There have been rumors for some time and now it's official...
StormPay.com is Gone -- More or Less.
If you're using StormPay to accept payment on your website, you
need to switch to another service right away.
So what's the story?
Well, if you log in to your StormPay account and scroll to the
bottom of the page, you'll see a policy change that will rock
the foundations of many online business owners.
Basically, as of 2 days ago, StormPay only handles payments for
items bought and sold in StormPay Auctions. Yes, StormPay
Auctions only -- nothing else. You can no longer accept payments
on your website nor can you send or receive any kind of payments
outside of StormPay Auctions.
According to their update, they've done this "to insure a safer
online experience for both buyers and sellers" and to make sure
"that sold items are within StormPay?s acceptable use policies".
This is probably down to StormPay's recent 'complications'. Run
a search at http://news.google.com for "stormpay autosurf"
(without the quotes) to learn more about what's been going on.
Anyway, that seems to be it as far as StormPay is concerned.
It's crazy to think that they didn't even contact their users to
let them know.
In fact, the policy text itself is hidden away at the bottom of
the page under the very happy-clappy title "What's New". Sort of
an "Oh, by the way..." thing.
At least they're nice enough to "apologize for any inconvenience
this may have caused".
Inconvenience? What inconvenience...!?
If you need to switch to another way of sending and receiving money online, you can do so right here by signing up to any of these well known, and trusted servive providers.
