spud Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Paypal is no longer an option for ORBX software purchase. Last I heard they were holding thousands of dollars in ORBX and other developers funds hostage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Never heard that before.. It might pay to be a little careful about posting something like that.. Teecee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Correia Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 PayPal is not an option as we have had a less than palatable experience with them with funds being held. It’s part of their T&Cs which we don’t agree with so I doubt we will ever offer it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hwh86 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I use a debit card linked to my cheque account, it is as painless as PayPal used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradB Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Stripe is the way I do it for my Orbx purchases : https://stripe.com/ . Text message's sent letting me know if I approve the transaction to my CC .Very slick and secure way to purchase anything online .

fcmusician Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Just use my regular debit card with just enough for most transactions. Any problems Mastercard handles it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianU Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 What Orbx uses now is pretty cool how it works and I think as secure than PayPal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
por930 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I have used Paypal for many years with no issues...from my end that is. I have noticed though, that there seems to be many rumblings in the payment world about Paypals methods of operation, with some vendors dropping Paypal and looking for another payment option, or reverting back to debit/credit cards. When Paypal started, their formula was simple, and most parties appeared happy. Now, it seems over time, PayPal's great popularity with buyers, has apparently given them more muscle over their vendors...take it or leave it.... I too have been using my debit card for purchases more and more, with some issues, that were quickly reported when my account went into OD due to some dodgy transaction. A quick call to the bank, the monies refunded to me and a investigation by the bank to determine why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Hello, this is an old topic and things change over time. From a personal perspective, I am a 14 year so far user, as a buyer, of PayPal who have so far never let me down and even recently refunded a purchase price under their Buyer Protection scheme.

medx421 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I'm definitely leery of using debit cards online as others suggested some time ago. It offers little account protection if the card gets compromised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard Nieberg Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I use PayPal or a credit card for online purchases. That way there is always some degree of protection if something was to go south. I can’t imagine using my debit card, yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't own a credit card, you can still use paypal. It's a direct debit, no need to then pay your credit card, or forget and have to pay additional interest. No need to either enter cc details every time, or save your cc details on someones webpage which many people are wary of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question was only a hypothetic one, because I actually don't see, why it should be saver, if Paypal takes money from my bank account than if my cc company did.

Nick Cooper Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 The main benefit is that bank details are given to one provider and thereafter, that provider shares them with no one. I also find it extremely easy to use which is a two edged sword, as it makes purchases very easy too. It suits me for those reasons but I have no interest in whether or not it suits anyone else, nor in trying to persuade anyone to use it or dissuade them from using another method. I have had a PayPal account for 14 years and a bank account for around 50 years, neither has so far deprived me of any money that they should not have and both have once saved me from the malpractice of rogue traders.

Jack the Swede in Spain Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I do not get this Nick. As I understand you recommend PayPal, but din not JV say Orbx will nerver again use PayPal, because yhe "ripped Orbx" off? Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Hello Jack, you might have noticed that I went to some trouble not to recommend either method. I don't think I could have made it clearer than this: Quote It suits me for those reasons but I have no interest in whether or not it suits anyone else, nor in trying to persuade anyone to use it or dissuade them from using another method. I have had a PayPal account for 14 years and a bank account for around 50 years, neither has so far deprived me of any money that they should not have and both have once saved me from the malpractice of rogue traders. I also have written Quote this is an old topic and things change over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
