Paypal Payment Processor Issues

by Harrison in News Flash

As you might have noticed, we use Paypal for our payment processor.  What does this mean?  It means that Paypal handles all our transactions and credit card processing.  When you enter your credit card to buy a Spokeo premium account, we pass all that info right to Paypal, and then Paypal takes care of the rest.  Paypal (an Ebay company) is a reputable brand known for their data security, so we chose Paypal for that extra peace of mind.

Paypal has been experiencing a big problem since Thursday (11/6), and they are not processing payments correctly for all their merchants (yup, this is a big problem affecting a lot of people).  Since we don’t store any of our customers’ financial info, there’s nothing we can do at the moment other than to wait for Paypal’s resolution.  We have been talking to Paypal since Friday morning to resolve this issue, but Paypal has yet to come up a solution. 

We are giving all affected customers complimentary premium accounts right now, so most of you should not notice any problem or service hiccup.  That said, if you notice anything wrong, please let us know right away, and we will resolve all issues as soon as Paypal fixes their problems.  Thank you for your patience and understanding.
