you'd think they'd have these in America as well. I can't tell you how many times I bought a game for a friend just hoping he'd pay me back

Well maybe you should make some sort of verbal agreement, rather than hoping for it.

Strange, this thread claims that Paysafecard is still not available for Steam. What is true? Maybe this guy is from a country that's not supported now?

Difference between this and a prepaid visa?

He is from Romania which is supported by paysafecard (according to their website) but it is possible that Steam hasn't added all the regions that paysafecard supports. At the time of this news post the regions I included were given by Doug Lombardi. There is so little information on the Steam site now for this payment method which is very strange. The only mention of it is in the Steam support section for troubleshooting payment problems:

My PaySafeCard purchase failed

Please attempt your purchase again using a web browser instead of the Steam client. If possible, please use Internet Explorer 7+ or Firefox to complete this transaction.

When using PaySafeCard as your payment method, after filling your code you will be automatically re-routed back to the Steam client which will confirm your purchase. This process can take up to 60 seconds. To avoid purchasing failures, please do not hit your back button or close the PaySafeCard window before this process is complete.

If you still encounter errors, please contact Steam Support with a screenshot of the issue you are encountering and we will continue to troubleshoot the issue.
