This must surely be a hobby for you, cuz I can't imagine any rational person wanting to run their business in this manner nor do business with any company that does.:pimp

And their 4.9% was a bait and switch :2 cents:

As I have said before drop Zombaio and get with anybody else; Verotel, Epoch, CCBill, etc...

@ShowMe69

Yes, I decided to consider it as a hobby, although the amounts are always calling to get serious :) It was a "big business" for me long ago, when I was much younger.

The 4.9% was very real and it was real for a long time, so even if it was a "bait", I enjoyed munching it quite a lot, no complains whatsoever, so thank you Zombaio :)

Those are all great companies you mentioned and yes sir, I already use them all and a few others too, but they are much less fun then Zombaio, that's all I'm saying. Just like Jeremy Clarkson who's valuing a special type of cars that are "fun to drive", I also started looking mainly for fun in all possible aspects of life. I guess it comes with the age :)

I recall loosing money to iBill, Paymonde, ePassporte... those companies went out of business and ripped us off, BUT this time looks like we have a happy ending. After all horror and drama, Zombaio is getting back on the track and paying out their merchants. They deserve an applause for that. Go Zombaio, go!! (cheerleaders cheering) :)

I hear ya Hulk and we are all entitled to our opinion, but sorry I don't and won't cheer a shady company, that mis-managed, delayed and stole webmaster's money (payouts & reserves).

Sorry in my book you can't steal funds, pay them back at your leisure and get a pat on the back.

But if that is how you do it, more power to ya , I'm not mad at ya :thumbsup

Well, I try to look at things from the bright side and not worry too much, especially not in advance. Simply, being worried is not a healthy thing and who knows, maybe attracts a bad karma. If this happened 15 years ago, I would probably be the first one here smashing and yelling. Now I'm relaxed and attracting a good karma.

I absolutely agree with you, stealing is certainly not ok, but they didn't stole anything yet, neither closed their business down. Actually they started paying out, so I wanted to share the good news. Chances are they could pay us all and pay us in full. I have a not so common habit of supporting the underdogs and I never play 100% safe in business or life. It's fun and I like being different, but what's strange, it often pays off, one way or another. I always liked:

- the incredible 4.9% rate (brought me a pure profit of 5%-10% per month, compared to others)
- possibility to chat with the staff in real time (don't know if any other billing company offers this)
- mastercard associated with the account (very practical & quite unique)

Not bad at all. Maybe they are not the most professional company in the World, but personally, I can live with that. We'll see how this situation will end up, for now there are high chances for a positive outcome, so let's hope for the best.

and your reserves are all current ???????

You must be talking about another company, not Zombaio:1orglaugh

Pretty doubtful...lol:thumbsup

well he already lied when he said they had not stole .Just seeing how deep he is gonna lay this on :1orglaugh

I said this months ago, Zombaio is done.

Post your websites with zombaio active :thumbsup

Yeah I am interested too:disgust

Zombaio.com :1orglaugh

Got 5 payments today :) $$$$$ .... zombaio is the little train that could. Well shit hats off for trying when trying=$$$$ in my pocket.Cheers For Zombaio

Glad you got paid, but for every payment you got, I am sure somebody isn't going to get theirs in order for you to get paid :pimp

4 months behind payments now
what a bunch of crooks

Got $10k from Zombaio today (assuming the pending transactions clear to my account).

FINALLY. They were reassuring before they sent them out, and I'm happy they've done so far. Now the rest needs to be sent, and we're told we'll get paid on time now for our new payments (which one was included in the payments we just got).

Hopefully this is the start of a new trend. If they wanted to steal my funds, they should have done so before this as they've paid out quite a bit more than they'd get back if they never paid me again.

Good deal...now take the money and run:1orglaugh

Yah... they are learning and trying to say alive.. if/when they get their shit together hands down they will tops in the biz... they just got to get it together and keep it together. They want to survive and most of us want them to survive also ... I will sure add them back to our rotation once they have a good 3 months and these boards are more happy about them... Yah very true someone will not get paid but hope most do and they keep chugging along at low processing rates.

I got a payment for 800 today. But I am due quite a bit more from the first month with "new" Z still, and a giant chunk of my old cash simply is not being handed over(although they did make one large payout right before the switch).

Glad they are paying people...but I had to switch back to Verotel,when they closed my account and my rate is about 7% (lower than Zombaio) and I haven't had a single late payment in over a year...so for me not impressed that they are trying after getting a no interest loan with webmasters payouts and reserves :pimp

Contact me with your merchant id RegUser and I will see if I can do something about your situation. My email is in my sig.

I can see that you are angry and it may well be justified but anonymous venting on boards doesn't often solve problems. If you are really a merchant owed money by Zombaio and not in "payment processing" as your Industry role description indicates (like everybody else in this thread :) ), contact me with your merchant id and I will see what I can do to help.

Oh so are you guys also paying camdough back the 10k you owe them ? I think you know full well you have no plans to payout any reserves that were not payed out before . Why don't you guys just pay all the people you owe money then you don't need go asking in the boards for people to contact you if they have not been paid . That's how I do my bills if I owe someone I pay them . I don't post a message in a board asking people I owe money to tell me so that I can pay them .Is that how you do your girls to ? If they don't ask for their cam money you don't pay them ?
No I am not in the "payment processing " business , but I am happy to tell anyone who contacts me on my message wall who I am using and that they settle me everyday and my funds are received in my bank account within 2 days and the rate is under 5%.They have more integration options than zombaio could ever dream of having .
So congrats on your new gig from zombaio supporter to zombaio support . I think anyone who has read your previous post under your other name knows exactly who you are ;) .

So you are not a merchant but one of your friends is and for some reason he needs you to speak for him? OK. I obviously can't get involved in board discussions about third parties but if you would like to help your friend, tell him to contact me and I will discuss his situation with him directly.

Please stop mentioning CamDough. We are working out our issue with them directly and we do not need anyone assisting us in doing so. Especially someone not related to CamDough.

Thanks

No none of my friends are merchants Paul . I do not need to speak for any merchant . If someone ask me the merchant I am currently using I am happy to share that information with them . What you are trying to do here is to make it look like the merchants are doing this Paul . The only merchants that I have seen post on this thread or other zombaio threads have only offered support to people who were already looking for a merchant . Now get back to paying the people Zombaio owes money and this thread will go very quiet .

Sorry Paul the road back to respectability is a bit harder than 4 post. Zombaio screwed and STOLE from alot of people and paying back some people in a slow dripping manner doesn't change this fact.

Zombaio may fool some people who feel they have no alternative , but I am sure you have burned the bridge for the majority. Zombaio explanation of what has happen to peoples payouts and reserves is fuzzy and bullshit at best. So instead of thinking of this as a fresh start for the company, think of it more as a confessional and explain to the industry why this company should ever be trusted again. Oh, and trying to pay everybody back is what you should do, so no cookies for that:pimp

You wouldn't be saying that the new Zombaio support is our very own favorite tootsie wearing unbiased (sarcasm) Zombaio cheerleader himself, would you....lol? Say it ain't so..lol:1orglaugh:Oh crap

Something is really fucked up about this. According to the address listed in the e-mail I received, Zombaio's apparent new owner, Paynet Systems Inc. is located at
Suite 508 Marina Towers
Newtown Barracks Road
Belize City, Belize.

Well, search that on Google Maps and you'll see they are in THIS building. You've got to be fucking kidding me! Some run down hotel on the 5th floor? WTF? The longer I have to wait for my money, the more I look into this shit and the more I look into this shit, the stinkier it gets. Fuck! https://ssl.panoramio.com/photo/86560485 Where's my fucking money, Zombaio?

Yeah probably just a shell company to isolate them from lawsuits and also give the appearance of new owners..lol

Exactly what it looks like to me, as well. What I find really strange is that NO ONE, not ONE payment processor is willing to come out and make the same offer to its customers (or at least as a promotion, to gain new ones) as Zombaio does. Same deal, not some 'temporary' version of it, not some 'trial basis' but the real deal. There is so much wrong with this industry. It's both scary and hysterical at the same time and that's special because not many companies can make that claim.

LOL!!! Great post amanda, thanks!

Wait, I think I can see John on the 5th floor....

But who's the guy on the bike? Gee... look at all that cash in his pockets, he must be in charge for the payouts...

Amanda what deal is that...i am getting 7.9% at Verotel that is less than Zombaio normal 9.9% deal, the only time you get 4.9% is when you are doing $75k weekly.
Verotel will work with you on MC/Visa fees, plus since I have been back with them, they havent missed or been late with a payment in over a year.

I'm tired of Z not being upfront and honest with me, so I'm interested in hearing from more legit payment processors for a subscription based site and leaving Z entirely by February 1. Honestly, I'm a little confused as to some of these options, though. So reps, please PM me and I will let you know my needs.

the thing is Paul, in contacting support all I get as an 'inactive' merchant is a we can't say when unsettled amounts will be sent out.

Don't get me wrong, I have no complaints about Zombaio support; Jesper, David and Michal have been awesome to me. I don't hold them responsible for these delays and Z merchant support (sadly) continues surpass my current payment gateway.

That said this current situation with the 'new zombaio' in terms of payments is unacceptable. The notion of sending new subscriptions in order to get paid back funds when I'm owed from July feels crazy to me.

Does Zombaio have an ETD on overdue funds for inactive merchants? If so, when?

I also got 3 large payments.

Sorry but it is more than likely your overdue funds are being used to pay other merchants.
Owed funds from July and its Dec....damn!!!!:Oh crap

Please email me with your merchant id and I will see what I can do.

The building is having some teething issues, please be patient.

Is this a joke? Last time I saw this request the requested got a shut down account.

Sure as hell can't remember who that was though... 69 or something

Given that Zombaio has had trouble paying, while offering the deal they have, the math may just not work for the processors with more reasonable (from our perspective) fees.

time will tell I guess. I will email Paul with my merchant ID-as I have nothing to hide. None of my sites offer Z processing currently anyways, as I won't process a dime through Zombaio until I'm paid in full, until other Z-processors I'm in contact with are paid in full.

My adult work isn't a game, it's a significant portion (1/3) of my livelihood. In my business I'm responsible for payouts of 1000s per week. Small potatoes to some but for me it's huge. To the women I pay it's huge. Hell, for myself not having to pay out from my savings like I did all fucking summer is huge.

On payout day I do not rest until everyone is paid in full, as that's a significant aspect of my job. I can't fathom a person sleeping peacefully knowing that they have a debt unpaid. In my case I had to pay peeps thousands out of pocket for months even after leaving Z, and both my current processor and Z apparently couldn't care less about their commitments.

At least Z answers emails in a timely fashion; it's kinda sad that I have my own merchant account with a payment gateway and that I'm on a first name basis/mutual appreciation society basis with my merchant bank*, as my so-called merchant account/payment gateway rep rep is utterly useless.

So yeah, in terms of unprofessional conduct I don't have a lot of patience but at the same time I'm cutting Z some slack in at least attempting to get their ish together, as for all their faults they have been superior in every way to my current processor

Tomorrow I'll email Paul with my merchant ID, if I get canned for speaking up so be it. I doubt I will be, time will tell and I'll def report back here either way.

Wishing everyone the best of luck in getting paid, I really hope Z can survive this and get their ish together.

*If anyone from Humboldt bank reads this, Tamara deserves a raise. I've already sent emails in this regard to her superiors.

See what you can do....lol ? What did Zombaio forget that they haven't paid a merchant in 6 months...get real? Why do people have to beg for their money, Zombaio has obviously collected it. I will tell you why PONZI:thumbsup

Thought that guy looked familiar.. kinda looks like this guy on this bike.. https://gfy.com/17582446-post45.html

Oh, I definitely remember that...lol:pimp

This thread is disturbing :1orglaugh

definitely with those pictures

Paul- I am an active processor and still have had nothing worked out for the money I am owed. I'd been emailing with you guys about money owed and messages stopped. Why is this and when can I expect my funds?
