badjuju Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 I know there are threads about this, but from other boards 2Checkout seems to be having some major problems - going back 3 months. I was going to sign up with them because I'm a web hoster but it seems the recent problems are way out of hand. No access to funds, account locked out, no response from 2Checkout, etc. I sent out emails to merchant account companies hoping to get a discount rate for bulk account signups - so i'll update later. Anyway, I'd love to hear your comments on 3rd party processors like 2Checkout. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westkoast Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Yup that seems to be pretty standard 2checkout behavior... Unfortunate that there isn't a site like 2checkout that has their act. together...5% of the 10mill they've processed this year is a big chunk of change! You'd think other sites would step up with a competitive tool... I need to read the rules more often... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ockert Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I use 2checkout, and they are not paying on time (which is every 14 days), They are sitting with $1000 of mine, for which the first sale occurred a month back. They do not respond to email and trouble tickets, they do not publish their phone number, which I found by playing detective, When u phone them, they are very cocky, they told me it was an innocent system mistake and I will get paid in the next cycle, which means I waited 90 days for the money from the first sale. O yes, and "Andy" put the phone down in the middle of our conversation. I'm seeing warning lights... CAn anybody recommend another processor where u do not need a merchant account? ockert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardsandwars Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 All 3rd party payment processors are going to give you problems. It is *very* simple and *very* easy to get your own merchant account/gateway, and it is *much* less expensive than using 2checkout. Why would you want to use a third party? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: As of Oct 2006, I'm not as active in this forum as I used to be, but I still work with osC quite a bit. If you have a question about any of my posts here, your best bet is to contact me though either Email or PM in my profile, and I'll be happy to help.
