Although i dnt have personal exp. But hv heard ppl say that its one of the best Thr are lot of people in DP who use Plimus..so u can expect good reviews abt Plimus
I just registered with plimus, though i didn't really find the design professional, I loved the features they offered, really awesome. But. . I told my client to pay through the Buy Now page (I was all excited to have my own page for that) and he got freaked out when he looked at the form. refused to give out all that information :S great, people obviously have to fill out all that information when they're just paying through credit card but when its paypal i think plimus should only ask for username password or something. Is there a way to fix this?
how much they charge per transaction? Can we do bank transfer (to india)? is there any fee for that ? thanks
Well, as for the order form design, you could customize it to your needs to some extend if you want to. I actually find the full mailing address option to be a godsend especially for Paypal orders. The reason why is that this would help stop a lot of paypal fraud because now those buying need to think twice about trying to cheat you. If it is just a username and password then anyone with a fake account or stolen account and just pay you and then you would have numerous nightmare cases in your hands with lots of chargeback and disputes. If the customers have nothing to hide, I am sure a little information they provide would certainly go a very long way in protecting both you and your customers. Now someone who stole a paypal account cannot provide fake information or else the transaction would be flagged.
Fees per transaction would depend on the price of that item. See http://www.plimus.com/pricing.shtml Yes, you can do a bank transfer (wire transfer), check, paypal, ACH or opt for the Payoneer Debit Card option to get your funds. All options are free except for wire transfer which would cost between US$15 (Local Currency to selected countries) to US$21 (US Dollar) per transfer and check US$2.50.
thanks. they haven't provided the bank transfer details in their site. and it required to register to know the details. just to confirm, can we transfer the money to paypal without any charges? I need to know all these details before creating an account with them. but they have provided in their site. Lol!
Yes, you most certainly can withdraw to paypal without any charges. They would be using Mass Pay to pay you and you can receive the funds in any account from the Personal, Premier or Business account without paying a Paypal fees. Plimus would pay any fees from their end and this option is totally free for you. As for Bank transfer, they will require the basic information from you which is your name, your bank account number, routing / swift number, Bank name, Bank Address, Bank contact number, Intermediary/Corresponding Bank Name, Swift and Country .
Plimus is great. i switched from paypal to plimus several months ago. Paypal often limits the account whenever they feel like it, or when someone starts a dispute. So i tried to find something more reliable. I been using Plimus for 4 months now, and im very happy with them. The features they offer are good, the support is great, they dont limit your account. Downside is that its a bit more expensive then paypal though. Im still using paypal, mostly to make payments but i definately prefer plimus.
Thanks for your comments. I am also thinking start using plimus. however, their charges are very high
Well, with their highly successful fraud detection system, the little price you pay for their service is really worth the while. It sure is better than getting fraud every few days and spending time trying to combat that. Plimus give you the peace of mind to concentrate on other aspects of your business. Their fees isn't high for professional service such as theirs, it is pretty much close to industrial standards. Paypal spoilt the market by offering below market fees and they did it by compromising on service and fraud detection.
Plimus is not like Paypal. Paypal is more a virtual currency which was started to support the online auction services where physical items are being bought and sold. Plimus on the other hand is a 3rd party payment processor which was started to support virtual sales and delivery of virtual products such as software, it would help you collect payment online from your customers which includes credit card, purchase orders, local bank account transfers, checks and paypal. Since Plimus supports virtual items, they have a state-of-the-art fraud detection system which Paypal does not have. However because of the enhanced security, Plimus would cost a lot more than Paypal when it comes to collect funds but certainly worth the sense of security you get. As I've mentioned earlier, Plimus is not a virtual currency and all it does is allow you to receive payments but you cannot pay others using money you accumulate in Plimus like how you do in Paypal. The other thing is that with Paypal, you decide when you want to withdraw your money while with Plimus, funds are automatically sent to you on the 15th of the following month to either your bank account, paypal, via check or payoneer card. Paypal only offers 40 of 190 supported countries the ability to receive payments while Plimus does not have any restriction on countries and supports beyond the 190 supported countries and allow all of them to receive money online.
Yes, like I said in the post before yours, Plimus specializes in virtual items which would include services. As long as it is not listed in the Prohibited Items http://www.plimus.com/prohibited.shtml , it would be okay.
As witness most of the other threads on this forum -- on a bad day, half the threads can be (a) "I got a chargeback for selling a digital product via Paypal" and the other half are (b) "Can someone verify my paypal with a VCC before I get banned?" Far be it from me to suggest that the existence of type (b) posts is a contributing factor in the number of type (a) posts...
