Why filehost still use paypal

[torrfriend]

hi guys,
why filehosts still use paypal or using high fees gateway.....??

because Webmoney/Libertyreserve Bitcoin(don't know much about Bitcoin) and other are there with very less fees + Privacy is assured..

is it due to the lack of filehosts thinking or they afraid about using new payment processor(other than paypal/payza and all)

why they're not promoting ecurrency.....??

Webmoney, Libertyreserve = All digital money came up with no guarantees, Not Hack Safe, No direct withdraw money and more impotent the server hosting companies only accept Paypal or Payza!

and WM sucks because of russian menus (translation sucks and half of menus are still in russian), they need a good translated design
and members know good english. And their help section sucks and lots of members like me do not know which WM we have to choose
to get or send money to uploading hosts. Paypal's procedures are easier to understand and support is great in all countries they
worked for.

LOL, most importantly, it's all about sales.

most people in the world have paypal, not shitty kid-exclusively webmoney. that can't generate sales.

not that this or any of the above simply coz users the ones how buy sales but with credit card the need a payment way that accepts credit card the more direct the better so paypal and avantgate i-krona all ask u for credit card and they buy where a simple user from any country can buy WM,LR or BitCoins with credit card ?? and if u asked a user to go open account on WM,LR or BitCoins then search for a way to fund that account then come and buy you are doomed no body will go into that much trouble doing all that hope u get it now ask any PPS uploader he will tell you users need direct CC payment to but coz it's world wide direct and easy nothing else will work nothing

LR is deploying credit card funding now.

[Cypherz]

where did u get that ?? where can i find CC fund in LR

It's simple if you have paypal = more premium sales

They use paypal because its so easy, they forced to use the high fees gateway because they where so horny for the money it never occurred to them they would get screwed (and not in the good way) by paypal.
webmoney is no option since its completely difficult to use for none Russians (like googlebuster mentioned), payza(alertpay) and Libertyreserve are for scammers even though payza tried to go legit, their support is no where to be seen, and they even started to request extreme high fees to filehosts, bitcoins is for criminals (lots of shops on tor where you can buy guns and drugs with bitcoins).
Basically they where so sure of their money making they never searched for a good alternative.
