warning 2checkout!

[RobFerrari]

I'm not sure who else is using 2checkout at http://www.2checkout.com, but they are one of the default payment processing partners for subscriptions within vBulletin. I have been a customer of theirs for almost 15 years as an alternative to Paypal.

Warning they just changed their requirements this month requiring payment privacy policy, refund policy, and physical contact info public on your website.

The privacy and refund policy is actually a good idea, although I have never needed it in 15 years and tens of thousands of transactions.

What I have a major problem with is 2checkout requiring I make my address and phone available to the public with my contact info! I explained that I'm an internet business, work from my private home, and that every page on my website has a contact form and I respond to all.

They said my payments would be held until I added the address and phone. I refused, so have dropped them.

This is ridiculous, I have worked with other payment processors and this isn't required. Paypal doesn't require any of this! They simply don't understand the nature of our business and privacy concerns.
