Paxum is a piece of SHIT

I have to agree with Ramster. Being non-US, it costs me a fortune to cash American cheques, so I desperately need an ePassporte replacement. However I need a competent ePassporte replacement. Problems occur, no company will be 100% perfect. But when mistakes or problems occur you have to be on top of them instantly, and you have to contact your clients immediately. In that Ramster had to use this board to get attention, and even then it took RuthB a while to reply, I'm afraid I will NOT be using Paxum paying sponsors ever. I have seen several payment companies disappear, and I'm afraid I think Paxum will end up as another ePassporte type fiasco!

However I am not sure why more people don't use this method to pay affiliates: PayPal now allow you to pay affiliates via their service, even "adult" companies (they still don't allow you to sell most adult stuff via them, but they have allowed the payment of adult affiliates via their service for a few years now). Not only is it a lot easier, it is a bloody good way of getting affiliates. The processor I use pays affiliates via PayPal, and in the cases of the affiliates who have told me why they use me, over 80% signed up simply because they could get paid via PayPal.

What do you expect from a company in which the mailing address listed on the website is a UPS store...

I'm local. When Paxum first appeared on GFY hunting new customers, I inquired about where their office was located so I could go check it out. I got the run around. You have to email and/or call someone to set-up a meeting. An address was never given. I wasn't able to go to an office and schedule an appointment with a receptionist, random employee, or owner. Didn't instill a whole lot of confidence and make me want to rush out to sign up with them and trust them with my money.
