Yeah your not wrong Dean, Ultimately you get what you pay for, However i'm well impressed with Nochex, They interview you over the phone, i have my own account manager and a direct line. All the ID checks are done beforehand, and the proofs of ID sent to them before getting your account fully opened.
Which is the correct way of doing things as opposed to paypal freezing acounts when they feel like it. Loads of friends have told me to withdrawl my money from paypal imeadiately, because of the risk of having your account frozen and it could happen at anytime.
But that kinda defeats the object in a way, if you don't trust the company that you use to process your payments.
If business picks up, then yeah, i'll go for worldpay or secpay, a more professional merchant service, but i must admit Nochex is living upto my expectations already.
I've heard stories that Paypal can and will freeze accounts upto 160 days and some businesses have thousands in their accounts.
What a Bunch of crooks
