Hi friends,
I want a reliable and fast online payment transfer company, which can provide me shopping cart facility, online payment acceptance and online payment transfer facility. For all these services should charge reasonably low fees, should not have any hidden costs. I want to incorporate this into my online sales website.
someone says use the services of PayPal, another opinion group of friends say use the services of 2CheckOut. I Have read in many articles on Internet that users are not happy with PayPal or 2CheckOut. Some of my friends told me to use the services of www.*****.com , as this company provides services in 170 countries and there is no set up fee, no monthly fees, no hidden charges. Moreover it has shopping cart facility, online payment acceptance and online payment transfer facility.plus many other added features.
I want my friends to visit the website of www.*****.com and then tell me their opinion about the use of www.*****.com services.

Shakeel,
Not everyone can be satisfied with all merchant account providers.
To be quite honest, Paypal is a great service. If people have problems with Paypal, they more than likely did something wrong to cause them.
2checkout is fine, but sometimes their servers go down and make their service unavailable. I have heard that sometimes they do not calculate the balances correctly so you actually pay them more than what you should.
After many years of doing this, paypal has been the easiest for us.
Checkout clickbank.com.

though they may have very low fees many more people have accounts with paypal and probably feel more secure using it

Did you know you can transfer your funds from a paypal account into an ***** account? Anyway, I understand why people would feel somewhat insecure with switching to *****, but I think the risk is minimal and the rewards are to be taken into account. The choice is yours...

It's a nice site, although I can't find enough information about what I'm interested in, ***** that is. I hope it will be updated soon; otherwise I'll just have to find out stuff by myself.
Regarding paypal, I know it's quite popular and all, but considering all the bad press it's been getting, as well of all the frauds related to them, I'd really stay away from them. Then again, that's just me....

This whole thread smells of... Well if it look like... And is smells like... it probably is.
Seems to be either ***** is such a hot topic that it brought all these new people out to post about it. Or mabe Allan25r, blip, maverick and Shakeel Malik are all the same person. One big pile of spam waiting to get shovelled onto the compost heep. I could be wrong, but I've seen this tactic before.
If ***** want to spam us, I will give them the same respect as they show for this forum.
Infact, I've looked at all the previous posts of Allan25r, blip, maverick and Shakeel Malik. They only apear on paypal related threads and then only to promote ikibo and to denounce paypal. This is clear abuse of the forum.

I never noticed this before, but on closer inspection Rincewind looks to be right here. That's just not on is that, and all that time I tohught these were honest oppinions. Each of the 3 posters use the thumbs up smiley for *****, looks a bit fishy does that.
maverick
19 Jun 2004, 02:49 AM
Have you people heard about coincidences? Jesus, I only used that thumbs up smiley once, and now I'm labeled as a spammer or something like that. DO you think that smiley is *****'s secret handshake or something like that?
I was just trying to share my experience and try to give a helping hand, and this is what I get. Thanks a lot, cool forum; I'll probably get banned now for having something to say.

You won't get banned for having an oppinion as long as you express it in an appropiate way. On the toehr hand if there was evidence to suggest it was spam you prob would be banned. I' not in charge here so I couldn't tell you, but I have no idea how anyone could prove it, I just think it might be so, that's all.
Ok, I admit that i don't know if you are a spammer, I can't tell, and what do I know anyway. I can leave it at that.
maverick
19 Jun 2004, 03:37 AM
OK, I see. I think the way in which my opinions were expressed was appropriate enough. I can assure you I'm no spammer. I am sorry if I made anybody uncomfortable, but I needed to set things straight.

Ok, sorry for posting again, but I have a problem, my wallet (including my ikard) has been stolen, and I want to know what I have to do in order to get a new card. If anyone has had a similar experience, although I wish they hadn't, or just know what I should do, please help me! Thanks.

Can't you just email ***** to get them to stop the card just like a normal ATM card?
maverick
30 Jun 2004, 07:34 AM
I did that first chance I had. No problems there. Only now I want a new card and I want to know how to get new one.

Go to *****'s website and use their LiveChat system. It happened to me also and they sent me a new card with another PIN with free delivery.
maverick
30 Jun 2004, 07:44 AM
OK, thanks a lot, I'll try that and let you know if it works. I just want to get this problem over with. Thanks again for your help!
ment

Don't worry. They will sent you a new card express delivered. Also you will get the new PIN in your email. You don't have reasons to worry believe me. keep us posted.
maverick

Thanks, I did what you said and indeed they shipped me a new card which is on its way, they reset the old one and sent me a new PIN via e-mail. I guess now I only have to wait for the new card to arrive and I'm good to go! I sure hope so. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Yes. The new ***** iKard will be activated the moment you enter it in the ATM. In max 3 days it will arrive to your home , you will see. I didn't ask you I think; what are are you working in ? Do you have a merchant account with ***** ? I am interested in some details regarding *****'s merchant account.

Try *****.com and Western Union.. very reliable and very fast.

Try *****.com and Western Union.. very reliable and very fast.
Western Union doesn't seem like a good solution for me for two reasons:
1. It has very high fess compared to online payment systems
2. I cannot withdraw some money whenever I want
I'll stick to online payment systems. Much faster and much cheaper.

A while ago I had some problems with my ikard, as I already said before, but they did send me a new one indeed, and now I can use it just as i used the one that was stolen from me. Pretty nice, I thought I'd never get out of this one. :)
ment

I don't know if you are interested but the new cards from ***** can be used now for online purchases. I am not a big online customer but I think this is a good ideea. ***** keeps on bringing new features altough they are a relatively new company. This is a good sign ... I think ... :)

Considering the fact that we are the only people who post here, I think I am going to take a vacation now :) I will watch this thread but not post on it. Good Luck!
maverick
27 Aug 2004, 03:26 AM
Well, I suppose you're right. Since nobody else feels like joining in with questions/suggestions/problems whatever, either ***** related or regarding some other services of this type I suppose this thread should be closed. Is everybody :sleeping: ?

It's cos I don't use ***** so I don't say much, but I watch lol.
maverick

Well, we don't necessarily have to discuss ***** here. It's true some of us here are using it with good results, but since the topic is online money transfers I'd say the discussion is open to anything related to this. We can try and compare these types of services and try to find out who's the most convenient and why. Just a thought... :idea:

Are you using any online money transfer service ? If yes, tell us why is it better than ***** ? If it's better than I will surely use that too. Thanks.

Greetings all!
I've read over this post regarding *mainly* ***** and I will post my experience with them so you can all get an unbiased view of their services based on *my* personal experiences :) - hopefully it will help someone out (p.s. this was previously posted on another website forum of the same topic)
I have used ***** for almost a year now...my account has been blocked 4 times thus far, reason being - they need to verify my identity. No problem, I faxed them a photocopy of my DL and utility bill as they requested. After one week, my account was still blocked - long story short - I faxed over my information some 5 times and finally got to the point where I faxed over the information, faxed the confirmation sheet, and emailed the information/fax confirmation sheet to them...and miraculously after almost 2 months my account was unblocked (they never told me the reason it was blocked either, the reponse is - the computer automatically does this...yada yada).
Everything is fine - I'm dealing with a friendly customer service guy now. Two months later, my account is blocked again - so I shoot a quick email to Charile and my account is unblocked the same day and he offered a prompt apology. My point is, it should never have been blocked in the first place. Two weeks later, my account is blocked again - same email to Charlie and account unblocked within 24 hours with another prompt apology.
Well as it stands, my account has been blocked again b/c of their "computer monitering" and I've just sent my email to Charlie and I await his unblocking it yet again.
**Update** my account has been unblocked :) - but again, it should never have been blocked in the first place.
I truly do like ***** 's service - I use them to receive payments from my clients regularly, but their blocking does hinder my payment acceptance, so I definitely have a back up and accept many different payment processors which is truly the best way to cover you assets.
Also, some other things to know:
:bawling: If you want to have your $500 send/receive limit removed, you'll need to fax them a copy of you DL and utility bill - if you want a $1,000+ receive limit, be prepared to send them copies of your DL, utility bill, SSN card, birth certificate, bank statement, sworn character affidavit and your first born child (well I just added those last two, but it wouldn't surprise me if they eventually ask for it).
:confused: They only accept Visa and Mastercard (sometimes their "mastercard server" goes down and they only accept Visa - that is a lot less rare than one can hope, so just go with, they accept Visa only and Mastercard sometimes).
:redhot: I've had clients mention that ***** tells them that they don't live at their own address (i.e. the billing address doesn't match on the card) when I know these clients, have received many payments from these clients, and their billing information...so, sometimes their system is glitchy when verifying payment info (this is more rare than the "mastercard server" going down so it's not that big of a deal).
:D They are a great service b/c their ATM card makes accepting payments quite convenient although it would be MORE convenient if they had direct bank deposit (which has been "coming soon" for some 6 months now) and I do enjoy their verification process which deters fraud and a few other things, so I see these as minor annoyances - but each person needs to decide for themself...shop around.

I like them too especially because of their iKard, but my account was never blocked. I think their system is somehow strict but then again I have never heard of paypal_like_frauds happenining with *****. So in conclusion, better have to sentd an e-mail to unblock your account then to find your account empty like many paypal users did. Peace.

Well, some may like ***** while others think they're a little hard to use. I for one haven't had any of the problems mentioned by theuniek1, not to that extent anyway. What I mean is that I also sent them some documents, but only in the beginning after creating my account. Maybe I've been lucky so far or something like that, I'm not sure. What I can say is that so far they've been treating me alright. We'll see if that will stay like this in case (and I really hope that it won't be the case) some problems may arise. Till now things are ok...
