      So, I am/was planning to get the Netgate 1100 for my Element next month and was checking out Netgate's checkout to see whether they take PayPal...bummer, don't take PayPal. It's not about security...I know Netgate have the best...I wanted to use my PayPal credit. I missed one used on eBay for $115 because at that price, I might as well buy a new one directly from Netgate. Now, what's my option?

        As a company that sells devices or services on the Internet, paypal is just a choice.
        Like accepting a credit card.
        Be ware that the selling party looses a percentage, and it isn't just "1 %".
        Furthermore, when a product is sold, the buyer can go to paypal.com and 'contest' Example : because he wanted a router that could handle 1000+ LAN devices, and he discovered that the "1100" can't handle it. Accepting paypal means you have to hire some one to handle paypal transactions.
        Money you receive, as a seller, from a paypal transaction, doesn't go to your bank account,, it goes to your paypal account. You want the money on your bank ? Ok, you have to pay for that as well.
        Etc.

        Be aware : I love paypal, as a consumer. I never used them as a seller, and I'm telling this 'as heard' (and reading their usage conditions).

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          @Gertjan I figured that Netgate deserves all they can get for their killa device and OS...I was just disappointed and ranted. I still have options though...

          BTW, PayPal had been misbehaving and giving out customers phone number...mine included.

            But anyway as a BIG company (#1 in SOHO firewalls solutions, honorable, etc, etc see the ADs), Netgate MUST ACCEPT THE MOST USABLE PAYMENT METHODS that work with fiats money like PayPal, Moneybookers, etc…
            BUT NOT THE CRYPTO

            Be aware : I love paypal, as a consumer. I never used them as a seller, and I'm telling this 'as heard' (and reading their usage conditions).

            As a BIG HiTech company - this PayPal fees (and all for its support and processing) must be YOUR EXPENDITURES. No doubts.

            P.S.
            From my business experience, 2 full-time stuff’s persons with ZenDesk able to processing with a stable quality about 200-300 transactions: this mean all aspects from just monitoring to resolving issues by mailing, phone calling, money return, etc…
            I hope, Netgate company have sufficient funds on 2 full-time persons, even hiring them from rich places like NYDC, California, or Switzerland:)
