It's not to say you have to do it for all members you get, but the first X members so that you guys get started off on a strong foot. I have to admit that while Payoneer took a bit longer to come here, their first post was much better than Paxum's first posts and included a very good thing to help alleviate trust issues - that their cards are FDIC insured. They're the first to have said that or anything like that so far.
I do appreciate you coming here and offering up responses as I'm sure others are. The fact of the matter is that you guys really should be doing EVERYTHING you can to get members in the door, which I think should include some "loss leader" tactics since you're going up against established players. I mean sooner or later, a smart company in your field will take a look at PayPal's beginning and do the same, and you all will be left wondering how you missed the bevy of post-Epassporte opportunity that was there before that company takes all your biz.
There's not room for a lot of competition in this area as people only want to use 1 or maybe at most 2 of you, and as I and others have mentioned, many of us are simply waiting to see which 1 or 2 will really step up and take the bull by the horns and prove themselves viable and worthy of our business.

This has to be one of the best posts I've read on GFY in over a year that I've been a member here.
I am sitting back and waiting just like a majority of the other affiliates/webmasters here, to see what happens next, because my income actually matters to me just like others' incomes matter to them, and I am not going to take a hit like this again because another company wants to do a fucking belly flop on a bed of nails. That's not my way of business.
If I am not mistaken, I am
one of the first people to mention that in order to win our business, mine personally, these ridiculous fees need waived or cut in half for a few months or something... not all of us swim in $xx,xxx accounts. That's what people fail to realize. I do understand that there are a ridiculous amount of fees that the card companies have, too, but it is definitely going to take a whole lot of skill and intelligence, along with other things that can't be faked such as a business' reputation among many other factors, in order to win our business as members and clients to your payment/funds services.
I am very interested to see what happens in the coming month, especially over today and tomorrow and the following week, once St. Kitts makes their official announcement about our cards and money that they promised to us by Sep 30. On that note, I am bookmarking this thread as I do not visit here much, and I would like to see where this thread goes.
