This is what strikes me as extremely unusual. Should not they finally try to prevent payments by stolen credit cards somehow? Five or six years ago it was actually possible to order anything using only a credit card number. These days everything is checked, the name on the card, the expiration date, the 3-digit CVV (?), even the billing address... and fraudsters are still able to do it? I don't understand it, it should be relatively easy to verify those cc internet transactions, why it has been hanging for so long? Actually, I've heard of a new initiative by VISA to provide a special password for using their cards on the Net. Is it supported by any merchants? Alas, credit cards are not the only problem with PayPal, fraudulent eBay transactions are also very commonplace. So I agree, this will be a very risky and short-lived business. Although we can see a genuine demand for those services from people, who would like to sell on the Internet (and ebay) , but do not live in the list of paypal-supported countries. If only there was a way to wade through those orders... Best Regards, Julie Donska Customer Support Gold-cash.biz: Digital Exchange. The safe way.
