We need less bureaucrats, less rules and less taxes. Not more.
WHO the fuck comes up with all these ridiculous, convoluted, slapped on extra rules all the time?

I guess they won't be happy as long as one person in the country still has a job and tries to get ahead.

I would like to thank all the Karens in the world for fucking it up for the rest of us.

credit card processors are bible thumping prudes who see anime porn as problematic and are trying to erase it. Just think of all the imaginary children youre hurting when you coom to Blue archive porn!
Pearls are being clutched into dust

buying points is sometimes a hassle but using forbooks or whatever name its calling itself for now is okay. Having paypal was definitely the easiest to use tho. Too bad its gone.

the forbooks seems to be ok with visa but contstantly seeing error or card declined with mastercard.

which brand of card do you use with the forbooks?
is it a card from the bank you use? or is it a card bought from a store or one of the digital type of card?
i tried visa/mastercard cards bought from store with the forbooks and the point market but it failed to work.

this option uses the japanese amazon pay "amazon.co.jp" not the american/english amazon.com.

the old dlpay that one had a english amazon.com amazon pay option along with the paypal option.

a american amazon account does not work with this point market amazon pay.

since the amazon websites amazon pay options are region locked , amazon pay japan amazon is incompatible with american amazon accounts and visa versa

By the way what is the reason Dlsite no longer allows purchase outside japan and is there any site similar to dlsite that have items similar to dlsite but purchase outside japan,unless some foreign site will allow dlpoints to be paid through paypal to buy things from dlsite outside japan?

It was not DLSite's choice. The two main card brands, MasterCard and Visa, are the ones imposing restrictions to DLSite that DLSite has tried to comply without compromising the NSFW sales, and when complying did not actually work, they worked around said restrictions.
Unfortunately, a lot of the workarounds were shut down as well, so we are left in this situation.

I see eventhough both mastercard and Visa do not want their cards to be used as payment for porn even some sites that sells SFW and NSFW in japan like Dlsite, maybe the site and perhaps other sites thats sells nsfw content must find alternate payment to let everyone buy things from sites that sell both nsfw and sfw in and outside japan, perhapa Dlsite must find some way to allow people outside of japan to get their items both nsfw and sfw and also both Mastercard and Visa didnt realize that their cards are still to purchase nsfw items from some sites like itch.io and attached to paypal used to pay items even itch.io

Hey just a quick assistance, i have dl points and since I am from outside japan with only visa and mastercard debit cards, i will have to pay with DL points instead and i have 1000 point while the total is 6,098 yen and points 609 to pay as stated by the screenshot here (note the items are censored)



but there is one problem even when i select the point section the "purchase confirm" button is not enabled, so i need some step-by-step instructions on how i will purchase items from dlsite with only dlpoints (since we are not allowed to use debit and credits cards outside Japan)

Hey all, just wanted some advice/assistance if possible. I made a ForBooks account in order to purchase DLpoints. I input all the information (email, phone number, name) and received the confirmation email. Clicked on the confirm button which took me back to ForBooks to create a password. Did so and then tried to login, but I received an "incorrect email or password" notification. Figured I just typed the password wrong so I tried again and then tried a few different variations of my usual password when that didn't work. All of those attempts returned the same result.

So I figured I'd just reset my password. Clicked the link to do so, entered my email and hit submit. This sent me back to the login page with the message "We've sent you an email with a link to update your password." Only the problem is that the email never arrived, neither in my regular folder or my spam/junk folder. Tried a few more times all with the same result.

Finally I gave up and assumed I'd screwed up somewhere during the process (maybe I hit the wrong button on the screen when I made my password, that sort of thing) and tried to make my account again. Input all of my information again, but this time it throws up an error saying my "phone number has already been taken." I tried waiting a week just to see if the email from ForBooks was slow in arriving, but it never did.

I'm basically out of ideas and wanted to get a second opinion as ForBooks "help" section hasn't been terribly useful. Anyone else had a problem like this?

This might sound stupid, but did you try entering what you think your password is with caps lock on? I've accidentally created caps passwords before lol.

Other than that, it looks like they've got an inquiry page. Maybe try reaching out through this and see if you can assistance? I don't actually have an account myself, so not sure what else to recommend haha...

I already got the Dlpoints from for book sites and i got more points but GrogGuy I need help ,I want to buy lot of items from DLsite which the total is 6,098 yen and 609 points but the problem is that according to the screenshot (the items are censored)



when i selected the point section only, the "purchase confirm" button is not enabled, so i need some step-by-step instructions on how i will purchase items from dlsite with only dlpoints (since we are not allowed to use debit and credits cards outside Japan)

First off, I can't read Japanese, so it would help if you translated the page so I can tell what I'm looking at.
If you're using chrome, just right click translate. Firefox, you need to install a translator extension before doing the same.

Second, I haven't made any purchases myself on the site since they disabled credit cards, so not sure if how much I can help... but I'll take a quick look.

Edit: Or just change your language settings on dlsite haha... forgot about that.

So comparing my page in English to yours, it looks like you only have 700 points tied to your account. You probably bought the points from ForBooks but didn't enter in the code they sent to you to add them to your account.

Edit: To be more clear, the price total is 6,098 yen or an equivalent amount of points. It doesn't cost 609 points, that's the amount of points they would give you back if you bought the game with a credit card if I recall correctly. So you can't make the purchase because you have 700 points available and the total cost is probably 6,098 points since I think it's 1-1 yen to point.

I don't use dlsite but what I got from this pic is that u applied 700points which reduced the prince from 6798 to 6089(from what I see on their support page 1point = 1yen) and your selected payment method is unavailable so you can't continue.
At least that's what I got from translating this via goggle image.

Okay so that leads to another thing, how will we get the items from dlsite, even though the site claims we have to pay through dlpoints.

Actually I bought 1,000pt and add them to the point slot in dlsite but all I did was type 700 points because the points say 609 points.



and when I press confirm the confirm purchase, it still doesnt enable, its like Dlsite can no longer sell items outside Japan because mastercard and Visa dont accept porn especially from within japan sites like dlsites.


UPDATE- I use english language and this is the result, what could this mean"?


UPDATE 2 - I begin to understand that since 1 point is like 1 yen then i have to pay 6798 points or 7000 points from my perspective to get those items.

It's actually been long enough that I don't remember if I tried that or not lol. I'll try again later today. I wouldn't be surprised if I did accidentally have caps lock on.

I'll also keep the inquires option in mind. I did see it when I first had the issue, but was reluctant to try it since I thought their emails might not reach me if I did try. If push comes to shove I'll give it a shot and see what happens.

Thanks for the advice GrogGuy.

Off topic anyone know why you cant use the review feature in DMM/FANZA as a foreigner?

 

[absoluteunknown]

Purchased from Point Market via Amazon JP, two days later they sent this email with a link to download a bunch of .wav files (was kinda sus it was malware but it wasn't, just some voice novels).
Not sure what's going on here since no serial cards number being given. Don't know if I've been scammed? Anyone got a clue?
