Issues with Pay Pal payments over the past couple of weeks

  • Comment
We've noticed an increase in support tickets recently related to payments failing when attempting to purchase Supporter or Premium Membership on the site. This issue seems to have only affected a small subset of people who have purchased membership through Pay Pal, but it's important I get the word out so these users are not out of pocket or out of membership they legitimately paid for on the site.

The issue was caused by a communication error between Pay Pal's services and our services. We've put a fix in place and will be monitoring the situation closely over the coming weeks.

If you've purchased Supporter or Premium Membership from us over the past two weeks, please verify that your membership is working properly. Similarly, if your payment "failed" for whatever reason, and you tried to purchase the membership again, please double check to make sure you were not double charged. If you find any issues or anomalies related to your purchase do not hesitate to contact me, providing any pertinent details, and I will get to the bottom of it as soon as possible. If you already sent in a support ticket over the weekend, I'll be taking a look at them right now.

Our paid memberships are extremely important to us and the continued existence of the sites, so please rest assured any issues will be looked into seriously, reimbursed where necessary and compensated accordingly.

    I wish to buy Premium, but all my payments are redirected to PayPal, and it doesnt accept any of the cards I own. I cant find the separate CC/DC method you talk of either. What do I do?

    Personally...I hate PayPal! They want info all the way to your bank acct numbers which I didn't give them. That's where we parted ways. What are our payment options here at Nexus? Sorry, I'm old, I forgot...It's allowed for old farts.


     
    a.  No need to give PayPal your banking info.  A CC is adequate.
     
    b.  The Nexus accepts either PayPal or CC for Supporter/Premium membership.  Perhaps you could use the latter?

      I'm not sure where you are located. I live in the United States of America. I use a store-purchased American Express debit card called A BlueBird card for all of my online purchases. Unfortunately "Nexus" does not accept my Bluebird American Express card and my bank requires my special permission to do overseas purchases which I basically refuse to do anyway. So, I have the Bluebird card connected to my PayPal account. This prevents anyone from being able to get any of my normal banking info. If you live in an "other-than" third-world country there is probably some kind of a pay as you go debit card available for use in the same way. I hope this helps.

      You got something against profit? People who provide a service (that you apparently find valuable in some way, evidenced by your presence here) getting paid?

    How dare you try and run a business that provides a valuable service to its customers AND makes a profit AND hires paid staff AND runs all kinds of fun prize events! For shame!

    FWIW, I still think Nexus got the short end of the stick on this sweet lifetime premium thing I got a few years back, lord knows how many mods I downloaded since that time at high speed, but thanks for all the fish bandwidth and fun
