METACHARGE , WORLDPAY AND PAYPAL

the three sites in the topic are the methods provided by vbulletin to use when purchase a vailed copy of vbulletin forum , but isn't that make it hard for us ( arabian coutries ) to purchase, most of us can't use the three payment gates cause he's living in arabian country and farther more paypal doesn't even allow us to use its services .. man i'm trying to purchase a copy for a week now and i can't get through .. so who's you gonna blame for using a nulled copy !!

Ah you don't have to answer that it was an angry thoughts

Ehm.. :)

There are other ways to purchase vBulletin as well. You can do a wire transfer or use your credit card. You can't blame JelSoft because PayPal isn't available in your country.

It seems more like a lame excuse for using a nulled copy; if you really have the intention to purchase the retail software you'll find a way to do it.

It is true that vBulletin does not currently employ a credit card processor that deals well with purchases in Arabic countries.

I'm from Egypt too. I've tried to order it for my brother via WorldPay the last week, but the order was refused.


I'm sorry but that order was rejected because WorldPay flagged it a 'high risk':

Risk Assess: High
WorldAlert: Warning

Unfortunately we have recently been threatened with a $50,000 fine from the credit card companies because of numerous credit card fraud and chargebacks issued against us. For this reason we are being forced to reject many purchases that have questionable information, including those that have a WorldPay warning on them or have incomplete and/or inaccurate address and telephone data.

We regret if this affects you but we are a small company and cannot afford a fine of this size. At this time you will need to use one of the other payment options to complete your purchase. Very sorry for the inconvenience.



So, I'm waiting untill the order expires, and restore the money. Then we're gonna try another method.

I had problems with making payments for VBulletin too and am from the UK you would think that it would be easy wouldnt you well it wasn't

I agree VBulletin neds to make it easier for people to purchase however you need to think about what you said it is no excuse to run an ILLEGAL copy thats just wrong.

However they do need to make it easier like I said it took me nearly a month to sort out payment issues.

But once you have it then it is worth it I undertstand as well where spiros was coming from you can make payments several ways but they need to come up with soemthign instant but easier as other payment methods can take ages to process where am an instan person and like things there and then.

Once u get vb though you realise it is worth the wait I suppose lol.

Anyway :D thats my views on the subject.

I agree that there should be easier methods or maybe a wider range than what is currently avalible for people living in arabic countries.

I think that vbulletin should maybe start selling the forum script like software in places like Pc World. Just do the same with a lisence key and have to register it online for it to work. That way people without credit cards (me) can purchase it using cash.

You don't need a credit card, you can also pay by Check or Wire Transfer.
