It is nice to know I am not alone. Perhaps someone will sort it out.

Welcome to the nightmare that is Bank credit Card Companies.
We are working on the UK problem. We have no idea why, but every time we do a new product, they play “country roulette” and pick one for us not to be allowed to sell to. We yell at them, they say something like “Oh, yeah, we can fix that” and then next week it will be some other thing.

Please accept my apology, but let it be known we are working quickly on it.

We think we nailed it. One company uses GB for the UK code, and other OTHER bank uses UK for the UK code.


Please try again, and thank you for your patience.

I guess they don't like discover either . It wouldn't take my card and I even called discover and they said there was no attempt for a perches . And I have a very large credit line free with them . So I guess until they fix that , I can't buy it .
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Yup, alsow welcome to the game of Credit Cards. I just found out Discover will not be accepted for another week. Amazing isn't it? Pisses me off too. they make this all so difficult. We go live with another product next week (not a screen saver), and we will go through all of this again. Even though htye KNOW it is COMING.

thank you for your patience.

Exclamation Payment Options

Have you considered or looked into accepting PayPal as a payment option in addition to credit cards?

Not sure how the surcharge is for the seller, but you get payments quick and no country issues.

We would rather wait the 5 days or so, instead of being pillaged by PayPal.

Thumbs Down Best Beta I've seen

Russell,
I all I can say about GA v.09 Beta is it's excellent!! .
I paid my $14.95 ($24.00 AUD) without even downloading the demo first and it was worth it.
I also have MA, MA2 and this is just as brilliant if I may say so (sorry Jim).
If this is only a taste of what the final version is going to be like then we are all in for a real treat.

Keep up the excellent work.

Regards,

I have a PayPal debit card.

It was free, no credit check, has a Mastercard logo on it.

I've used it at retail stores and ATM's. I assume it would work for on-line purchases.

PayPal takes a huge cut of the profits. I couldn't afford them when I was selling the Aquarium, and apparently Prolific can't either.

Right, but my point on the credit card is that Prolific wouldn't have to do anything special or pay anything to paypal.

If people want to use PayPal and a vendor isn't using them, then they just need to use their PayPal debit card just like they would use their bank debit card.

The Vendor would pay whatever commission or fee they already pay for using mastercards. Nothing special.

Things may have changed in the 2 1/2 years since I checked PayPal's requirements, but if the vendor only paid the normal credit card fee, then PayPal wouldn't make anything on the sale, since their underwriting card service would charge them the same amount.
