Payment [Resolved]

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Payment [Resolved]

Post by Hilda Nyanchama »

Hello, I am from Kenya, I am a reviewer here. My PayPal account was limited am thus am unable to receive payment from online book club. In Kenya we have a mobile payment system called MPESA, I have actually received several international payment through MPESA. Is it possible for online bookclub to pay through this method? Thanks

Hi Hilda, I'm from Kenya too. Nice to know you. The administration currently only uses PayPal as the method of payment. They may be considering other methods but it's yet to be communicated. I'm sorry to hear that your account was limited. Can you get to the PayPal team concerning this issue?

Hello,

And thank you for reaching out. I am very sorry for the delay in answering your message. I see that @Kigen Valarie already suggested you could contact PayPal's customer service concerning this issue; have you already done that?

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Thank you, and have a good day,
Kirsi

As Kirsi has said, you have to solve the issue with PayPal. However, there was a poll on Facebook on other payments options that can be added that was started by Scott. I think Mpesa was among the options. You'd want to vote for it through this link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/4161124 ... 0/?app=fbl

I believe when the suggested payment options will be feasible enough, the management will add it... Hopefully.

Nice knowing you too Owen. I just made sure I went to that post to vote for mpesa. I had not seen it before. Glad you mentioned it.

Hi I was also wanting to know when the payment will be made to PayPal. I have done a review on The Vine and my review got published about 3 weeks ago.
