Bidpay Website
Answer
since most of our customers pay direct into our bank account. (We don't accept PayPal due to associated potential for mail fraud.) We accept WU money orders and have never had a problem with them.
Answer
I just signed up on their website in order to pay for an item with my paypal mastercard debit card. After July 31st I won't be able to use their service because that is my only credit card.
I'm curious as to why they would stop using MasterCard. It is probably some kind of corporate thing. I looked through their FAQ which is already updated to show: What cards can I use? Visa, AmEx.
Answer
Time to get a Visa card in the wallet just in case more stores/busninesses dump MC in the future.
Answer
I believe this may be the same issue as WalMart ... trying to force M/C to bow to their wishes and rates they want to pay instead of what M/C wants to charge. I'm only repeating the speculation I've read elsewhere, I certainly don't know for sure.
