Anyone able to do an ACH/EFT transfer from Paxum this week..??
 

I'm reading on the board about other problems with Paxum...

Earlier in the week on Tuesday, the ACH/EFT transfer option was not available...

They said it was a problem with the payment processor they use..

Then supposedly by the next day Wednesday this was fixed and ACH/EFT transfer option available again..

So I initiate a transfer on Wednesday morning and nothing since.. Usually by the next day you get a notice the transfer was completed on their end..

So Friday is 2 days now and no word about the transfer.. Sent two messages to support today and nothing back..

I just started using them.. Is this the way it always is with them..??

FirstChoicePay's twitter account also mentions delayed payments earlier this month.

Seems like nothing has changed since the epassporte days. It's still money travelling through a third party that has to constantly keep up with the changing goalposts of their banking relationships. And it's their customers which suffer when things go wrong.

What value do these companies actually add?

They are mostly used by those which dont want to pay tax, so that's the value which they add :1orglaugh

I can't speak to EFT/ACH, but I've done two wires out of Paxum this week and both were in my account in less than 24 hours, which admittedly was faster than I expected.

The value is getting affiliate payments at $2 per payout, instead of $15 per payout (wires).

For 100 affiliate payouts, that's $1250 savings, even if you withdraw your money using a $50 wire withdrawal.

No, checks are not an option for most of non-American webmasters. And while many use PayPal for payouts, it's still not 100% adult friendly.
