Account signup was trivial, the site looks good and easy to navigate, there are some incomplete areas but the core functionality looks to be there. A full support ticket system is functional and in place.

I hooked up the XML Pay API with the intention of using it for Single Purchases and this took literally less than 5 minutes. The transactions failed however and I finally re-read the documentation which stated I needed to open a support ticket to get the API enabled.

The test transactions worked flawlessly and returned in a matter of seconds.

I then tried out a number of live transactions. The transactions generally took around 30 seconds to process. Card#, Expiration Date, CVV checking and basic AVS all seemed to be in order (I tried variants of my information to see how loose it was).

Support time has been great and they've been proactively contacting me, even sending my account a message based on a thread I posted on GFY. (They implemented the GUID thing I discussed in the thread above in 1 day, which was very cool).

Anyhow the experience has been great so far.
