I've been using www.StormPay.com for over 2 years without any problems. Fees are a little high but I just build the fees into my prices like you'd do with any expense. StormPay seems to accept more of the higher risk stuff so I suppose their fees are probably based on that.

I sell digital products/downloads and StormPay is great because they are available to more countries than PayPal. Support is better too. If I contact them I usually get a reply same day.

I have been with stormpay for yrs, and have used them to purchase on their auctions as well as to purchase product on sites as well to sell products. I have the monies transferred on to a stormpay debit card, which takes usually less than 24 hrs to complete the transaction. Stormpay is NETIBA certified, which I like, and they are very responsive.

They have over 2 million members I think, and if you are after a referral payment program, they reward you well for promoting them. Personally I would not promote anything I do not use on a regular basis.

I know this is long, but stormpay is safe and reliable and is giving paypal a run for their money, and all competition is good for the consumer.


tip for those abroad, add a zero infront of the phone number (you may have too few digits). Unlike PP you can get a stormpay account in minutes.

hope this helps

please ignore my referral link if it offends you

Can any one explain why StormPay hasn't responded in the last 3 days and why their site is down? Did this company up and move and decide not tell anyone? Has anyone heard any positive feedback coming from StormPay? Is StormPay and NetIBA in bed together?

Hello
Stormpay's site is not down. They are responding to emails, they responded to one of mine in about 30 mins yesterday.
You may have some difficulty logging in as their traffic is way up.

There does seem to be an issue with stormpay and 12dp, but until we have heard both sides of the story it would be prudent not to bash a very reliable processor who is looking out for the general public and taking a stand against fraud.

Just my 2 cents worth. Netiba and stormpay are not one and the same company.

Hello Dani,

Actually Stormpay and NetIBA are one in the same. They share the same address, same city. Also it's not just 12DP it's all the other companies out there as well that are stranded because Stormpay has all of a sudden changed their mind from when they put their foot down on Monday and required companies to have no other payment processors, which stranded every one. I have e-mailed Stormpay 2 times and they have yet to respond to any of them one of which is 6 days old. I of course called them and left a message on their answering machine and I wonder if they will even bother calling me back, there is a lot of concern at least 12DP is giving feedback Stormpay doesn't have the common courtesy to update their system and give us their side. I appreciate your quick response now I can only hope Stormpay at least responds so it will give us all a peace of mind that everyone is in desperate need of.

hello

I know that netiba and stormpay are both in Clarksville, but they have different addresses and different owners.

As I have had nothing but great experiences with stormpay, I am not going to push them into the fire until I hear their side of all of this.

Maybe it was not their own choice that they had to suspend processing the 12dp's and similar programs out there?

After all 12dp is now making news headlines:

ABC4 News clip

and if ABC news knows about 12dp, who else does?

Charis may have made her intentions known about the future of 12dp when she started to write about her new program launching soon.........If 12dp is so wonderful, why would she need a new program?

Who knows, but when you look at the numbers, they really do not add up.

Personally I am remaining calm, and I think only good will come from all this shake up.

Being in Clarksville isn't the only similarity Stormpay and NetIba share. This is from the BBB.Company Management

Additional company management personnel include:

Mr. John R. McConnell, Jr. - Registered Agent

John R. McConnell, Jr. is also listed in BBB files as the registered agent of NetIba, Inc. BBB maintains a seperate file on NetIba, Inc. which is available, free, upon request.

As far as Stormpay being credible I suggest you avoid their BBB report if you to depend on information from anonymous message board sources. :cool:

Actually StormPay and NetIBA are owned by the same person. For proof of this please follow my link: http://www.getpaidforum.com/forums/the_facts_about_the_owners_of_stormpay_and_netiba-t425781.html . If you read some of the other posts in the forum you will see that StormPay's future isn't looking too bright.

StormPay turned scam a couple days ago, all of their checks are bouncing and their accounts have been frozen. They stole $200 from my bank account and have ripped of countless others in the past week.

February 5th and the site is still down. I have been a member since September and it has been one big pain in the neck. It is a scam operation when you have to wait 5 business days to get your money because you are not verified. And in order to be verified, you have to pay NETba a yearly fee. NETba accepts both PayPal and StormPay as verified online payment accounts. So, one would figure that if one is verified at PayPal, the same would be true at StormPay. Right? WRONG! The only reason why I went to StormPay is because PayPal would accept certain accounts. Now I am beginning to understand why. Storm Pay is a scam.

Correction to the last part;
Make that
"The only reason why I went to StormPay is because PayPal wouldnot accept certain accounts. Now I am beginning to understand why. Storm Pay is a scam!"

Evidently, Storm Pay did a little relocating with their address. Try http://www.stormpay.com/stormpay/user/user_auctions.php and you should be able to get the page

I put 125 dollars in StormPay at about the same time as this fight between StormPay and 12Daily Pro occured (which I did not know of then). What is annoying is that the only reason for me to put the money in was to invest it in 12 Daily Pro.

What should I do now? Wait until things calm down or withdraw the money from Stormpay?

Do a chargeback with your credit card company. By the looks of things, they won't let anyone withdrawl any money and the checks they are sending are bouncing.

Stormpays site has been down almost 24 hours now. This isn't a ddos attack. When you ping the site, there is no return. Stormpay is not connected to the internet at all right now. Regardless of how all this turns out, it was handled very badly by Stormpay.

My guess is that someone hopefully is keeping track of the owner of stormpay. I suspect that money may be offshore by now. Maybe we should ask ibizniz...where the money iz

According to the latest search, StormPay went back to this link: http://www.stormpay.com/
Maybe we should put a "tracer" everytime they move.
