    It's an ebid payment option, I use ebid all the time :) Although TBH, nobody has ever paid me with pppay, but I do have an account setup.

    Just an update to say that if you were holding on to be able to pay via Paypal well... you'll be waiting a bery long time! It doesn't look like I'll be getting my account back! In fact, I'll have to work my butt off to withdraw the money from the sales I made using it...

    Bitcoins will be the preferred method of payment from now on but I'm open to other ways. Just keep in mind that I am in Canada and stuff like Google Wallet and such are not readily available to me. Contact me with your proposal.

    Seriously, Bitcoins are not that offputting! Look it up for yourself!

    I've checked Alipay and I don't think it'll work here.

    From what I read, Global(internationnal) Alipay is a payment processor for webstores. They do not offer peer-to-peer service .

    Chinese specific Alipay service is somewhat of a mistery. I read some place they do offer peer-to-peer service but it's required to have a bank account from certain banks in China or at least a credit card issued by one of these banks. Even with that, the whole website is in Chinese. Definitely not the best solution.

    Seriously, I don't understand why people are so reluctant to Bitcoins. You buy the proper amount ($48.50USD worth which is around 0.15BTC right now), transfer them to my Bitcoin wallet and voilà! I ship you the unit and it's done.

    Of course I'm open to other methods of payments such as Internationnal money order and other online payment processors. Just PM me with your suggestion.

    Just a heads up, I'm really not enclined to accepting gift cards that are not for Canada-based stores. (And no, Amazon.com gift cards do not work on Amazon.ca)

    For US buyers, you can pickup an International Money Order at the Post Office.
    @bennydiamond, have you thought about having a US reseller?

    Money order is an option, if you don't mind the extra wait and extra fees. My bank charges $2.50CAD to cash in a US money order and a stupidly high $12CAD for any other foreign currency... I was recently thinking about changing financial institution for my personnal account. I'll be sure to factor this in my choice!

    At the moment, I'm not looking for resellers. I want to sell the small batch I assembled and use that money on a bigger batch using a PCB assembly service. Then I'll be looking for a distributor. Plus I feel like a the US isn't that safe of a place to sell a distribute such device, even if they are totally legal in their distributed state.

    Just wondering, could we set up through a 3rd party? Ie: people pay someone who has paypal, skrill & bitcoin etc. accounts. Then the 3rd party pay Benny with his preferred payment option, and the chips are shipped out to the buyers home addresses when payment has cleared?
    This would of course rely on trust between the buyers, the 3rd party and Benny :)
    There maybe fees involved if using this idea :(
    Any thoughts guys?

    Paypal is not coming back ever, sorry. It'll have to be something else.

    I don't want to put anyone in trouble with Paypal. They are not backing on their claim that the product is against their Acceptable Use Policy.

    I thought about "borrowing" the infrastructure of classic gaming oriented webshops. I don't need to explain that it will certainly increase the price as they will ask for a percentage of the profits.

    Right now, Bitcoins and internationnal money orders are unconditionnally accepted modes of payments. PM if you want to propose something else.

    If you want to go by Bitcoins, you can check https://localbitcoins.com/ or https://www.coinbase.com/ to create a wallet/buy bitcoins online.

    Technically speaking, they're right, as you're not supposed to reverse engineer or alter the software contained within the console.

    Of course, you could argue it's for a dead system - but that doesn't change the fact that, technically, it violates Microsoft's IP.

    Back in the old days (introduced 12 years ago), they had this specific policy:

    Ultimately, if you want to sell modchips on a website, get proper credit card processing facilities. Or accept Amazon Payments, Apple Pay or something similar. If their TOS doesn't block modchips. You'll have to accept that you're selling a device that is infringing on IP, even if it is unlikely that anyone will ever chase you for that with a dead console. However, that someone isn't limited to the IP owner - payment processors, web hosts, ISPs etc. could decide you're in violation of their TOS - as PayPal unfortunately has done.

    By the way, you need the date in your validation photo along with your user name and the forum name, as per the rules. Just adding another pic with the correct validation would be fine. Thanks!

    Might sound stupid but do you really have to tell on PayPal that its about a Modchip? Why don't you call it a development board? :p

    Happy to see some left. I fell off the wagon a while just after requesting one. I shall send BTC when I get around to it! Thanks bennydiamond, for holding me as an unconfirmed payment. :)

    Updated first post with accepted forms or payment.

    Bitcoins is still the preferred method.

    MoneyGram and Western Union are interesting for people outside of Canada.
    For Canadian fellows, I do recomment E-Interac transfers.
