  • That's strange, when i ran VMPort we used moneybookers, your business model is not really any different.

  • jarjar Patron Provider, Top Host, Veteran

    You were applying for a business loan?

  • I dropped MoneyCrookers years ago, people actually want to subject themselves to their abuse?

    Hum, how can you know the business model from a website ???
    Maybe they hacked it and read internal papers :P

  • MoneyBookers, I emailed them last month about their prepaid mastercard.

    They dint even answer to my question. They just told me they had increased my fees due to my business model(hosting).

    Not to mention I lost $800 due to their non-existing abuse/fraud dep last year. AVOID.

    I have never had an issue with them but I am aware of many hosts that have been rejected, the only constant I have found so far (I have not looked hard) is the TOS and AUP, primarily around refunds.

  • So generally if you are not a casino and don't sell viagra you don't qualify for their services :)

    On that site we offer a 7 day money back guarantee - dunno why that would be bad.

    Yea - I thought it sounded foolish since every transaction we would have made with them they get $$ - no collateral needed.

    Oh well we will use payza then.

    Good one :)

    The only reason I considered them is so that people from India can pay. We decided to go the payza route though.

    Yeah I read your terms, nothing I can see them having any issues with to be fair.

    I hear Payza are pulling the exact same crap since Alertpay was bought out, I know it can take months to get an application through now.

    Thought about 2checkout?

    Thought about them - but their rates are sooo high.

  • @Corey said: Thought about them - but their rates are sooo high

    Paypal, Google Checkout + CDG commerce.

  • @AnthonySmith said: Thought about 2checkout?

    These guys are only around for those who have been caught in all the usual scams already.

    @Corey I've used Payza for a long time with zero issues. Shocking actually as I've lost money in eGold, stormpay and a few others I can't even remember.

  • I dont see any business license info or address, that could be a issue. You could get back in touch with them and ask why. Most of the payment services have to send the information to the company that under writes them.

  • @HC_Ro

    http://www.yourdomaingoeshere.com/contact.php has our address (was unaware we needed to post our business license info on our website.... everyone I've worked for in the past hasn't done this either.)

    This page is a little messed up as well :O

  • I have been declined by a few and generally the rejection is something simple that their payment facilitator needs and then it gets resolved. Though if they didn't bother to mention why, or offer a resolution then fak em.

  • Yes, this normal for them - We received the same....

  • I've had an account with Moneybookers for a couple years. Decided to close it earlier this year and they decided to lock up all of my funds there for six months (still to expire). I wonder if I'll even manage to get my money out at all.

    @Zen, they are Russians? Their developers seem to be in Bulgaria and the Fraud department is in Romania or something, I don't really remember.

    We enjoy PayPal with micro payments option enabled 0.05USD + 5%. For payments <= 10USD it's cheaper then regular fees

  • LibertyReserve only offers credit card funding, not withdrawing

    well. you cant change their mind =)

  • @gbshouse said: We enjoy PayPal with micro payments option enabled 0.05USD + 5%. For payments <= 10USD it's cheaper then regular fees

    I said I was doing this to take payment from India.

    Payza/AlertPay didn't take a month to verify our website and we are IN now.... but they are holding every transaction for 15 days (that's ok.).

  • I would love to have the money to start a payment proccessor. Take the lessons we have learned from paypal on how not to do business. Take the failures of all the other payment systems out there.

    I am sure paypal is running the transactions at only a tiny bit over cost. $0.30 + 2.9% they are only a third party so have to pay a charge for thier merchant bank. Would love to see lower rates but it is probably not that far from what they get charged.

  • @Zen said: Fees just cover their costs for the transaction

    What are their costs for a transaction? They just decrement one number in their database and they increment another.

    MoneyBookers sucks, even if you got accepted they would hold your funds for 60 or 90 days then release it and then they would put a reserve on your account so you can't withdraw for another X days. We used MB for our old e-commerce business and we still have (3 months later since last payment) a £170 reserve (Can't withdraw £170 to "safe guard chargebacks")

  • @Zen said: Yeah, you could argue that its really quite shady to hold that much of a monopoly over financially sensitive data. But then I could argue 50 different stances when it comes to PayPal :P

    I think you understood my comment wrong.
