Not sure if this is the correct forum, pls move if that is the case. Hoping that this might clear some questions for people unsure on the payment process though.

Just wanted to say I was impressed by the order system and how quickly my order was processed. I was originally confused as to which processor to go through, and similar to most potential buyers was trying to figure out the fastest way to obtain vb. I considered Paypal as it had been mentioned that this method would be quick, but my understanding was that funds would have to be transferred into a paypal account first, and I couldn't find any info on how long paypal floats these funds.

I ended up paying through Metacharge, using a bank debit card with one of the major CC logos. As it was not a credit card, I was unsure as to whether the purchase would be classified as an e-check or direct ACH withdrawal. Metacharge (if you go to their site) will process debit cards, although the vb order forms make it look as if your card has to be a credit card to go through.

After placing my order, I received the confirmation email from vb for the order placement, an email for product download, and an email from Metacharge acknowledging the transaction had been processed. All 3 arrived pretty much instantaneously, and I was able to get to work on the actual forum (downloading, uploading to server, customizing, etc) within mere minutes.

:cool: Thanks. Couldn't have been more pleased with how things turned out, and hope this might help out whomever reads this.

We offer a number of payment choices as customers have different requirements. The online payment options (PayPal, Metacharge and Worldpay) are the quickest, although there is a slight delay for Worldpay transactions (can be up to 60 minutes). The cards accepted by each of the processors are shown with each of the processor options and most of the major options are offered.

Metacharge offers Delta and Electron options. Switch, Maestro and Solo transactions can be processed using Worldpay and PayPal.

These are as many online options as we can reasonably offer and manage effectively.

Pleased that you had a good turn out.

lol, still waiting on mine aswel. Paypal says expected day is today, maybe I have to wait until tonight to get it. :( I hate eCheck, and would advice ALL if you don't have to, dont pay with e-check.

Would eCheck be considered the transfer of funds from your bank account to vBulletin through PayPal?
