Bidpay Closing For Good!
 

from email:

Effective December 31, 2007, BidPay.com, Inc. will be discontinuing operations. We regret any inconvenience to our users and thank you for your patronage over the years. Please note the following important details about the shutdown. Please plan accordingly.

Effective IMMEDIATELY, BidPay will no longer accept new BidPay account registrations.

Effective IMMEDIATELY, banner insertions for new auctions will be disabled. That means that any attempts to add “BidPay” as a payment option in auctions will not be effective. Accordingly, you should offer alternative forms of payment.

Effective 5:00 P.M. PST, December 25, 2007, BidPay will cease accepting payments.

From January 1, 2008 through 11:59 P.M. PST, January 31, 2008, registered users will have read-only access to their BidPay account information.

LOL! As I had predicted. They were great the FIRST month or so they opened. Then they started rejecting all my orders on that very same account. You cannot tie your entire business into ebay and ebay auctions. People who sign up want SOME freedom to choose to send money to whoever they want for whatever they want without having to go thru some sort of weird ebay account verification so they can prove they're not scammers. You don't screw with ppl when you're a fledgling business just starting up. That's like starting up a restaurant and hiring Gordon Ramsey as the head chef and then replacing him with the dishwasher the very next month.

eBay has always loved Bidpay like crazy. I think because they're always shutting down and forcing people to use paypal or something else again.

It's cause Bidpay is eBay's b!tch and they know it. eBay says "jump" and Bidpay says "how high?" :D

lol thats a good one! Smak some @ss!!
