2checkout Staff – Who is the customer?

Ok I have a question

We vendors use the 2checkout service to help us process online payments and orders made by our customers.

Here I think lies the problem. In many correspondences I have had they say ”Our customer” regarding orders. I believe that have this completely wrong! WE are their customers. The people placing orders via our site are OUR customers and we should be allowed to deal with them directly. Here is an example of a screw up by 2checkout staff.

One of the 2checkout reps doing emails got this

Details: Sale Number: 3793216620
Our customer has sent us an on-line correspondence, regarding this issue:” to whom it may concern:

i recently joined blackandwhitesingles.com….after a few days i decided to upgrade.after giving my credit card info the system said i had entered the wrong address.i immediately corrected that and never was upgraded.so i deleted my user name and password from the system…a couple of days later i was emailed a receipt charging my card ,yet i cant get into the system to use it and never was upgraded when i did try to use it.now i am wanting my money back or access to the sight.

my 2co.com receipt number is:3793216620

the merchant order id is AR-7339650-y

Ok….now there is one major thing wrong with this email. We aren’t www.blackandwhitesingles.com we are www.afroromance.com So I contacted the customer and sent a query regarding which site he was referring to and I got this back

”oh my gosh.i have contacted the wrong site.please forgive me.i was referring to blackandwhitesingles.com.that is the site that charged my card and never upgraded my account.I am very happy with afroromance.com.i dont know for sure what to do now….help”

BUT guess what! 2checkout staff cancelled the recurring billing on OUR subscription! Now, I know the customer quoted our order number but he didn’t say the correct site name and within 5 minutes I had sorted him out and helped him get in contact with the correct site. Now I don’t expect 2checkout staff to email MY customer to get clarification but I DO expect 2checkout staff to leave the order alone until I have sorted it out and let ME deal with MY customer. Now I can’t reverse the cancellation and neither can the customer until this recurring order cancelled. So he now has the inconvenience of having to have to resubscribe when the time comes.

Also why don’t 2checkout log customer complaints as issues anymore? (they used to be highlighted in red when you logged in)

Why don’t 2checkout have an escalation process ie I should have access to a supervisor regarding this issue as I believe the employee acted hastily and this has cost both us AND 2checkout future revenue from this customer.

I may be the vendor but what 2checkout fail to realise is that I am it’s customer NOT the people who use them as a conduit on our website in order to get MY products.

Customers now being charged for shipping

This just started happening last week or so. I have a product where I do not charge a shipping cost I include it into the price ($45.00 including shipping). Before everything was working fine. I have the product set of 0.00 handling and 0.00 weight for shipping and it would not charge the customer for shipping. Now it seems to charge $5.00 for shipping on that product. I don’t know what is going on and any help on fixing this problem would be great.

Thanks,

Jasen

what a card can I receive money to

Hi, I’am interesting in being started using your service. I have local VISA Internet card. Is it engough to become seller? Or another type of card (f.e. VISA Electron) is needed?
Thanks.

How long before I know that my revenues are really mine?

Hi,

Once again, I got a note from lpruitt@2checkout.com letting me know that someone claimed that the transaction was fraudulent. The transaction is from April 24, 2007. That’s over 90 days!

What the 2co policy on aging? How long do I have to wait until I know that the money that I earned in exchange for my services — which were all delivered within 30 days, in other words more than 60 days ago — is safe from the predations of either (a) fraudulent customers or (b) people who may have been defrauded, but only read their credit card statements every 90 days?

At some point, we need to have closure on our revenues. They can’t always be up for grabs!

I’d appreciate it if someone from 2co would explain this.

Thanks, Mike

Congratulations to the 45 million USD sold

Dear 2Checkout staff,

I must such congratulate 2checkout for such booming business. In an interview today, Medisons’s CEO Valdi Ivancic claims Medison have sold 300,000 units for 150 dollars each, a total of 45 million US dollars.

45 million US dollars and 300,000 orders, that’s not peanuts for 2checkout.

And here I am, thinking all along that Medison was all hot air and a scam.

Would you like to comment on this recent success story?

Sincerely,
congatom

Fighting chargebacks?

Why aren’t we able to fight chargebacks? Today I got an email about one of my orders made over a month ago saying:

DISPUTE REASON 59: Services Not Rendered. Please provide proof of
services rendered.

I went to my account to provide proof, but when I found the sale I saw that it was already refunded. Why? If there is a chargeback, we are supposed to provide proof to fight against it, not immediately refund the buyer. Why would 2Checkout send a refund before finishing the chargeback process?

Pending Refunds?

One of the first orders i had was on 2007-07-24 08:20:37.
All the orders i had between then and now have been processed except for that one.

Now, I issued a refund to that customer because he bought the same product twice. So I can see why it would take longer to process this.
But it has been 13 days now, nothing has changed.

Is 2co going to take care of this or did I miss some fine-print in the knowledge base that implies that my reason for the refund is somehow invalid?
The longer the customer has to wait for ”me” to fix his mistake, the less likely I’ll see him back.
People dont like to mess about when it comes to credit cards.

Kind Regards

Is it the correct payment gateway for me?

I’m building an ecommerce website for a company based in Australia. They have a merchant bank number and they want to save the payer details (e.g. credit card number) in their database. Is it the correct payment gateway to fulfill the above requirements?

We have Phones in Europe too

I’ve been getting some complaints from users and I tend to agree with them.

When purchasing, they’re required to enter a phone number. In US format…
Which basically means I’ll receive a fake number and my customers are annoyed.

Equally confusing is the list of states. The first entry on the list should be ”Not a US resident”.

Several problems still remaining with transaction page

Hi 2co –

I am a vendor and have used your company for about a year with very satisfying results. However, ever since the new transaction page/system was installed a short time ago, things went haywire as I’m sure several of your customers have made you aware of, such as:

1. The page where a customer enters their contact info. Everything is justified to the right for some weird reason. There are three seperate boxes to enter one’s first, middle & last name but no indication as to what each box is for. And the boxes are all over the place.
2. Required items are in bold, but there is no indication or wording indicating that bold means ”required”.
3. The postal code is a required item, yet that’s not in bold, so customers are skipping over it, only to find an error message when they submit the page telling them to enter their postal code. Ok…so…why wasn’t it in bold to begin with…?
4. The drop down list of countries should have United States at the top – isn’t that what most Amercian based cc processors do? Instead, the first country is Afghanistan, and one has to scroll all the way down to United States, which is tedious and unnecessary.
5. The page where one enters their credit card info. There’s no visual description of what the CCV number is on one’s credit card. Every other cc processor has this description. Why not 2co?
6. Once the transaction is processed, my customers come to a page that tells them their ”order is complete”. Directly below that is wording telling them their ”order is pending”. Directly below that is a button instructing them that by clicking on it, they’ll ”return to the supplier’s website”. Yet, by clicking this button, they wind up receiving their product – which in my case is a downloadable media file. Which is great. But why does this page tell them their order is pending and why does the button say it’ll take them back to the supplier’s website when it does something completely different?? Why not have ”click here to finalize your order” the way it was before. This is a no-brainer to fix, in my opinion. It’s also having a very negative effect on my customers who are extremely confused by these misleading instructions.
7. It gets even better: Anytime one of my customers purchases more than one product at a time, the button on the final transaction page doesn’t show up at all. So, basically, they paid for the product without the means to even get it if they actually go so far as to figure out what the button means to begin with, what with the misleading instructions. So, I’ve had a lot of customers ask me where their product is when this happens which is creating major difficulties for all concerned.

I submitted a helpdesk ticket about three weeks ago and was told that the issues are being ”addressed”.
I followed up with a couple of phone calls to the customer service line and was told that the issues have been ”recognized” and will be addressed through the next rollout (this was over a week ago).

I have been performing demo trnasactions everyday since then and ALL of these problems (which seem to be very easy to fix, most of it is just changing wording and style) STILL remain.

Everybody I have spoken to so far has been friendly and attentive and I appreciate that. What I’d like to see are some actual results, or at least an accurate timetable as to when these changes will be implimented.

Please help me out on this one. You guys have been great, but since changing the transaction page/process this has been a complete nightmare. Please please please – I’d love to hear some good news on all of the above so I don’t have to walk my customers through every step of what is currently a very confusing transaction process.

Whaddya say?
