Hello
I have payed for a 6 months subscription with PayPal via PayByCash .

How long does it take to validate my subscription .

P.S.
Isnt it easier to use PayPal directly , they deliver the cash imediatly and dont charge for the service . PayByCash get 4 USD for the transaction .

I think you should send a mail to billing@guildsoftware.com
The forum is really not a good place for this :)

Demonen is correct. Please email the address he provided.

This is from the billing FAQ:

"PayByCash is a separate company who specializes in more 'unusual' financial transaction types. For instance, they accept personal checks via fax, cash payments, bank transfers and many more. This means they must maintain a support staff to handle these diverse individual payments, and also requires them to be liable for more types of potential fraud. Because of this they charge us an addition 'service charge' fee for each transaction, this fee is then passed on to the consumer. On the upside, there's a lot more transaction types available than we would be able to offer on our own, and the added fee is relatively fixed and small, so it becomes negligable for larger blocks of time. As a side note, PayByCash can take longer to approve a transaction than normal payment systems, so be sure to budget several extra days when sending your next payment, or there may be some delay while your account is unpaid."

Bottom line: PBC undertakes the risk for fraud and supports many different types of payment.

PayByCash are actually cool once you have made more than one transaction through them, but like whistler states sometimes it can take a while for them to accept a first payment. I have used them a few times to pay via paypal, and although my first few payments took a few days to process, recent ones have gone through in moments.

Cool! I didn't know that.

i also have just payed through paybycash, and it has taken 2 weeks to clear, (this being my first time paying in this method ) but i figure it is so the payment is from the start of the month which this seems to have landed on.
