Hi,

We have had our First "Fraud" Order via PayPal somedays ago, because the guy funded the Account via a Stolen Credit Card... Now, We're looking for more Payment Possibilities besides the PayPal Scam wich the Payment is yours only if the Funds where from a Bank Acccount. We encountered Yahoo! Paydirect in the way... And we would like to know if anyone has an Account there and if it's possible to use an Account there to Sell Dedicated Servers, Shared Hosting, Etc... Your Input is Really Appreciatted!

Currently we just take a look to the TOS and it seems that they can do a Chargeback ("Reversal") When they want if the Person who owns the Account request it... :eek:

Thanks! :)

Wrong forum, should be in the E-Commerce Discussion ;)

And the simple answer is: no. There will always be fraud no matter what type of merchant account you use. You just need to take steps yourself to prevent such actions. Voice authorization stops a lot of these fraud orders.
