I'm tired of paypal and need a better way to distribute my software. Please suggest some sites to me!
 


2checkout.com is another one, so is clickbank.com and, if you are doing good volumes, why not get your own merchant account?
 
switching to a merchant account has saved me around $7K in the last two years.
Can be a pain in the ass at times tho.
 
Mind if I ask what happened other then they rob you blind.
Lol.. well, the reversals are getting annoying. I don't even get an email from the customers, so they are basically just trying to rip me off (they don't realize how the auth system works, I can disable the software..). And in one case someone claimed unauthorized activity, so I provided proof that it surely wasn't and they still reversed the payment. I basically just want something to make it hard / impossible for people to do chargebacks. I'm no scam artist, I've yet to refuse a refund to anyone.. It jsut really pisses me off when people by my software and then do a chargeback right after for no apparent reason.

I am looking for something automated, so I don't even have to handle the orders, just support. I'd like osmething that gives them a one-time access download link and allows me to load a list of auth codes that will be delivered too. Digibuy does this, but their fees seem pretty high :\ I'll look into seocracy's suggestion. Thanks for the help guys :)

haha Yeah I know what you mean then change it up is going to be your best bet, you'll just end up hurting your PayPal account with customers like that and of course PayPal doesn't understand anything related to digital products or software.

Next time tell Paypal it's a digital product you're selling.

PayPal (As far as I know) is still owned by eBay, both companies still do not fully understand digital products online, nor do they trust them, its not illegal but in there eyes they are very high risk products to sell online and in doing so will not hesitate to freeze your account for 6 months the second they may feel your digital product is a scam.

Trust me even if its 100% legit and you show them 100% proof its legit, PayPal does not care about you and they sure as fuck don't care about you if your selling digital products.

Read there TOS sometime I bet you'd be surprized about whats hidden in there, some pretty fucked up shit, basically if you have any amount in your account if they are even hinted about your products being an overly high risk (Too many chargebacks, complaints, or even making too much cash) they have full rights to put your account on hold for no less then a 6 month time frame.

This is why I only max my PayPal account out at about 2K before I take the money out, cause it would kind of suck to have 20K on hold for 6 months while they take there sweet ass time.

This is why so many people hate them, they are very touchy with certain things and they do have the power to do whatever they want with your account, even restrict your money and we all agreed to it the second we signed up hahaha.
 
Rudedogiwateva your name is, try using Clickbank, it's much better in the long run because you get loads of scammy affiliates to promote your shit and you don't get the chargeback hassle (I haven't come across any anyway).

Oh yeah, and answer my PM bitch. Sheesh...

how many affiliate sells could I expect? If it's worth it I'll go through clickbank. Otherwise, I like E-Junkie. And I'll try getting to your PM, I'm a busy motherfucker!

If you don't take the time to promote your products to affiliates or gain enough affiliate sales to increase your gravity ect... then clickbank is a waste of time and you might get 1 or 2 affiliate promoting your shit if you leave it there long enough.
 
Aside from eBay sales I stay away from PayPal. Recently I have seen Google Checkout being used on alot of sites, seems similar to PayPal. Might be worth checking out.
