I am playing with my new "Invisibility Potion" at the moment. Part of my plan to take over the world. Seems to work just fine... ;-) But - I did not post anything. I have just thanked your last post.
I merged their threads, his thread is the first comment now
Thought I was losing my mind lol
Regardless of whether they are or not, and assuming the accusations are true, no professional company should speak to anyone over the phone like that?
Indeed.
Agreed. I have an online.net box and while I don't pay by PayPal, this kind of attitude makes me not want to have this company holding my card details. Who knows what kind of stunts they'll be trying to pull next? I'll be looking elsewhere for a new place to host my box, away from the torrenters and kidechire kids.
This was directed to me over irc. I was accused of outbound DoS and it was a false accusation and the head of networking called me it when I told I'd like him to investigate.
This happens twice in that month. Second time they admitted in ticket to me that it was a false report and not anything I or my server had done. Needless to say I migrated to OVH and have had no issues at all.
I think last time I checked OVH also charged a tiny surcharge (£1-2), unlikely PP will do anything. Of course the 19EUR is borderline ridiculous.
1 EUR is perfectly fine. But 19 EUR. I think they need to reduce PP charge-backs or something.
I think they may have miscalculated how to present this to their customers. I'd have done the same as you but I can't get my special limited editions anywhere else.
I've never had the paypal option before but it's showing now, guess it's OK for an emergency payment method but nothing more.
What about a protest? Lats give them ultimatum to remove that fee or they get banned/blacklisted at LET?
The problem now: I validated my creditcard an hour ago and they charged me 1,19€ succesfully.
Now I get an email from them that the payment for the latest invoice got rejected.
So you force me to use my credit-card and then you won't accept my creditcard?
I had to re-issue my paypal agreement this month as well as last month as it showed payment failed. I'm glad I happened to cancel two boxes earlier this month now.

Hey Benedict, I know you're a nice person, so would you explain this to me:A €19 fee will be charged for optional payment methods (checks, Paypal, American Express, bank transfers).Will Online.net charge for debit card payments for now? That's absolutely unacceptable.It seems February's charge is pending on my account and doesn't include the said €19 fee. Not sure if I'll be charged the same in March if I don't cancel.Thanks for the screenshot. I've got the same option and I paid so far with debit card every month(they've deducted it automatically).
That's free but charges folks based in uk (my bank charges around £3 extra)
I know that. I believe we talked about that earlier.
I just got a reply exactly about that from Benedikt.
"The payment fees are only for some specific payment modes (PayPal, AMEX, Cheque), because these forms of payments are very expensive to process. No fees apply to payments with MasterCard or VISA debit cards. However your bank may charge you a small conversion fee as all our payments are made in Euro. "
Also bank transfer expression is confusing, since a debit card payment is a bank transfer in a way.
I love my kidechire, but their behaviour is ridiculous. They want me to pay a 20 Euro transaction fee for a 2 Euro product each month?
Stop accepting Paypal completely and give the remaining Paypal costumers a fair time period to change their payment method and the whole thing is done. If you want to shine start accepting bitcoin.
It was your choice to accept Paypal and you should have done your homework before you do stupid things lige this.
so maybe they lose a lot of customers on this by now...
guess what, they will come up with some limited blabla special in short time to sell the free boxes and we will see the usual run for that offer around here...
anyone to bet against?
and remember: it will be very interesting to see, which position they'll be going to achieve in the provider poll.
Greed is king.
this. probably myself would go for a 2x2TB box at 19$ if I ever get the chance...
Won't the 19 EUR in Paypal fee knock most of their higher end limited offers off the under $49/month LET Rule?
When I first paid for online, it was declined but it was my bank that blocked the transaction thinking it was fraud (randomly paying some French company)
Switch to first direct (regardless of this, they're the best bank ever)
lol , this is verry WRONG atitudine , no comment !
Umm
maybe. but it is not mandatory to pay with PP , more like the opposite...
Wait, SEPA cost also 19EUR? Did online got lost?
So? Pay with the free-less options then
No.
Bank Transfer = SEPA
