Never use 2checkout.com it is a scam. The 2checkout staff is incompetent! Thier website doesnt even work with the most popular browser on earth (internet explorer)! They also charge a scamming $50 setup fee (which nobody else charges) and then charge you ridiculous rates! Thier checkout pages will change everyday because they dont know what they are doing! It doesnt matter what you do it will change on you causing you lots of problems and lost revenue! They also will take money for your sales then not pay you! They stole my money! They are nothing but incompetent thieves! Never use this piece of crap service!

2checkout in ohio is a scam! They have there own made TOS and there a horrible company! stealing peoples money for there own company! they dont hold it, they just steal it! I paid 49.99 for there services for my website to accept credit cards for my products! I paid and started using there checkout for credit card sales! I was very unaware that what I was selling was supposly against there TOS and in any case after reading it, my exact item wasnt under there prohibited items! ( they should list each one individualy ) And in any case they shouldnt have stole my money, they should have atleast warned me and stop accepting payments after first review! But no they waited till my sales went to over 700.00 and shut my account down and then said there keeping the money! I shipped all my customers items out also and couldnt just refund them back because 2co said they would have to charge me another 50.00 in transaction fees for the processing of the credit cards . What a joke I shouldnt have to pay 50.00 for money I didnt reecieve! That company is a scam and I live in the same state as them im just in aww over there horrible customer service and TOS ! They even called the first customer I took a credit card transaction from to make sure they were real! In any case I will ruin there name and there services and make them loose more then what they stole from me! Thats a promise!

It is now 23 May'08, 12.50am(GMT+8) & my credit card account still doesn't show any refund for:

Sale: 3910615200 Amount: 12.00

Additional comments: Money Back Guarantee - $12 -datasage.net

I have online access to my credit card account including all billed & unbilled transactions. This means I can even see transactions which have yet to appear in my monthly statement. There is no entry for a US$12 refund. I have called my credit card bank & they confirm the same.

What's happening? I don't want to ask my credit card bank to raise a dispute unless absolutely necessary in order to avoid extra work & hassles for all parties concerned but I need to see the refund in immediately(no later than my 24 May'08).

It is 26 May'08, 18.15hrs & I still don't see the refund in my Credit Card Account.

It has been 15 days from your email informing me that I should receive the refund in 7-10 days.

What exactly is a "reasonable amount of time to push this refund"? When exactly will I be receiving the refund? I need to keep my Credit Card Bank posted so that they can advise me on the next course of action to seek redress.

Each time I wait for 7-10 days for the refund, it never happens. This is the 2nd time I'm being asked to wait 7-10 days (on top of the most recent 5 days). How am I to know for sure that the refund will happen after this? Do you really feel that an apology suffices? What happens if it still doesn't go through? What are you doing different from the last 3 times to ensure it goes through?

This US$12 is nothing compared to the business loss during the 1 week I hosted with you & my website & email was down 3 times, the last for more than 56hrs before I had no choice but to immediately host with someone else. However, this US$12 refund is an indication of your sincerity in service recovery & you commitment to fulfill your 30-day money-back guarantee. The longer you take to do this & the more time & effort I need to get you to do what you should have done promptly & without any hassle on my part reflects badly on you & 3ix.

I'm still hosting another domain & website with 3ix (I've mentioned the domain to them in earlier emails) & I'm seriously considering if I should continue to do so if I don't get the refund this time.

As I anticipated, it is 19 June'08 and, once again, after waiting 10 business days from your last promise that I will receive the refund by 18 June'08, I have not.

What's your excuse this time? What exactly went wrong this time? What did you do this time that's different from the past 4 times? What will you be doing different henceforth?

I've received a US$6.95 refund for the same order within 10 business days previoulsy. Why can't you replicate what you did for this US$6.95 refund when you process the US$12 refund?

It's becoming clear that you are just making excuses and really have no intention to make the refund. You really leave me no choice but to do what I need to do to get back what's rightfully mine.

Here's my nightmare with 2checkout.com...

Customer placed a $49,000 order. Later that day it passed 2CO fraud review.
This was my indication that the order was good and the following day I initiated the process of filling the order. Three days later, after the order had been sent off to the customer, I called 2CO because I was concerned that the payment hadn't been processed. Larry assured me that although it hadn't made this week's payment cycle it would certainly be on the following week's. He further assured me that the payment was guaranteed as it had been approved by the bank.

An hour or so later I received notification via email that the order had been canceled by 2CO and refunded to the customer. As a consequence of this action I am now left scrambling trying to recover the goods which will not only cost me to have returned, providing I am able to do this, but I am also out of pocket the potential profit from the sale.

2CO website states: "... accounts whose sales level drastically rises, will be subjected to our account verification process. This process is typically done through voice verification with the end user of the service or product.
While this process is usually seamless, difficulty in verifying the legitimacy and status of your account can result in the delay of your initial payments."
Notice that it says this can delay payments, not cancel orders. Did 2CO, in fact, try to notify the end user to verify the order? If so, what was the result? No answer. If not, why not? Why was I not notified immediately rather than several days later, after I had shipped the order? 2checkout.com has been unable or unwilling to answer these questions.

I have been a customer of 2CO for a number of years. Now I'm an ex-customer. I would caution anyone considering using their services to do so at their own risk.
