Just wondering if any of you guys have used this service? Seems they have much the same TOS as Paypal, but a little cheaper, 10.00 refferals, 1.7 % on tranactions for business accounts. IVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ONE AND WANTED TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS.

There's some things about it I'd ask myself questions on. 1st, why is a payment service having to use a web hosting service? 2nd, if they are offering 'international payments' why is there no information on the mechanics of the operation? 3rd When I looked at the site a few days ago how you could put any name and password in and you'd get an "HTTP: Error 404"? (they've since changed that blunder) 4th why would they copy PayPal terms word for word, to the point it was obviously a cut and paste job? 5th and most important, why would the administrator of the site have a [email protected] email address?
I take chances, but I'm also cautious at times... I'll remain cautious on this one. Let me know how it works out.

I had some of the same thoughs on this one, I am little leary. Just wondering if anyone had actually had any experience with them. Seems like a scam to me, but wanted to get the word out that they're sending out theses e mails. I wanted to see if theyre a real service or just a scam, hopefully prevent anyone from getting taken!

Stay away from this one! It's either an outright fraud or someone doing an experiment to see if he can fool people into giving their CC info. The owner of the site registered with a Yahoo email. The phone number is not answered even during business hours. I emailed with specific questions and got a reply from 'customer service' with no name and a yahoo email answering that they follow 'standard procedures' without explaining what this means. No specific questions were answered. It takes a few million dollars to launch a paypal or payplace. It takes corporate executives, a staff and a real web server. These people (assuming it is more than one person) have none of this.
