PayPal seriously sucks. But the only way to pay to use e-junkie is PayPal or check for a year... With all the other payment processors out there, why only PayPal? Also it seems like e-junkie has hit all the major bases for payment processors. Ex. PayPal to pretend like it’s a bank while avoiding actually becoming a bank to avoid federal regulation, and holds all of your money until you request it. Google Checkout that only holds your money for two days then deposits directly into your bank account. Authorize.net that deposits directly into your bank account with no stops, and TrialPay that which is just weird. But what about other options that are similar to those? There are tons of them out there. While I am hoping for some kind of light on this grey area I honestly cannot say I expect anything to change. I have mentioned quite a few things both through the forums and email that get the same cookie cutter response. We will pass it up to our development team. Then find out later the same ideas had been mentioned long before I had said anything and been requested by many to never be implemented. e-junkie is awesome for the basic purpose of click, pay, get. But personally I am running into a wall because I refuse to use PayPal any longer and there is no way in hell Im sending a check for a year when my subscription changes so much. # POSTED ON: July 26, 2010 @ 11:15 GMT -7 |

Although we support a variety of payment processors that sellers can use to accept checkout payments, we only accept subscription payments for our service that are processed through PayPal -- whether sent from your PayPal account or just using a credit card that we authorize through PayPal's site, and whether paid month-to-month or a year in advance -- because that has covered nearly every circumstance, and that's what our system has been programmed to handle so far. "Necessity is the mother of invention," and thus far there has simply been no need for us to invest in maintaining an account of our own with any other payment processor, nor in programming modifications into our account-management system just to handle a handful of exceptions. With over 9200+ subscribers currently paying to use our services, we simply cannot make custom exceptions for everyone who would prefer to have one, when either of the options we accept should cover every actual need, if not necessarily every want or preference. If you don't want us to authorize your own credit card numbers through PayPal for an annual deposit payment, you can get a disposable Visa/MasterCard gift card and use that instead, or obtain a single-use "virtual card number" from your regular card issuer. You can still upgrade your subscription level on an annual-deposit plan anytime, upon request; we'll just send you a payment link to make up the prorated difference using the larger plan for the remainder of your prepaid year. # POSTED ON: July 26, 2010 @ 14:57 GMT -7 |

Seeing my card numbers is not my concern. Not using PayPal at all is. But rather than waiting for that "necessity" to happen and have bridges already burned it seems like accepting other payment processors would be more of a common sense move to expand e-junkies business base. More options = more sellers and more buyers for sellers. But why worry about handfulls? Adolf only had a handfull of follows when he started into politics. Or maybe Im just crazy! # POSTED ON: July 26, 2010 @ 15:16 GMT -7 |
