Did anyone else run into the issue of no credit cards being accepted for payment? I got some lame excuse from the dipshit that answered the phone about "international restrictions". Is this a US company or is it located offshore? Why would a company make it so hard to purchase their product? Anybody else have these issues?


Ok. Looked a little deeper, and it would seem FF is another outsourcer... SHARE-IT is located in the Fatherland, and because of that I cannot purchase it? Seems ridiculous.

----Well, I know that shareit doesn't allow hotmail/any free email for credit card purchases, that might be an issue ? If you use the contact form on the site here, I'm sure FF would be happy to help if they can. smile:)

I just purchased my copy yesterday with the good ole VISA card with no problems whatsoever.

Where are you from, what kind of a card?

Share-it appears to be a German based company, and Filter Forge is it's sub (I didn't read all the way through, whether it's a subcontractor or subsidiary) in any case, they're under the share-it's umbrella.
(I looked it up few days ago during the copyright discussion)

Unfortunately we won't be able to help you until Monday since our support team does not work on Saturday/Sunday. I hope you would like to wait till Monday so our team will try to help you. Share-It sometimes takes a bit too aggressive stance against credit card fraud so this may cause problems to legitimate card users.


Some background info: Filter Forge, Inc. is a privately held US company, with owners and staff residing in Russia, so no "outsourcing" stuff here (well, unless you consider our US representatives as "outsourcers" smile:D).
Share-It/element 5 AG/Digital River (no subcontracts or other stuff here -- they merely process payments for us) on the other hand is a German company.

Cool, thanks for that info!
I hope you didn't take my mention of a subsidiary in a negative light, it wasn't intended that way.
