    Solved Pay without using Paypal and Allpass

    Post by xsdenied February 10th 2013, 4:08 pm

    The Situation
    I need to renew my custom domain www.destinycrew.org it expires in 22 days.

    The Problem
    I live in Pakistan and neither Paypal nor Allpass enable people from Pakistan to make payments using their services.

    Background
    • I purchased the domain years ago, through forumotion.
    • I've been getting free renewals, thanks to the traffic my forums has.
    • This time around though I haven't received any such offer yet, so I'm assuming I'm not getting a free renewal. Though I'd be happy to get it if my forums are eligible.


    The Question
    (1) If I'm eligible for a free renewal, let me know and thanks in advance.
    (2) If I'm not eligible for a free renewal, please let me know how I can renew this domain?

    1) You will know it in the admin panel if you will be offered a free domain based on your forum activity. We cannot confirm it.
    2) To renew a domain name buying credits is required which can only be done via Allopass & Paypal

    That doesn't quite solve the problem now, does it.

    To quote my original post.
    I live in Pakistan and neither Paypal nor Allpass enable people from Pakistan to make payments using their services.

    Is there some other way I can make this payment? Western Union? TF to the forumotion accounts? anything?

    Sorry, those are the only two ways. Forumotion has not control over the countries listed. You can activate the donation system where members that can use them can donate.

    Fair enough. I'll try some other means to get the credits.

    However, just a suggestion. Please look into other means of making a payment for credits. Including accepting a Visa/Mastercard, through a middleman merchant like moneybrokers, 2co, or something else so that people who love your service, and want to pay for more functionality don't get held up.

    Basically by relying on these 2 methods only, what the current situation says is "if your country isn't approved by our middlemen, we don't want your money". And I believe that isn't the case for this, or any other business.

    Thanks in any case.
