Jobs in Greece are more important rather than reporting the employer for not accepting a foreign salary iban.
Definitely, but you can still report them and take the job?
probably noā¦cause they will blacklist you.
How would they know who had reported them?
because you will ask it and they will tell you no!
People in Greece never ask what bank they want to be payed.
Employee will tell you what bank will pay you.
For example, you go and work to a company āAā and they will tell you to open a bank account in the bank that they have the company(lets say Alpha Bank). Then you find another work in company āBā and they tell you to open an account in (Eurobank). (if not have an account in Eurobank).
So most people face this in Greece.
Wow. That is extraordinary. The only scenario where Iāve seen anything similar in other European countries is where one is employed by the bank itself.
What about Spotify? As itās not accepting :R cardsā¦
As a workaround: PayPal.
Very good advice to use PayPal. In any case, the lowest prices for Spotify are outside the EEA, where this EU legislation doesnāt apply and using PayPal is a necessity if you donāt have a locally-issued card. The following Spotify pricing index shows the Philippines as being the cheapest country:
I was getting this with paypal
But then I tried with virtual card instead of disposable it worked itās weirdā¦
Because PayPal charges the card to verify its realā¦ so the disposable card would be destroyed.
I still canāt top up my Spanish Vodafone account with a card that was not issued in Spain.
Same with SimYo, Iāve reported them. You can also do this: ECCNET-ES@ec.europa.eu (for Spain)
Yes, the e-mail address is eccnet-??@ec.europa.eu where ?? is the 2-letter top-level domain for the country. Itās not clear whether you have to complain in your own country or whether you can complain in the country of the non-compliant business. For example, the UK service will take reports from UK residents about businesses outside the UK or about non-UK residents about businesses in the UK, whereas the Belgian service will direct you to their colleagues in your country of residence if you complain to them about a business in Belgium.
It seems that the worst offenders are mobile phone networks.
I hate doing this via Paypal and not able to use in Spotify as UK card and in non-UK country
I cannot put as a payment method as it is UK card and Iām registered in Bulgarian Spotify, it says my card country is different than my country ?! (this was at the beginning of 2019, then Iām using via paypal since than)
How they can reject card based on geo-restriction?!
If Spotify leaves you with no option but to use PayPal, why not change your Spotify country to the Philippines? PHP 129 (ā¬2.20) is the cheapest globally that you can pay for Spotify, which you can pay via PayPal using Revolut.
Have you reported Spotify to eccnet-bg@ec.europa.eu?
Did not report it (yet) but will.
In my case I am resident in Spain and have a Vodafone Spain sim card, I can top it up in a shop with my non Spanish bank account card (Revolut) but not on line on Vodafones web site, although I can pay via a 3rd party top up site. I have only found Orange to accept payment with cards that are not issued in the same country as the mobile account.
This does appear to be widespread with mobile phone providers.
