I don't get it, why Amazon + Paypal only and not direct credit card account in Cydia store?

Pretty annoying, no?
 
Not really. Using those two methods are for more secure then just throwing your credit card number around. Besides, who doesn't have one of those two accounts by now?
 
never tried but can you not select paypal then use your card to pay there without setting up an account
 
I for one feel much safer giving my payment information to Amazon than a relatively small group of jailbreak hackers personally.
 
Where on Cydia do you set up a payment system? I sure cannot find a link. I had a system set up with Amazon Pay, but the card I used for it expired, and there doesn't seem to be a way I can find to set up a new way to pay.

I would go to Amazon's website and update your payment information in there. That should allow you to just use that option when you go to pay for something in cydia

Cydia keeps trying to use an old credit card that expired years ago, even though it's not even listed on my amazon payments account anymore. Can anyone help?
