This is feedback. And I apologise in advance because I am getting pretty frustrated at this point.
I have tried to upgrade to an Exclusive membership, but your PayPal implementation won't let me.
Here's what's happening.
I don't have a PayPal account, and I won't get one because here in Spain you have to go through purgatory with your bank to attach, and effectively freeze the amount you want to use, from your checking or savings account. They won't work with a Credit Card, even if it is issued by the same Spanish bank. No way.
So I sent in a support ticket, and the reply was: "don't log in and set up a PP account, just use the PayPal Credit Card facility."
OK, I tried this, with another card I have with another non-Spanish bank. I even had the guy from the credit card help desk on the phone as we tried to do it. When I tried the transaction, all he could see was a hit for $1 come through (which I want back)... and on my end I got an error message from Pay Pal saying that I have exceeded my limit and the transaction was denied. I haven't exceeded my limit. My bank's help desk couldn't explain this. He also tells me that they have a lot of problems with PayPal.
Adam et al: Here I am, I want to upgrade, I want to give you money and I can't.
I own and operate a network of over 6,000+ eCommerce websites, and I offer my customers a choice of 60+ different payment gateways for credit card processing, FREE...because PayPal sucks.
What is the big deal for you to add a payment gateway? Surely you can afford the SSL certificate and the 1.9% transaction fee....can't you?
Yeah, PayPal is free...but you get what you pay for. It's free because you are giving them all of your sales and marketing data to use as they wish.
Thanks, and hoping you have a solution to take my money and give me the upgrade.
