I'd rather say "don't trust PayPal", but I might be biased.
With IG - using it regularly, no problem so far. Couple of time I had to contact support I was answered in a timely and efficient manner, and problems were resolved to my satisfaction.
P.S. I use Google Wallet with my CC, after more than 6 months - not a hiccough, would recommend to everyone.

hmm... you can try again with Wallet (it might be connection problems - I got it from time to time 'cause of my old notebook twitches). If still no luck - try to see if payment was stopped from you CC for some reason. I had (long time ago) to specifically authorize new payment (first time) for some service that was charging oversea - my CC was on "alert" for suspicious activities XD. Dealt with that by calling their customer support #.

Why? I have recently contacted them because of an issue and they replied fast enough and seemed willing to help. The issue has not been solved yet, but considering that last 3 days were not working days, I'm not worried yet.

I got the reply on the next day, not right away. They are located in Italy, if I'm not mistaken, and it's holiday there today. I would say to wait till tomorrow before starting to worry.

yes, that. 2-3 hrs is not really a problem - though I understand that you want to buy that bundle before price increase. Just buy it again - and then tell them to cancel first order (if it was charged). Or just cancel that through PayPal or even right from your CC (it's an additional step though - you will have to contact this particular CS too, but that's an option). And yes - one of my problems was quite similar to yours (I "got" a bundle - but without game links), and I just bought a bundle second time (got links properly and all was good) - first charge was reversed by IG support, and it took only 2 days and 2 emails exchanged, and I think it could have been faster if not for time difference and my totally irrational schedule.
P.S. hope everything works out good. Good Luck! oh, and Happy Holiday!

I am afraid that i might buy it againg...they will charge me for the second time, and still no games!

hmmm... I have more faith in IG ;)
btw - on your profile page do you have that bundle already (just without game links, like I had) - or not at all? If you do - make sure you check "gift" option when you buy it second time (links would be inside the "gift" - you don't have to send a gift to yourself, just open it from your profile and activate as usual).
If no, you don't have it on your profile bundle list at all - just buy it regularly, it should work fine.
And again - I would totally try to buy it again just to see if it works (it should). After all - you can charge back today, tomorrow, or up to 30 days as most CC policies works - if your experience with IG in general (and that bundle in particular) is bad and you don't get what you paid for.

i never had an issue with indiegala -because i never bought a bundle from them- but i read lots of complaints about them and how ridiculous their support is. i just checked my email to see how much it took humble bundle to reply a payment related email. 25 minutes.

Compare to Steam support... but lets not go there, I don't want to be responsible for starting a flame war. XD

So you paid via credit card (mastercard) AND paypal?

Were you double charged?

Did you receive the games?

There was saying that if I pay with mastercard, PayPal will get a small tax from my credit card...like +10 cent or something like that! No, i havent received no game...that's why i am asking what to do....

wow... and you still use them? Go Google Wallet! You will like it!
and no additional charges (unless currency converted, like on Bundle Stars - but that would be your CC and not GW)
As for your particular problem - check you card account online (if you haven't yet) - see if there's a charge pending to Paypal and/or IG. If no - you can buy IG bundle now using Google Wallet or other methods of payment (but not PayPal). Check again tomorrow - if there's still not one for Paypal - you are good (afaik).
Also check your Paypal account - if you have charges for IG there. If yes - stop it. If not - check again tomorrow, but you should be safe.

I've been having a problem lately and I was hoping someone here could help me figure out how to resolve it.

I've used Paypal to purchase from IndieGala in the past. However I've tried several times to purchase the current Majesco bundle (a friend and I want to play Double Dragon). It won't work.

It's not my card, because I've purchased two humble bundles during the time frame that I have been attempting to purchase the IndieGala bundle (several times).

I've contacted IndieGala (no real help there), and Paypal (whose support seems unable or unwilling to understand the problem). I've gone back and forth with Paypal a few times, taken their suggestions of using new browsers and clearing the cache, but it hasn't helped.

Paypal also did not work with Fiverr during this time (though again it did work with Amazon and HumbleBundle). I was willing to use my credit card on Fiverr though, and it worked fine (same card attached to paypal). I do not want to give IndieGala my card info though.

Advice? Thanks!

Might want to check all the info in your paypal to see if there's an issue

What do you mean by your PayPal doesn't work? Try to be a bit more specific. ;)
Also, did you already ask their support for assistance? They have good and fast customer support and just feel free to ask them.

Edit: PayPal may refuse certain transactions especially for virtual goods like Steam games, and it's possible that their automated fraud protection prevents you from purchasing.

As soon as I try to pay with Paypal I receive a message saying they can't process the payment. Of course on my credit cards there are more than enough money to buy the game. Their support is not very usefull from what I understand by reading the forums, and the fact DB Fighterz is a limited sale means even if they reply the sale will be over (if it isn't already, I didn't check).

Paypal worked all the times I bought from Indiegala, this is the very first time I receive this error, but apparently having problems with Indiegala payments is rather common.

Ok, that's very annoying and you just can't tell on which end the problem actually is, it could be either on PayPal's side or just as well on IG's side.
Since you said you want to pay via PP and credit card, I assume the problem is on IG's end, because normally PP refuses only direct debit transactions, whereas credit card payments typically are going through just fine.

I'm sorry for you, but it seems you won't be able to solve it in time. :/

No problem, 2game just launched a sale with the game for the exact same price from Indiegala, so I'll probably get it here.

if the currency of the card is different from the currency of payment, the payment may hang in the queue (money has been withdrawn from the card, but in fact the payment has not been made, it can be viewed in the Internet bank)

Nope, I checked the history and the payment didn't process at all. The funny fact is I used Paypal to buy multiple bundles in the past, so if it worked in the past it should work now, the account is exactly the same. I see there are other people on the Indiegala forums with the same problem, so I presume it's on Indiegala's end.
