they are fine if you have an account with them.. but if you want to signup dont hold your breathe...
the new MCC has been delayed around 6 months in a row now - getting a little annoying.Matt Wallis

Do you know exactly what is involved in making a new mcc? Are you aware of how we are revamping our system? Are you aware of the new merchant accounts we're setting up? Are you aware that we have to redo our entire backend?
Releasing a product/service as sensitive as a mcc which controls your finances, and credit card charges requires planning, a lot of debugging, a lot of testing before it can be released to 100's and 100's of users.
We have promised a new mcc and you will get a new mcc. Patience is a virtue

Ashar, i wasnt having a go - but there have been several milestone dates set which were not achieved.
Im sure the new MCC will be great and i do know of the ammount of work required...
It would have been best for you to never set a date for the new MCC thus not getting peoples hopes upMatt Wallis

I'd would rather have HC raise my hopes and then knock them down because they are improving it even more than have a buggy MCC.0

Because its hard enough supporting all existing clients without the added hassle of setting up new clients while we're getting ready for our transition to our new mcc.

Wow, they are still working on the new MCC?! Wow, but only 2 months ago was the first deadline and now it's still under development. Well, I wish you all the best...
To anyone looking to sign up anywhere, I reccoment an authorize.net reseller or purchasing a modernbill account (which comes with a free authnet account).0

KYO!
Wow, i like it! Its just that im not sure, how safe it is after all these scams going on nowadays.. So please, if someone is using them already, please feel free to fill me in on hows the service? Is staff behaving proffesional? How you ever had any problems? Dont get me wrong, from what i have seen, i like it, but its just hard to tell just from checking out the website.
What are the main pros and cons in comparisson to lets say 2checkout?
PS: Kyo: Im from Europe (though my company is incorporated in the US, State of Delaware as an offshore LLC), is your service suitable for me as well, or are there any complications regarding this issue, or maybe some additional or higher fees? I would be transfering most of the money to the Europe, since its where I reside.

First the bad:
- They reject quite a few transactions but they are aware of it (and it can be fixed by billing the customer again)
- When issuing a wire transfer the balance doesn't match always and neither does the monthly statement (happens only sometimes)
- Their customer management is not very good when you start to get many customers
Then the good
- Great and very fast support
- Good rates
- Very easy to setup
- Great uptime (can't remember any downtime for the actual order page
- great system for setting up billing and automatic billing
- option to bill a card manually which works good as well
Hope this helps.0

Tox: thanks!
Well, im still not sure should i wait for them or should it signup with 2checkout.
Can you, or somebody else recomend me which is better, or even better - Point out the good and the bad points of 2checkout the way Tox did, so we can compare them?For Sale: MainHosting.com | StableHosting.com | CuteHosting.com - PM if interested.0
