Which is better- 2CO or Plimus?

    Guys,

    As the title suggests, I am trying to figure out the best option for 3rd party payment processing. Especially, when Paypal is not an option ( Indian users facing trouble from Paypal) the best services I have been able to figure out from my internet research are 2CO and Plimus.

    Anybody who has used one or both of these services? I am looking to sell subscription based service and Paypal is great but as an alternative which service is better overall?

    I think you can choose plimus...2CO requires you to have a site.

    Thanks guys. Read somewhere that Plimus is not really great with refunds and chargebacks?

    I am only going to sell subscription memberships to 100 odd members a month.

    I m inclining towards Plimus as well, 2CO looks archaic from the looks of their site.

    I have used 2CO and Plimus both and they are both good.

    2CO:

    They suck if you get a chargeback and would most likely close your account in case you get few chargebacks. (Happened to me)

    You have to pay a Sign Up fee of $49.

    Their payments are released weekly which is BEST

    Plimus:

    They are free and no fees are to be paid.

    They pay once a month unless you've large sales upto $20,000 per month (Which sucks, because your money is stuck for almost 45+ days).

    2CO is better. Although you need to pay start-up money, but they're more professional.

    Plimus free but their fee is high, eventually you will get less profit. Also, if you have refund/chargeback, they will deduct money from your account $15/refund (so not only you'll give the product for free, but you also give Plimus $15 and some people have their account balance negative because of this). When you want to withdraw via wire transfer, you must pay $21/transfer. They also pay you after 45 days. And they still can suspend your account with all funds in it.

    I disagree with that. I have been using Plimus for more than a year and never faced an issue except they cancelled a payment from client after 1 month.

    2CO is very loyal company, they are easy to work with. They have a verification procedure, however it is an adequate one.

    Have never dealt with Plimus, however heard positive feedback from those who use 2CO service (usually store owners).

    I hate 2CO so much because they delete my account without my confirmation. I have already paid $49 and the risk management wants me to provide them documentation like utility bill and id. I send them over and over again because they always said that they can't open my documents. I was really frustrated because they can't open it so I said that I want to delete my account and want a refund because it's not my fault you can't open my documents. They then replied to me that they will not give any refund and they will delete my account if I want. I replied to them immediately that I changed my mind and I assumed they wont delete it so I thought we will have to think of some alternative for my documents for them to received it. But they deleted my account after that and I don't know why! They also said that we cannot give your account back because it has been deleted. Can you believe that?! I have never thought that 2CO would do that to me!

    I don't want my clients to pay me via PayPal, I also don't want Plimus though they have lots of functionalities.
