    Hi all,

    Just got an email form someone on my mailing list who was about to buy a subscription to Wordtracker through my affiliate link but found that they don't accept PayPal.

    I'm stunned that they are turning down revenue this way.

    Anyone else come across companies who are excluding PayPal?

    Ta

    There are many companies that do not accept paypal,may be to prevent fraud,like user using the tool for 1 week or month and then opening a dispute.

    Maybe, but I wonder how much real business they are losing but restricting their payment options.

    Plus it "was" very easy to get a credit card and you can just as easily open disputes to get your money back.

    Hi, my name's Mal Darwen and I work for Wordtracker - we're more than happy to take a PayPal payment, and do so regularly, but as PayPal isn't linked in to our automatic system, we don't take PayPal from our front page. However, anyone who contacts us is more than welcome to use this method! (Mike, I've sent you a PM about this too).

    cheers,

    Mal
