Hi,

I recommended the service to a friend. We live in Bulgaria, and some time ago I payed using my VISA card without a problem.

Now the only option is PAY USING GOOGLE checkout. Problem is, Bulgaria is NOT LISTED in the Google list! So, how we make a payment now?... :-(((((

Any ideas?

Why it was possible before to pay via Credit Card from my country and now - not?...

lelion,

That's a good question, though I think that the only ones who can answer it are DH employees. I suggest you send that same message to tech support, and get an authoritative answer.

you can pay by credit card and sending a fax :

It has been discussed before but there is no solution. We have no idea why DH removed paypal option. What we can guess is that they are very careful with credit card fraud.

I agree with rlparker. Send a ticket to DH and explain your situation. I think they will be glad to assist you

I will not suggest to fax UNLESS DH askes you to do so.

The credit card payment option is also removed from DH website for some reasons.

I'll suggest you to send a ticket to DH first and follow DH's suggestions to manage your payment.

Sending a fax is not appropriate in this case. You can send a money order in US Dollars which is also an option from the payment page. Hope that helps!

[lelion]

Nope, nothing helps

I wrote to Dreamhost, they replied... Nothing can be done.

Btw, someone mentioned PayPal? It doesn't matter, PayPal DOES NOT have Bulgaria listed as well

So, actually, I cannot recommend to anyone Dreamhost, because people can't pay with their credit cards A whole country is like "blacklisted" with no reason at all.

Paying via check/money order is more expensive and so it's not an option

Anyway.

Thx for your answers...

I don't understand how paying my check or money order is *that* much more expensive. You should be paying the same amount, plus postage and maybe a small fee for the check or money order.

It's *not* that more *expensive*, but it *is* different in a couple of significant ways:

1) You have to be able to either have cold, hard cash to buy the money order, or actually have real money in the bank for the check, as they won't "turn your account on" until a check clears.

2) It doesn't have much potential for fraud, and the difficulties of trying to collect from someone in a foreign country (that could quickly and easily end up costing more to accomplish than the amount of money involved).

All this makes it kinda difficult to "sign-up" and have an account "active" for a period of time until it becomes obvious that they can't collect and shut you down...which is just long enough for a phisher, spammer, etc. to "hit and run". Granted it makes it hard on those who would never do such a thing, but I understand DH's concern in such a situation.

I understand DH concerns, but on the other hand, I don't see why I shoud be "banned" from the option to pay via my legitemate VISA card, because I live in Bulgaria.

Bulgaria is in Europe, it is member of the European Union, we have credit cards here as anyone else in the world has, and we use them safely, both in our country and for payments outside of it. This is not North Korea or something like that, you see

So I was able to sign up for DH account something like a couple of months ago, with my VISA, no problems.

Now I recommended it to friend, but he's unwilling so much to pay via money order...

Oh well, it doesn't matter...

Just pity... Can't change that...

PS Someone know, just in case, if someone pays via check/money order, and if you referred him, do you still get 10%?... ;-)
