What payment processing method/provider is safe to use for IM related products?

I didn't ask for your advice on how I should name my products nor how I should run my business. I don't need any general advice of that kind from you, ok? This thread is NOT about you giving such general advices to me.

If you don't like what's discussed in this thread why don't you just leave it? There are hundreds of other threads where such advices might be appreciated by newbies who still know nothing.

Well, I think it doesn't help to say that they won't do business with IM products. One of their representatives actually posted here earlier today, in a different thread, I think, to point out that that isn't so.

Ezine Articles also won't allow PLR to be mentioned in articles submitted there, and won't accept resource-box links to sites endorsing PLR, but it doesn't mean they won't have anything to do with "IM". It means that PLR, specifically, gives some people/businesses problems.

You're welcome.

No irony was intended, but I do see that this wasn't clear and I regret the wording I used. Sorry!

Actually, it's about the simple fact that the word Brian Kindsvater used in his post - the one you used as evidence - was "pressured" and then you used the word "forced."

However.

The nouns "force" and "pressure" mean damn near the same thing. If you apply force, you are pretty much by definition applying pressure. The "force of law" is, actually, pressure applied by the law. A "police force" applies, well, police pressure.

I can think of only one instance where the words "force" and "pressure" are not synonymous in the noun sense, and that is when I consider the possibility of Obi-Wan Kenobi teaching Luke Skywalker to use the Pressure. (Athough I imagine that would probably have involved a Billy Joel song and a badass dream-sequence montage, which would actually be pretty cool.)

It is when you use the verbs "force" and "pressure" that a subtlety creeps into the matter. If you are forced, this is about coercion, usually by violence or the threat of violence; if you are pressured, this is about persuasion and manipulation. There are similarities, but most saliently "force" implies being told exactly what to do... while "pressure" implies being given a goal which may be solved in any way desired.

Anyone who does not speak English as their first language can, I think, be forgiven if they don't intuitively grasp this subtlety. I personally never even considered that English might not be Alminc's first language, because he speaks it excellently. I'd be hard pressed to say more than a few obscenities and some Karamell lyrics in Swedish.

What confounds me is that PayPal is not doing any such thing. PayPal will pretty much give an account to anyone, no approval or verification required, and just limit your ability to use it until you attach a bank account or credit card to it.

The reason we hear so many horror stories about PayPal is that pretty much everybody is using PayPal. You know how you're sitting here saying that PayPal isn't safe for IM products?

WSO Pro, JVZoo, MooshPay, and DigiResults all internally use PayPal.

Every single product on them is processing PayPal. All of them. Every sale. Every dime trading hands on those networks is through PayPal. The few high-profile cases we're seeing where people got their accounts closed don't even begin to register next to the money passing through PayPal for IM products.

Through WSO Pro alone, that's over $31 million.

What PayPal is cracking down on is a series of behaviours, not a class of products. They don't have a problem with PLR or resale rights. What they have a problem with is selling PLR and resale rights... because they're PLR and resale rights.

There's a whole class of people who don't understand this at all. And that's the problem - PayPal isn't. Your fundamental thesis, that PayPal is a bad payment processor for IM products, is flawed. You're asking for the answer to an incorrect question.

It's like asking what brand of car you should buy now that Saab is only making fighter jets. Even if you stomp around complaining that people aren't answering the question of what car to buy instead of a Saab, the fundamental issue is that you just told everybody not to buy Saab anymore because of some crap you don't entirely understand.

(Saab automobiles are produced by Swedish Automobile, having acquired the brand from General Motors in the mid-1990s, who in turn acquired the brand from Saab AB a few years earlier. Saab AB does, in fact, primarily make fighter jets and no longer produces automobiles - but the concern about availability of Saab automobiles comes from their impending bankruptcy, not Saab AB's 20-year old decision to get out of the car business.)
