Popbuying Deal Thread : Discounts as of June 14th, 2010

[Nothing]

For me the only reason to use Paypal outside of ebay is not having to entrust the security of my credit card details to every single company I buy from.
But I would have no problem with ordering from Popbuying again if you used of a well known and trusted online credit card processing company.

since my dad places the orders for me, he's thinking that the CC payment is a bit unsafe. apparently you can just take the money out of it? (sorry, i know nothing about this stuff

Google Checkout?
https://checkout.google.com/sell
Amazon Payments?
https://payments.amazon.com/sdui/sdui/index.htm

Or are those US/Canada only?

This site (example) accepts 4 methods of payment >_> (Checkout, Amazon Payments, Paypal, Direct Funding from a card.)
With a discount when you pay with direct funding ("member price").

I prefer PayPal to credit card.

They said we have AUP problem that will stop us use them any more.
Paypal is a good company with many restrictions and rules.
But we are not lucky to go with them together.

Is it a problem with your cube items or with something else? Your cube items look alright. Like someone else suggested earlier, maybe you could create a shop just for your cube items, that would make it nicer for us anyway. I doubt many here are interested in your other items at all. Of course it depends on whether it's worth it for you, but then again you even visit us here

Google Checkout?
https://checkout.google.com/sell
Amazon Payments?
https://payments.amazon.com/sdui/sdui/index.htm

Those look interesting. At least the Google one, I admit the Amazon one looked to confusing, didn't know where to start reading and just gave up.

For me popbuying literally died . . .

What is the trouble with PayPal, why did they "close" your account?

Doesn't "AUP problem" mean that something is illegal? :confused:

At least that is what it seems like from https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?&cmd=_render-content&content_ID=ua/AcceptableUse_full

If you use a CC payment method, if the card is processed in a country other than U.S., we here in the U.S. will be charged by the bank a fee for foreign currency. At least with most CC.

The charge would have to be in the U.S. with U.S. dollars in order to avoid fees.

Yes. Good idea.

Yes. Good idea.

I personally would like to purchase the other items too.

This happens to be a cube forum, so people here only want the cubes. But there are many other customers who are waiting to buy the other products!

I agree with you Stefan.

 

[cubedude7]

Do you know when those technical problems at Popbuying will be fixed?
I'd like to order something

 

[Cena Cube]

Pre-paid card should work fine. Popbuying recognizes it as any other credit card. I have always used it with popbuying. I never had a paypal account. but pay with credit card on paypal. It is meant to be used as a regular credit card. Same pins and everything. The only thing is if you dont have enough money on it, it will decline. lol even 1cent happened to because of currency exchange rate

So you could go to the other store that doesn't offer Paypal and order as normal. This wouldn't hurt business in any way.

 

[UnstoppableWalnut]

Special site PayPal only for cubes doesn't make sense.

PayPal should say why AUP was violated.

 

[dillonbladez]

yah. it was prolly for nintendo stuff (R4s and crap leik that)

Thanks for trusting us.
We concern the security of your card info, too.
So, once it launched, we think it's ok for us all.
Only annoyed us is that we can use the Credit Card as your payment
method, compared with the time when we use Paypal before.

Atually, CC payment works nearly the same way like Paypal.
We can't take it without your confirmation.
After some researches and investigations, our CC payment is worth trusting and
it's really safe.
