="Ch3vr0n, post: 527272, member: 50959"]Actually it is. Copyright protection removal tools are highly frowned upon by payment service providers. Feel free to ask a first class provider such as "Digital River", Paypal, Stripe,Atos, Klarna, Sofort... if they're open to accepting payments for developers that let a user backup commercial DVD/BD's by circumventing copyright measures in place. I guarantee you, you will get a NO 100% of the times. Which means when you deal in such tools that circumvent copyright measures, you're bound to using less top knotch providers. That's just a fact.
I've never had any problems purchasing anything else - DVDFab included. Bought loads of add ones, paid their monthly charge. Not once, not a single time have I had an issue - let alone repeated issues and I buy a lot of software for various clients and myself.
I'm not saying you're not right about Paypal et al, but it's strange how the other providers in the same space I simply haven't had an issue with.
I have had to unblock a supplier - but let's be clear, that's not what happened here - that payment never reached the bank.
Plus the messages ask to unblock different companies in different countries.
That's not fantastically reassuring.
=Nobody here is calling bitcoin a first class international payment provider. I certainly didn't. The whole point of bitcoin (and other cryptocurrency) is a decentralised platform. There is no single governing body that states what someone can or can't buy with their crypto. You send the coins > the network (miners) process/confirm the coin transfer > recipient receives coins.
With developers like Redfox, as long as you wouldn't make a typo in the coin address (easily avoided by copy/pasting it), you'd have the same chance as any other one. They'd just refund the cryptocoins
Which is fine, if you trust the platform - I don't. Or trust Redfox (for the moment). And why exactly should I right now?
I've used a working credit card, but no explanation - just a push to a cryptocurrency. It hardly feels like something I'd risk given the amount.
Whitelisting a merchant isn't that uncommon if you place oversees orders from a place you don't shop a lot at.
Had no issue doing so, tried. But to be clear, the payment hadn't reached my provider.
True, but its also a first class provider. Feel free to ask them if they're willing to process payments for tools such as AnyDVD. Oh wait, i already know the answer. NO.
Except I literally purchased DVDFAB on a second platform with the same card about 3 weeks ago. As usual - as it has been when adding components, fine.
As it was when my friend purchased it a few months back on my recommendation - and every time anyone I've recommended it to has. If there was an issue it was passing - customer service excellent. Never had anything but quick responses.
Now right now, I'd like a second tool to do the same thing - ran the trial, seemed great.
But what's it been - a few weeks? No solutions on here, just people basically telling me'
"Pay with bitcoin" No thank you.
"Bitcoins great" You're entitled to your opinion
"The mastercard/credit card situation is understandable" No, it really isn't - not to this extent
"The credit card situation is intermittent" Well, I'm on attempt 4 on 2 cards tried on 3 browsers so far, both happily purchasing other software and - to date - not one payment has even shown up on my card providers system from redfox - or any of these other companies they ask to whitelist in messages.
Many sites make it seem a lot harder than it actually is. Take the electrum bitcoin software wallet for example. You install it on your PC, it generates a secure seed (which you use to for example access your wallet on a smartphone too, or if you reinstall windows. You enter the seed again and boom. Wallet access. As long as you keep your seed secure, nobody's getting in. You can then go to any bitcoin atm in your area, check out coinradar.com, you click "buy", pick an amount, pay for it and let the atm scan your QR code generated by the app on your phone for example (it's what i do). Quick and easy.
I don't trust bitcoin. I have no reason to. I have lots of reaons not to.
So to be clear - no thank you. I'd like the Mastercard issue(s) sorted so I can pay this company 100's of Euros please.
Of course it isn't fraudulent or you'd see a ton of unhappy topics.
And you'll note I mentioned I very much doubted it was. But scams come in many forms - I don't think this is one, even now, but I'm sure as dammit not setting up my first cryptocurrency transaction for a sum I can't afford to lose.
So if we could drop this and Redfox could focus on getting Credit cards sorted, or an alternative payment method such as 'it that can not be named' which offers me protection, I'd appreciate it.
That's you're right, nobody's going to force you to do anything.
They said that because that's the place where users post methods that work for them. And for the record, most problems are for the USA region.
I'm in Europe, for the record.
They DO work, YOUR card doesn't. Don't generalise things.
Which card - both?
Also - there are other posts on here saying the same thing - and the chap above said there are 'workarounds'.
https://forum.redfox.bz/threads/paid-with-visa.79778/#post-527898
https://forum.redfox.bz/threads/payment-issue.79685/#post-527146
Don't make things specific, there's obviously a general problem.
If it was MY card, how come THEY exist? (Workarounds, POSTS, other PEOPLE with problems, take your PICK)
Feel free to post such methods, just dont suggest paypal though. Already said above why.
I'll post as I please and suggest what seems sensible, your assertions are demonstably not eh case.
I've no intention of being stymied because you favour other methods than Paypal, I'm simply trying to get a product bought and am raising how suspicious the issues Redfox are having look. I'm happy to use a credit card. Happy to use Paypal. It offers customer protection. Surely - that's understandable? Even if you don't like it or think there's some mysterious reason this company is the exception.
So. I'll ask a different question.
Redfox - have you worked out why Mastercard doesn't work?
I see new threads from others with the same issue.
