| b35800's Full Review: BillPoint |
Now, all I see is negative critics to Billpoint, well let me tell you my case.
I live in Spain (Europe) and won an ebay auction. I couldn't pay with my VISA through PayPal because my credit card doesn't have the PayPal required three verification digit numbers, and even if it had the process of validating the credit card is looooong and complicated, almost nonsense in the electronic age.
I couldn't pay with I-Escrow, because they only accept credit cards online within the United States, and you know what? they ask you to send you credit card information by fax instead, all right! way to go! that is security and encryption at it best. I mean, hey why don't we just publish our credit cards or send them by e-mail saluting everyone out there.
In the days that followed the bidding close, the seller and I went crazy from one place to another trying to find an online payment method, SOMEHOW, SOMEWHERE, SOMETIME... till I found the easiest way that we had in front of our faces, BILLPOINT.
If you are like me, an international dealer trying to pay someone outside you country, or a seller trying to get paid, forget of PayPal, I-Escrow and all the others reviewed here, I have try them all. Go to BILLPOINT, it is quick and easy. The buyer doesn't have to register, you pay with your credit card online just like in any other website, without nonsense, slow and tiring validating requirements. The seller does have to open an account, in seconds, no set-up fees, no monthly fees, and no minimum charge requirements. Yes, the seller is charged with 1-2% fee for each payment (in my case it was free for VISA payers), but:
1. You, the buyer, can agree with the seller to calculate a total price that includes the fee so the seller doesn't lose a cent.
2. Paying that minimum fee is Absolutely better than nothing (not paying), it is less than a bank transfer fee and less than sending a check by post to the other side of the ocean, AND it is certainly faster. Don't believe me, check it out for yourself, if the others say no to you BILLPOINT is the best.
This is not a BILLPOINT ad, this is a BILLPOINT happy costumer, they have made the difficult easy for me. And the seller is happy too for the quick payment. Happy Christmas.
