NameJet Fees

[Dominic Belley]

I just received an email from Namejet today including this piece of information :

They start with a good news :

Beginning December 14th NameJet will offer the ability to Add Funds to your account via PayPal and Alipay!

Then they hit with a hammer :

Beginning December 14th NameJet will charge a 2.5% Online Administration Fee for all payments made to NameJet via any online method, such as credit card (regardless of what credit card is used), PayPal or Alipay.

Please note that paying for domains via wire transfer will NOT incur this fee.

Very bad news for people buying on Namejet.

How many times you think NameJet have had people win an auction that they are unable to pay? Their solution is to weed out those bad apples by forcing everyone to have a backup CC on file, thus protecting all buyers.

I dislike having my CC on file, but I see why they have done it.

I'm sorry @Dominic Belley but you have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about

@LucidDomains Then Dropcatch.com or Pheenix is full of bad apples then?

Anyway,
judging from your answers, I'm starting to see why NJ works that way.
No need to continue this conversation on honestly, I sincerely thought 'common sense' was 'common' for all.

No idea of the level of fraudulent activity without looking at their internal stats.

Ouch, a disagreement leads to insults? That actually says more about you than it does about us.

Very insulting to reply this way for folks answering YOUR questions. Especially since they are only explaining how NJ works, nothing that they can directly change. Shooting the messenger is really bad form

A comment probably made out of frustration. It's cool. Everyone gets annoyed at something at some point.
