"Bill Me Later"

[Carlos 360]

Recently, I was looking around in the paypal website and I stumbled across a new service...

The service is called "Bill Me Later." I would like vbulletin to start using this service to make paying vbulletin easier, and hassle-free.

To learn more - its over here.

I don't think this is any different to ordering with your credit card and paying off as much of that as you're able to every month.

It seems to be vendor specific, I think they're asking if vB is willing to be one of them.

You have to set a date in your PayPal account when to send the money

How do I pay for my Bill Me Later purchases?
To make a payment towards your Bill Me Later balance, just log in to PayPal. You'll see the Bill Me Later box on your Account Overview page. Click the Schedule Payment button to send a payment immediately or set one up for a future date. You can schedule up to three payments in advance.

Therefore it doesn't really make it easier to pay for vBulletin because If you don't have the money now, and you have it in a weeks time, just get it in a weeks time.

bill me later is worse than useing a credit card if you only make the minimum payments you will NEVER pay it off.

Vbulletin don't have to join this service.
It is a feature of PayPal.
Buy vB now,pay later to PayPal for it.
vB would receive the full amount from PayPal immediately.

Given the higher potential for fraud and the visual source nature of vBulletin, I doubt this is a payment method we wish to pursue. Paypal already provides methods for users to add money to their account and take advantage of things like this without us taking the added risks this would entail.

Ahh....don't worry about fraudulent users, PayPal has measures in place that prevents fraud. check the FAQ in the link I provided.

Convincing argument.

The measures listed on the link you provided are to protect the consumer, not the business. Even with such measures, there'd still be fraud. We see this daily.
