Please i think one should beware of 2Checkout. www.2co.com www.2checkout.com.
I was looking for a payment processor, because paypal wasn't supported in my country, i decided to use 2checkout (www.2co.com www.2checkout.com.), just because it was free, i used it. but this has been my biggest regret in life. I was using their payment processing services after tidious integration, of which i paid a foreign expert about a thousand USD to help me with.
While using the payment gateway, just about 3-5 months after, i got a mail that my account has been blocked and nothing can been done, i should look elsewhere. I did nothing wrong. See below the exact mail i got. Worst of it all, my money has been seized for almost 4 Months now, most than 300 USD. In the mail, they said i will get it in 180 days. That's after 6 months. And that got me wondering. What sort of fraud could be bigger than that? When a paypment gatway service provider could block my account just for no reason and seize my money to make interest with it. I suspect it is because i wasn't generating much sales as they anticipated, so they saw doing business with me as a waste, but i am a startup, no room for startup in this World? Oh! Hence, they could seize my money, put it in the bank and generate interest with it, and give me back after 6 Month. Whaaaat is this? I still can't believe as i write. Please help me share.
What is this? What kind of policy is this? I urge the Wolrd to look into this. I am bitter and my heart is broken. 2checkout ruined my business and took my monies. It is bad for business i believe! See message below from them. :
