This is like the 10th time they've approved orders from Russia/Indonesian IPs with U.S. billing addresses. What are these monkeys doing? Are they just approving all high ticket items to get their % fees? If you're looking for a credit card processor, I say stay away from these guys.

funny, i thought their security policies were too strict. They reject almost half of my orders

Thanks for the heads up - I was about to go with them, but since they have yet to reply to an e-mail I sent 3 days ago I've pretty much dismissed them and this just put the final nail in the coffin :)

neufusion,

Do your homework on the boards and you will notice that every merchant processor has at least a dozen of such stories, so its really up to you to compare features of each and decide based on your needs.

I personally like paysystems, they have good support, and they are constantly improving.

Well, I am pretty picky as hostcharge still owes me some money which I will most likely never see. I'd rather be safe than sorry and as I said its been 3 days and I still have no e-mail reply from them just asking a simple question.

try their 800 number :) 1-866-699-9022 [got to love that]

Yeah, there are plenty of stories of which both good and bad.
It can only be up to you to go out there, and actually decide for yourself.

2CheckOut and PaySystems both have the same fees - if you are not happy with PaySystems, then you can always choose 2CheckOut.

Not happy with either one of those? (...and yes there are those who aren't ;) )
Try another one, maybe even PayNetSystems or iBill or Charge or MoneyBookers. The only one, the real only one, I'd put my hand and say without using it is WorldPay - I'd say they'd be your safest bet even though I don't use them, but because so many other people do use them and so many other companies use them.

Sony uses them... they are huge, so WorldPay cannot be too bad. Plus as far as I'm aware, they are owned by the Bank Of Scotland - another plus side for them. PaySystems and 2CheckOut are both mere 3rd Party CC Processors.

WorldPay is simply the best, I was with them a while back but they unfortunatley left my geographical area, so I had to find another one.
