Hello! I have a site and I want to sell links!!! What is better Clickbank or 2CO? The registration fee is $49! Clickbank accepts PayPal. It's a big + for me, because I live in a non supported country! 2CO has smaller fees ($0.45 per Sale, 5.5% of Sale Amount) Clickbank fees ($1 per Sale, 7.5% of Sale Amount) And what do you think!
recurring payments = subscription, so it automatically takes fees from the buyers account every set amount of time. Extremely useful if you charge monthly for links.
Thanks! But I don't need those 'recurring payments'! It will be a one time fee! If somebody buys a link it will be on my site forever!
I think 2checkout is the better one, but the advantage with clickbank is there marketplace and big amount of affiliates. //Andreas
I have been looking at ClickBank and 2checkout.com. What draws me to ClickBank is their integrated affiliate system. As a publisher I could easily manage affilaites that advertise my products. I have read on the Internet something that I can't really confirm on ClickBanks terms. I have heard that as part of the agreement in order to receive your payment from ClickBank you must get at least four sales from four different U.S credit cards. I have never heard of anything so absurd. Has anyone heard this rumor? I have read through ClickBanks various policies and terms and have seen no mention of such a stipulation. I know that you must have accrued a certain amount of transactions before they send payment as well as they keep a reserve fee for 90 days.
Do you have any recommendations. I do know, though, that 2checkout.com is not very friendly at all towards merchants in regards to disputes or chargebacks. When I was looking in to using 2checkout.com, I was told that a $15 fee is charged to a merchant anytime a chargeback is filed. It does not matter whether the chargeback was warranted or not. In other words, a customer buys from me, receives the digital product the files a chargeback. Even though I can prove that the customer downloaded/accessed the product and is basically committing fraud, 2checkout.com still charges me a fee. Now, I just read 2checkout.com's dispute fees. It seems the basic "screw the merchant" philosophy is alive and well except theres MORE fees. First is 2checkout.com's philosophy of how they feel about disputes: That confirms that 2checkout.com could care less if merchants are being ripped off and customers may be committing fraud by filing a false dispute claim. Next is 2checkout.com's list of dispute charges: The information above can be found on https://www.2checkout.com/documentation/op_regs_a.html I feel that a merchant should not be charged a fee, especially such an exhorbant one, if they can prove that the customer did receive the merchandise and/or the merchant is in compliance with the terms set forth on their sales page. I am a firm believer in consumer rights. My website is on consumer advocacy, but I don't beleive the consumer should have the right to rip off a merchant. In my case i will be selling ebooks I write. People will have the option to read parts of the ebook and to have full access they will need to purchase the ebook. I will be lucky in the sense that the design of the ebook will give an automatic refund, however, it will lock the ebook back to it's prepurchased state. Some writers aren't so lucky and they end up distributing a full-fledged copy of their ebook when you purchase it. Or, they may have a system that distributes passwords to unlock the ebook, but once unlocked unscrupulous people may claim they want their money back. These thieves will try to get their money back while having a fully-functional version of the ebook.
