i would like to buy a paysafecard in usa but i can't seem able to find a retailer that sells them.
if i am not mistaken is called a paysafecard voucher.
if i go to their site it says that there are moneygrams terminals near me that sell this paysafe cards, but when i go there the employees have no idea what i am talking about. the only way to buy a gift card is to take a piece of colored board(4x8 inches) from a shelf that has a name and a code that is scanned at the cash register. there are a few shelfs filled with these things, but none of them is for paysafe card. there also seem to be no gift cards(or prepaid debit cards for international payment).
there are terminals for moneygrams but there is no option to buy a paysafe card. you can make a payment to a specific person or business, but since i haven't bought anything from gog i can't make a payment. i don't know even if is possible to do that.
ps
could it be possible to use vanilla visa gift card to buy games here on gog?
any other options?

They seem to have a page which should list sellers https://www.paysafecard.com/en-us/find-sales-outlet-1/

Or these pages for some other options for them?

From what I've seen on the forum, American prepaid cards can't be used outside of the US. Double-check with the card issuer if that's the case. GOG is a Polish company with a Dutch payment processor.

To see all payment options available to you, add a game to your shopping cart, then proceed to the checkout page.

As for Paysafecard, their American support page says,
"Both our physical and online PINs are country-specific, so you can only use them in the country where you bought them."

See How can I buy PaysafeCard PINs online? if you're still interested but can't find a way to buy physical gift cards in your area.

Rather than use paysafecards, use pre-paid debit cards that specify a billing address.

Once you provide a billing address, that should not give you any problems when buying from GOG.

the paying with gift cards from cvs is confusing, because it doesn't say the name of the gift card that i can buy from cvs.

so, if the pins are country-specific how can i pay to gog?

I have used pre-paid debit cards with a US-based billing address and they work with GOG.

I don't know, dude...maybe show them paysafecard's website on your mobile?
https://www.paysafecard.com/en-us/find-sales-outlet-1/

Show 'em, that their outlet is one of the 70.000 (provided, they ARE one of those)?

Heck, maybe the PaysafeCards are not branded as paysafeCard, but as something else - and paysafeCard is only the service provider in the background?
(I wouldn't know - I'm not from the US)
