be of interest to y'all.
    robgw:
    as you may or may not know, it doesn't look like the drivers that Apple installs for Windows with bootcamp provides the full control panel, so under the Windows device info all one sees is this:
    Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
    Everything works, but there is no Radeon control panel, and no way for Windows to see if its HDCP compliant, even thugh it is.
    Sadly Apple doesn't provide a proper "Radeon" control panel for Windows, and I've heard of massive problems installing the defacto ATI Windows driver package on Bootcamp, as it might conflict with Bootcamp's drivers. The ATI site doesn't even have a modern download for Bootcamp ... it's up to Apple to provide.
    SO, I guess I was trying to see how one could enable the ability for Windows to "see" the display properties (Apple's drivers recognize it as a cinema display, but that's about it).
    iTunes won't allow purchase of the HD version -- it will only allow purchase of the SD version.
    Perhaps another person using this kind of set-up might weigh in if they have a chance. Not world ending, just one of the minor annoyances with not having the full dirver control panel on Windows, running on Mac Pro HD.
