Does Paylpay support suck sh*t? I am trying to setup a new business (selling software online, our own app on Windows platform)/startup here and ran into some payment issue. Took forever and their customer support + technical team kept bouncing the request to another.
Any recommendation? Alternatives you'd recommend?
Thanks

What about digital river / element 5 etc? No experience of using them....

No idea, never used any of them (other than for buying stuff).
You will need to look at their pricing structure and features and compare it to the other resellers.
See which one fits your needs.

seems like many of these vendors charges some 5% per transaction (blood suckers but well they earned it yike)

You could always set up your own website and use sage world pay, or setup an online store on the likes of 1&1, just depends how much effort you want to do yourself.
If they take 5%, just at 5% to your original price to compensate.

yes I think 5% is ok ...

We are using PayPal for few months now, and so far didn't have any issue with the money. But we don't have that many transactions either.
But at the time of the setup there were few annoying things, like we forgot to setup a 'Reason of Transfer' in the Bank Details, and there were zero notifications of any kind about it, and we waited for three weeks before knowing from the customer support that why our account was stuck on "Pending Verification" stage (They couldn't point out what is missing, just told us that some info is missing from our side, and we click through every single page to figured it out. Before this we thought that Bank needs to verify our account).
I have contacted their customer support few times, the odd thing is you will get an automated response the same day with some possible links to help section, which is never useful. and then next day you will get response from a real person.
I would suggest you to skip the technical support, and try to implement it yourself. I have implemented by referring to their developer help section.
In India we have only few options for Payment Gateway (the local ones are even worse than PayPal), but try following options if your country is supported.
- Stripe[^]
- Amazon Payments[^]
- Google Checkout[^]
Also keep in mind to pick the popular one, because a very popular payment gateway in India is blocked by most of the Credit Card companies in USA, because it is not popular over there.

Thanks Rutvik - but I don't think we want to implement payment gateway ourselves and yes their immediate auto-generated response is absolutely useless. What really pissed me off is, the next day this Customer Support guy told me i should contact their Tech team instead (15 lines email ending "I'd be glad to provide further assistance" bullsh*t - who in turn told me nothing wrong tech side and that I should get back to the Customer Support team. I did, and they didn't even respond for a couple days.
Google Checkout - wonder if China blocks it as well?

I'm just 'reading'* the third of John Birmingham's 'Without Warning' trilogy.
Not usually the sort of book I would read - but it looked like science fiction which is what I mostly read, so I got it and am enjoying it.
What you gun nuts will love about it is the deliciously intricate details he gives about the weaponry used. (I don't know how accurate it is)
There's no "Bob pointed his gun and 'Bang!' Jim died"
More like "Bob aimed the 423mm powder-coated hardened steel barrel of his Kalashinkov SK372; he applied 0.34 Lbs of pressure on the contoured trigger, and 6 of the the hollow point 7mm rounds left the barrel at 764 mph within a second, crossing the 12 meters between them in less time that it took the sound of the explosion, causing Jim's head ...
Well, you get the idea (you also get the idea that I know nothing about guns, so frankly would skip those bits were I reading it)
* I'm listening to it on audio downloaded from my local library - how jolly civilised!

If you haven't read them The Axis of Time Trilogy' is worth a read. 21st Century task force sent back to World War II though a time warp, great but what happens when your supplies start drying up??? Worth a read.

I did start to read them, but my lack of historical knowledge made them a little less enjoyable, I think!

Well I suppose I am little more knowledgeable in regards to that bit of History (my parents had me late in life, and were children during WWII, meaning I was raised on diet war movies, comics and now the History channel).

There is probably one (Based on posts by member on guns) on CP who can comment about authenticity/accuracy of details on GUN and that would be Roger Wright
There can be more on CP who are expert of guns, don't shoot me....!
Thanks,
