Any issues with Propay?

Hey Eric

If you mean from the standpoint of someone using Propay as their service and you paying them for goods or services, it will always come down to a matter of trust.  In my business I use Square.  Looks like the same thing.  Card reader goes on my phone, swipe the card and take a credit card payment.  

I say its trust thing because when I use looking into Square, the CEO of Veriphone, a MUCH more expensive competitor, went public with a story about how they were able to write an app that can capture your card info.  Just about every tech review site and mag said he was a jerk, and I couldn’t agree more, for saying that. The point they made was, you hand your credit card to a waiter without a second thought and they can be in the back run your cards through a dozen “capture” devices and you are none the wiser.  If a guy is a crook, he’s a crook with whatever tools he uses.

If you trust the people you are dealing with I don’t see what issue there would be for anyone to pays using that service.

Yeah, there is something fishy about this. Initially I payed with Paypal and he contacted me saying there was a problem and he cancelled the order. I in turn checked paypal and it did indeed get cancelled. He then said I could pay through this Propay. I'm not so sure I want to go any further with it, despite it being a smoking deal.

Recently, we ordered a magazine subscription and payed with a check. This was a door-to-door and I chided my wife for doing it. Not long after, our checking account was compromised and two charges were made on it. We tracked down the individuals and gave their name to the police. They didn't even seem to care! Pissed me off and as far as I know, nothing was done to them.  

I agree, you can't trust anyone.
