Hey, hello everyone.
Im from Portugal, i use (eur). and i wanna gift a turkish friend in Fortnite. but they dont have any payments like me, paypal, paysafecard, things like that. only bank stuff. i have cc, but idk how to make a transfer, and in some way, i dont want to.
So,.. someone know how to do that incredible thing ?
** If someone from turkey, use steam, and wanna help me, like, you pay. and i can give you 2x, maybe 3x what you pay, in steam itens.

With the best regards, DreamsFrv

Any person with bank account and debit card can use paypal. It's not only for cc. So your friends need to

  1. Go to local bank,
  2. Open account,
  3. Ask for debit card (MasterCard or Visa (but not Maestro or something like that))
  4. Open paypal account,
  5. Link paypal account to this card.
  6. ....
  7. PROFIT!!!

Yep, so as Ruaben offered - Western Union is your choise. Best way - if there are WU ofices in your city, it's cheapest way. Otherway you can transfer money from your bank account through WU system to your friends (it's not so cheap as transfer from WU ofice). But they need to have WU ofice in their city or bank account. Absolutely not a problem for Antalya, Ankara, Izmir or Istanbul, and not a problem for another 81 turkish cities

I think best idea is to find a trader or someone from turkey willing to do that, and pay in steam related things/games/keys/paypal. Good luck. It might be easier if your Turkish friend had some turkish friends who might be interested to help.

Googled it and they all have $5+ fees so... rip or still rip-ish but maybe worldremit one time

Seems like an oversight for Fortnite to not have a gifting friends option in-game. I know many mmos have them in some way.

Western Union? Pretty much all post offices CTT in Portugal have that. Millennium BCP also has that if I remember correctly.
I don't know if Turkey has Western Union, but it must have something similar.

You don't need a bank account to use western union. Just the cash and some info of the guy you want to send to. I don't know exactly how it works, but it works. Search online, go to the post office(vulgarly known as os correios) and ask them, call, I don't care, and ask how it works.

Out of curiosity, what's your bank? I'm pt btw.

ah i see, well depending on how thrustworthy the friendship is you could always log in on his account and buy it like that maybe? Or use a program like teamviewer where you take control of his pc so you can purchase it on his account.
Otherwise you can send money online through https://www.westernunion.com/pt/en/send-money/app/start for example. You should also be able to send it to turkey as an international transfer straight from your bank. takes a bit longer to get to him though

Edit: is this on pc btw? cause i just read that buying vbucks is platform specific(pc bucks only work on pc) unless that changed ofcourse.

if i do that, the only options that appears in site is cash.
But you know how it works ? like, i pay on site, and he can go instantly pick the money at the bank ?

i'm not really sure how it's works now, my father used to send money to his brother with Western Union. I do know that when he send it, his brother went to a shop in his country the same day and got the money.
But try to find how exactly it works on this page https://www.westernunion.com/pt/pt/customer-support-topics.html.

Oke something real stupid but it seems to work...I mean, i get different options when i select my country instead of turkey.

log in with his account there : https://www.epicgames.com/account/personal and change country to Portugal. Go ingame and buy what you need, then change country back to turkey

I'm not a Fortnite player so I don't know how their shop system works, and I'm not very knowledgeable about Turkey and what money transfers they have available but can't your friend give you his account and then you login to it and buy vbucks or whatever on it?

Problem: They dont have the same payment methods like all europeans. they only have 3 bank payment methods. and 2 of them are banks in turkey, or something like that, i never understood. and they have a 5, that its like paysafecard, or giftcard for people in usa

what is the name of the giftcard you can use in turkey? Maybe you can buy the giftcard online somewhere

You can use the Steam gift cards system to give him money directly to his wallet. He will be able to use it inside the Steam system.

I'm a bit confused; do you want to give your friend actual money, or some sort of in-game currency? Because if it's the latter, looks like you might just need to wait a bit: https://www.vg247.com/2018/06/12/it-looks-like-fortnite-might-be-getting-a-gifting-system-sometime-soon/
