As for adding in a way to keep buyers from purchasing more then once for a set amount of time. The fact is adding any new feature to a program requires not just programing the feature but integrating it with our system and then making sure it does not cause errors with other parts of our system. This feature requires our system to ignore orders if information in the order already matches a recent order in our system, this means that when the payment processor sends us the information on the order, we would then need to check the transaction log for your account and verify all the information that Paypal sends us, which will not include a PayPal login or credit card number, so we would be going on information like e-mail address, which most people have more then one of or IP address, which means if more then one legitimate buyer at say a coffee house wants to buy a product, they will not be able to. After getting that setup, we would need to design the interface and then still test it to verify it does not cause new problems with our system and finally release the feature to the general public.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieNinja http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 Fri, 23 Apr 2010 08:31:27 GMT
I really don't understand what is so hard about an optional throttle?

If user=new, limit purchase x1 in 72 hours.

The check box could be:

Limit first time purchasers to 1 purchase ever ___ hours.


I know Paypal is not designed well to handle digital goods, but a simple optional throttle, even with no options, would be a simple fix.

I can live with 1 fraud purchase per hacked account, but the 3-5 purchases begin to hurt.]]> E-junkie Discussions; schmezo http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 Thu, 1 Oct 2009 21:39:08 GMT
With 7000 merchants subscribed to use our service and logging their transaction details in our database, we have a very thorough grasp of both legitimate buying patterns and fraudulent patterns as well. The solution we're working on will work quietly in the background and is designed to block clearly fraudulent activity in a way that's nontrivial for fraudsters to work around (unlike simple email/IP blocks), yet without unduly affecting legitimate buying activity.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:21:43 GMT
As some one who has seen firsthand both sides of fraud, I'll tell you that it's not the guy who is going to change PP address or IP addresses that worries me. That takes time. Fraudsters have access to 100's of Paypal accounts true, but due to PP's fraud checks they don't always have a matching IP address, or similar computing environment. When they finally do find a PP account that works, their next step is to milk it for all it's worth, while keeping in mind not to trigger unusual usage patterns.

This is where my suggestion comes in, especially in regards to digital downloads. It would eliminate the effectiveness of a hacked paypal account that has passed these tests and are free for multiple uses. As soon as it works once, it's likely that it will be used again and again until depletion. If they then had to wait 2 6 or 12 hours between jobs, it would make it much less inviting.

Anyway, just a polite nudge to have another think about the idea. I'll leave it at that.]]> E-junkie Discussions; schmezo http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 00:04:58 GMT E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 04:26:26 GMT
On / Off check box. "Limit user to 1 purchase every _____ hours."


email/ ip address is added to blocked buyers list for the chosen time period, and then removed after the time has expired.


Possible? Hard to implement?]]> E-junkie Discussions; schmezo http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 07:27:08 GMT
I recently had an buyer attempt to get codes via a Paypal check, but was glad to see e-junkie didn't ship. The e-check later failed.

I have been using the techniques mentioned. Limited stock, buy now rather than a cart, and limit 1 seem to be working well.]]> E-junkie Discussions; schmezo http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 Fri, 31 Jul 2009 15:28:07 GMT
I do wish companies like PayPal would realise that there ARE users outside of the USA....]]> E-junkie Discussions; instantxboxgold.com http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 Fri, 31 Jul 2009 01:54:49 GMT
If you are configuring your products with Shipping/Buyer's Address, you can combine the block at PayPal's end with permitted Shipping Destinations you select in E-junkie Seller Admin > Cart Shipping Settings, so buyers would be unable to select a forbidden country in the cart nor during checkout.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 22:28:26 GMT

• Add adjustable time delay to delivery after completed payment. It seems some transactions are not immediately flagged for review which results in items being sent right before the review. A delay could possibly allow the PayPal or Google and the credit card systems time to catch up and flag the transaction prior to e-junkie sending product.


I could not agree more with that! That would be a HUGE plus. Paypal will usually suspect fraud in the first 5-10 minutes after the transaction goes through. So if you can set a timed delivery to anywhere from 1 minute to 12 hours i think that would eliminate a lot of problems, at least from what i have personally experienced.

In terms of manually accepting Paypal payments... yeah that's fine if your at your PC all day, which even if i was, i would prefer not to be anyway.

I have just recently been involved with E-junkie and selling codes. I went fully automated and all was great until a few little hackers stole a Paypal account or two and take everything you have in a short amount of time, even with limiting 1 per transaction.

I am looking forward to hearing if we can get that feature implemented in the near future.]]> E-junkie Discussions; xboxlivesource http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 Sat, 25 Jul 2009 05:29:21 GMT E-junkie Discussions; cartafina http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 00:43:27 GMT https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_contact-general]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 08:40:34 GMT E-junkie Discussions; instantxboxgold.com http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3498/pg/1#post14673 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 22:44:38 GMT

Whilst all of the above would greatly improve your product, I feel 1 of the work arounds you have given may help me (and perhaps Landro?)

I've been searching paypal and using their stupid Fembot help system to no avail. Can anyone tell me where you can trn on the ability to manually approve a payment?

Thanks
