cschell Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hello international classic gamers, I'm looking for suggestions / experiences with ways you've paid for things in the US other than paypal / credit cards? I will avoid the plug here, but I am selling items and will likely have customers from outside the US and would like to know what methods of payments have worked well for you so I can suggest them to my customers. Unfortunately paypal is not an option as they have decided that my products violate their acceptable use policy. Any suggestions for methods to use or methods to avoid would be appreciated.

lucifershalo Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 hello Chad, interesting situation seeing that it concerns me directly being in Belgium and seeing that I am interested in CC3 like that the only options I can think of are 1.international money order 2.western union like transfer 3.cash in registered envelope 4.paying with paypal anyway but being "unprecise" about the item purchased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I'll pay any way you want if I can have a CC2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 International money order springs to mind, but they have to be posted, so adds to delays and costs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathtrappomegranate Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I've used international bank transfer before. The fees are pretty steep, but not unmanageable for high dollar value items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I receive many international orders and I accept two types of payments for them through the AtariAge Store: PayPal and International Money Orders drawn on US Funds. Credit cards are good also if you have a merchant account. Money orders are better since you don't have to pay any PayPal fees, plus the buyer can't yank the funds later (which I've had happen twice with international PayPal payments). They obviously take longer to arrive, though! I've also had bank tellers give me strange looks when I've presented them with odd looking Japanese money orders. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Oberhäuser Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) To be honest, I don't see any other payment solutions than Credit Card of Paypal. 1.international money order Extremly slow and expansive. 2.western union like transfer Extremly expansive. 3.cash in registered envelope Very high risk. Just my 2 Euro cent Marc. Edited May 2, 2007 by Marc Oberhäuser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 or find a european agent to handle the payments and send you a transfer every week/month. Has to be someone you trust tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cschell Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 So far I'm thinking the international money order sounds like the best solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacMan Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Unfortunately paypal is not an option as they have decided that my products violate their acceptable use policy. How in heavens name did that come about ? I would have believed that your products and similar products was just what Paypal was for. /P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 so when is the re-release of the CC2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
