Anybody using Instabill for CC processing...it'd probably be a good idea to try and get into your control panel and back up some client details.

Hi!

I am one of their member also, are they shutting down???
Which store should I register for receiving payments from my clients?


Thank you
Yupapa

You should probably see if you can get into your admin panel and save some data.

We use Revecom in the US with no complaints, and another local Aussie provider. Have a look at www.revecom.com

you could try http://www.worldpay.com

I think the worst thing about Instabill's decision is leaving it till a week before they close their doors to let people know. I would have presumed they knew they were going to shut up shop before now. Not very professional at all - though I suppose you could say they at least *did* mention they were closing.

I guess the support center at Revecom is going to busy over the next few weeks...

Hi,
I noticed that the copy of a mail to me from ECS ( e commerce services uk )
saying they will only half of the money that was due last month
was sent to a person at
www.instabill.com

This co. uses the same address
London House, 100 New Kings Road

but the whois says:

Domain Name: INSTABILL.COM Registrar: INTERCOSMOS MEDIA GROUP, INC. D/B/A DIRECTNIC.COM Whois Server: whois.directnic.com Referral URL: http://www.directnic.com Name Server: NS2.RACKSPACE.COM Name Server: NS.RACKSPACE.COM Status: ACTIVE Updated Date: 17-mar-2006 Creation Date: 26-aug-1999 Expiration Date: 26-aug-2011

Does anybody know more about the ' linkage ' between these 2 infamous co's ?

I would say Paypal is still the best CC processing Co. Guarantee they'll be around for a long time as long as Ebay is still #1 online world market.

Sign up with Paypal business member to accept credit card payments. It's fast, easy and reliable!

Just my two cents =)

Anyone heard of this new GBuy google are testing? Supposedly said to knock paypal off the top spot soon!

Its probably Google Checkout that you're referring to. The announced the launch of it recently, the following news article gives you more info:
