ISSUE - Forum subscription renewal

Dragon2U · 01-27-2012, 04:59 AM

Okay, so I'm trying to pay for my 5th year as a member here. I feel that it's better forum support to pay yearly instead of "lifetime" as the forum gets more of my money. For some strange reason when attempt to use Paypal the ONLY option is to pay the funds out of my personal linked account and not from my Paypal balance.

WTH? Can someone with authority provide me with instructions to pay the renewal fees out of my Paypal account and NOT my other accounts? I've never seen this before from any vendor and would rather not start now. And before the peanut gallery chimes in, yes, I have funds available in the Paypal account.

TIA

What a guy!!!

And here I thought it would be better for the forum if I "prepaid" the funds giving them the opportunity to invest my $100 and turn it into millions over the lifetime!

At least we both had the forums best interest at heart!
Sorry, I have nothing informative to say on the PayPal issue.

PM the administrator for this type of assistance.

It sure sounds odd to me too.

Good Luck, Dragon . . . but it sounds like it may be an issue with PayPal.

Yeah, that 1% in the bank and 10% loss in the markets really add up quickly. Actually after I thought about it this is my 7th year. Guess I am starting to pay for "double lifetime", lol

We'll see but I'm pretty sure it's how they (autoforums) set up to accept payment on their end. Not sure why I just can't pay them how I want and include my screen name and forum.

Well, waited all day, no reply from autoforums or any moderators here. Called Paypal and they stated that the merchant (autoforums) is the one who sets up payment terms and choices at checkout. So ..... I guess I will wait another day and hope someone that is in charge of payments will contact me with assistance.

I have nothing to do with PayPal on our great site.

I will have to contact one of Auto Forums's "traveling" mutli-tasking Aministrator(s) to try and help you out.

Hi there, I apologize for the delay as I had to leave Friday for a family emergency and just back and logged on. I have sent you a reply to your PM so we can take care of this for you. Thanks!

Cheers,
Cayne

Sent payment over a week ago and awaiting update. I've sent PMs to you and have had no response but I do see you've been on the site.

Any help is appreciated

Yes, but my "subscription" runs out on the 10th. Just didn't want to loose pictures and messages if the account gets downgraded.

We haven't received anything yet as you said you've sent it in the mail. I'll make sure your account subscription date is updated. Thanks for your concern.
