Renewing Domain Using Paypal

by Bpoetic Thu 29 Dec - 18:14

Is Paypal still an option for domain renewal in the US?

by tylercole Thu 29 Dec - 19:45

Yes it is. Very Happy

All available options to the founder are in the administration panel (Misc. > Credits Management > Purchase Credits).

Thank you both! I have had my site since Feb 2008 and always used Paypal. Never had the problem I am encountering now:

As you can see from the last picture, the redirect from Credits management to Paypal is a DNS Error. Is there a work-a-round for this?

hmmm... so wierd, mine does the same thing I just found as I try to pay with pay pal as well. Sounds like a problem the pros better be digging into?

is this solved yet?? my domain is exp in 36 days and i want to renew via paypal thanks

by Bpoetic Sat 31 Dec - 9:22

Yes Denny, mine expires in like 13 days!

by tylercole Sat 31 Dec - 12:20

Well mine doesn't expire for a year, however I need to buy credits. Are Forumotion staff working on this?

by Bpoetic Sat 31 Dec - 13:47

Seems this is not a new problem:

[IMPORTANT] Paypal unavailable

Is the problem being worked on?

by tylercole Sat 31 Dec - 13:50

I think that was an old post I think.

by Bpoetic Sat 31 Dec - 14:28

So I thought I may use one of the other options available: Skrill. McAfee is warning me against this website!

As for the 3rd option:Allopass, I don't even understand it. :-(

by tylercole Sat 31 Dec - 14:47

Yeah, same here. Paypal is the ONLY option for me! I am surprised forumotion staff has not said anyhting yet?

Ok, but these link were from a while ago. I have used paypal since then, but now it is not working again. Is this just going to be a temporary thing? I struggled to find a paying option with forumotion forums before, and I managed to use pay pal. Now it is not working?

by **SLGray** Sat 31 Dec - 19:23

We do not have any information about this yet.

SLGray, if you or another Forumotion official would provide me with an email address/mobile number/or name where the payments are RECEIVED, I can use my Paypal to complete my order. I have precious little time left before I will lose my domain name and ability to block adds for the coming year. As I have shown above, Skrill is an unreliably dangerous site for me to use. I do not have a smart phone, so I suspect this is why I cannot use Allopass. Please, help me to remedy this situation. I have another site that has members involved and thousands of pieces of their personal work posted. What shall I do?

by Denny Sun 1 Jan - 10:02

same here....before i can use aloopass to buy credit but now its not available again for my country and also via aloopass is a bit difficult because 1 text is 100 credit while we need like 2600 credit to disable the ads and renew our domain which is inconvenience to have text 20+ times ... can technician solve this problem ? because we really need to renew our domain and ads free and the easiest and safest way is via paypal

by Bpoetic Sun 1 Jan - 11:49

Exactly Denny!

by tylercole Sun 1 Jan - 12:37

Yeah guys, same problem. However we can't blame forumotion for this since it appears this is a fault on Paypals side of things. Assuming they are working on it? We are just going to have to hang in here for a while. Hopefully they get back to us as soon as possible.
