Comment on 2checkout incurring foreign fees for US customers by matt gorse

Ah yes but that is the joke isn’t it. Your referring to ‘international sellers’ when the customer might be local to the US. So being based in another country and operating a US based website is totally misleading. The US customer gets foreign charges even though they are not foreign.

What is worse is the fact you never let your clients know about these changes. International seller weren’t always processed internationally. You switched your back end processor offshore. Did you tell anyone? NO.

Let me explain, although you being the processor should realize this, is the fact that you have a subscription based system. You go from processing from US to Cyprus, then to Hong Kong. What do you think happens to these regular subscriptions? Oh yes they start flagging bank fraud checks. That equals lots of charge backs as it looks very suspect processing in different countries. And of course it would….stinks of shady business practices.

It took a lot of digging around to find the above facts. You should be upfront with your business practices and take ownership for your companies mistakes.

The above caused a lot of international sellers to have their accounts closed by yourselves for your underhand business practices.

I ran into the same issue with some wordpress sites.
don’t have any fresh access logs but all files modified were dated to January 22.
But the hack was July 27 if i compare to the backups.

In reply to Francesco Biacca. I have not been able to get ahold of an access log of a hacked site yet. They are also modifying the timestamp of the contaminated files, though the real timestamp is really easy to find out. The site I only cleaned up was hacked again this morning just after 4am. Their provider only lets them see their access_log with a 24 hour delay by default. I have asked them to request today's log file asap so we can investigate further, but they're still waiting for a reply.

This is really important and thus I am posting it as the first comment: Simply cleaning up a website from a hack will never protect it from follow-up hacks. You'll need to have a forensic analysis done on the site and have someone run a security audit on the site and server. Further on, your site should be monitored continuously by a real human. For all of these tasks I am available for assistance. Contact me for further details and assistance.

hello Matt – neither sellers nor buyers are charged a foreign transaction fee by 2Checkout. This fee is assessed by the card-issuing banks and is usually about 3% of the order total. This, however, doesn’t happen with all banks and each customer should be aware of any additional fee they might be assessed by their banks when making cross-border transactions. If you are a US buyer purchasing from a US seller, there are no foreign transaction fees. Additionally, if you are located in the US, then your orders will be processed domestically. International sellers get their orders processed internationally, because they are international. In which case a FX fee may be assessed by their banks.

2Checkout are extremely underhand and keep all their clients in the dark about all their shady business practices.

Most processing is now done out of Hong Kong. They never per-warned any of their clients about this move. Just ask yourself why they would do this…

If you think the foreign charge is bad, just watch your charge backs go through the roof. What you might now find is that your customers bank will start treating these offshore transactions as fraud. Even had your bank call you to check a transaction? Yep,that will be your charge they are referring to. What happens if your customer doesn’t recognize the charge? Bingo, charge back.

It looks as if they are in the process of transferring some accounts offshore – if you’re an unlucky one then good luck keeping your account. Perhaps this might be something to do with their processing partner pulling MasterCard processing. Again, ask yourself why this would happen.

If you’re not running to another processor right now then i would get your head examined.

For clarification: this will not happen with a seller in the US because we are processing all Seller transactions that are based in the US through our Bank of America partnership. You are likely referring to a currency fee because as of today, there is no foreign transaction fee.

Hello! Thank you for the clarification. If the seller is in the US then this should not be happening. Do you know who the seller is? You can email me with the website or any contact info that would help!
