Day 5 of the Paypal Saga – They Did the Unimaginable…

I freakin’ cannot believe it.
Paypal actually RE-INSTATED my account today.
Can you believe it? I can’t. I’m in shock. All the cash is there. And my account is ready to use again.
In any case, I’m still looking for alternatives. This was just entirely too stressful for me.
Every e-book that’s not being sold through affiliates will go under a new payment processor. And the ones that are sold through Paypal may be turned into print manuals, so I can get proof of shipping.
I am protecting my arse this time.
Thanks to all of you who felt my pain and offered suggestions. I appreciate it.

Alexis, thanks for sharing your painful roller-coaster journey with me/us. I can’t even begin to imagine the PITA experience this has been for you.
I’m thrilled for you that they’ve reinstated your account, and you make a solid case about offline products if using Paypal that I’ve begun the process of doing that myself for my new product offerings.
Would be super interested in what 3rd party processors you’re going to use in the near future. Thanks to you, I just registered for the 2CO Affiliate Program Beta, as I already use 2CO for WordpressTutorials.com.
And guess what? 2CO is going to integrate Paypal Express to their service too
Alexis, thanks once again, and may 2008 be super prosperous for you, despite the ‘bumps on the road’!!
Cheers!

Thanks Lexi… Thanks Sherman.
As my header says, “Exploring the exciting and sometimes harsh realities of selling information online.”
It’s no lie folks!
Yay, I’m happy to hear the good news for your Alexis.
Last night at the warrior forum someone asked where he can get a copy of desperate buyers only but the order link was down …
Yes that was me asking about the DBO booklet. I had no idea the troubles you were going through Alexis. Glad you made it through though! Though, I am still a little unclear as to what PayPal had a problem with. Can you clarify?
Thanks,
Butch
P.S. Get booklet! (DBO) Also glad I found other stuff you offer and write as well. Might not be able to participate in all of them, but I’ll make a checklist and get them done
Butch… Paypal NEVER told me exactly what the problem was. Like I said, there was speculation from the rep’s I spoke to.
But nobody came right out and said – “This is the exact reason why…”
That’s a blower. If something is wrong, how the heck am I supposed to fix it if they don’t clue me in?
Best regards,
Alexis
P.S.- Thanks for the feedback on DBO. I appreciate it.
Hi Alexis,
Glad to hear everything worked out OK. You have REALLY given me something to think about. As you said, I think 2008 there needs to be some changes made in the way I also do business, collect money, etc. At the moment, I’m still trying to build my business.
BTW Butch, I have bought all the products. They’re all good.
