Their name - no one knows them and the payment screen is very poor as it does not ease the client into paying Has to be a UK credit card as well Plus side is no reg were as Paypal UK does But what choice is there for th UK with out splashing out on say worldpay and then 4 weeks to get your cash If someone knows a good UK one there are lots of people looking

Great. I found a module written for Ikobo. It can be integrated into OSCommerce. This is the link.http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2258/page,6 Share it with you guys.
Anyone who has actually being using iKobo Merchant and CC processing services for a while and can recommend them? I have been searching the net for info about this company and as usual, I have found very mixed opinions, which is normal, as some people like one service and other people like other service, but I’ve come to trust (most) opinions in this forum, so it might be helpful getting the word of someone I can trust. Thanks I found this, but since I’m not from the U.S. and not familiar with this organization I’m not sure if this is reliable. Please advice. http://www.atlanta.bbb.org/commonreport.html?compid=7000398 .
I'm not sure whether you can trust me or not, me being new here and stuff, but I'm using them and so far I haven't had any problems. If you need more details, feel free to ask. Bottom line is, I would recommend them, especially now since their services seem to be improving. This is just me of course.
Hi daemeh, First of all, welcome to DP. Being new doesn't mean not being worth confidence. I would just like to ask you if you have used their service as a Merchant or just to send money p2p. And if it’s true that you can withdraw the money 15 minutes after it’s been deposited or a payment has been made. Would you share the address of the web site where you are using it? Thank you for your comment. .
Thanks for your kind words. So far I've only used their p2p service, it's true. I am however trying to start my own e-store and this is why I posted here. I did some research so I think I have a general impression about them. Of course, I can add my personal experience with them as a p2p money service and I can assure you that has been a good one so far. It's also true about the time it takes from the moment you've received a payment to the moment you can actually get your hands on the money. Actually, I think the process takes a lot less, but you'd have to be near an ATM to be able to get them faster.
Good to hear, as I could be recommending them to some of my own clients & friends. They have a nice affiliate tree program and it's nearly impossible to have a decent online CC processing service in Costa Rica. The local service charges 7% and you need to have around $10.000 deposited and frozen in your account as backup to get the account started. Any other iKobo review/report would be highly appreciated... specially from someone who is using Merchant and CC processing services. .
I think this is one of ikobo's strong points: the fact that they work practically anywhere in the world. About more reviews, I could provide you with some links but apparently the forum won't allow me. (It says I must have 10 posts and I've got them, maybe I'll have to wait a little longer or something). Anyway, as soon as I can I'll give you these links.
Thanks for the info daemeh. I sure feel a lot more confident now, but I guess I'll start slow and give it a try before begin spreading the word. But if it does work as advertised, they'll find a big fan and promoter here... I'm sick and tired of PayPal being willing to take my money, but not wanting to process payments on my behalf. I have been using PayPal to make payments for over 2 years, but still they don't allow me to receive payments through their system, just because I'm in Costa Rica. So... GO IKOBO!!! I'll keep the community up to date. .
You're welcome. Just trying to do my part. I completely understand the way you feel, I was the same way at first, a little skeptical I mean, but after a while I realized it's for real. I agree about paypal, I wouldn't use them also, even if I could, after all the tuff I've read about them I wouldn't trust them with my money. All I can say is that I wish you all the best, and don't forget about us.
