Nootropics Depot no longer taking credit cards?

Yep, round number two for us. Been dealing with it for the past year on Ceretropic. Now it's Nootropics Depot's turn. We've been preparing for it to happen for a while. Hoped we had a little longer, but c'est la vie. T

We didn't. It's back up. Piracetam is what started the issues. We removed it at our processors request. Then they dropped us anyway without warning. So we put it back up.

Yeah, until the card processing industry unilaterally changed what they considered low risk. I can't even keep up with what they don't allow, because the won't tell me. Literally, they won't tell me what products they do

My team is approving checks throughout the day. So our normal same day shipping still applies. We just have to manually approve the checks before shipping. So while it's not instant, it doesn't add much delay to things.

It's going to get worse before it gets better; if it even does.

Echeck only works with US bank accounts. So it only shows up if you are in the US. Our international customers only have Bitcoin as an option for the time being. I'll get us on another solution soon, even if it is offsho

Since we went through this same thing with Ceretropic last year, I have been prepared for it to happen again with ND. So financially we are perfectly fine, and can weather this storm no problem. It's not like we are goin

Email [email protected], and my team can email you a Bitcoin invoice. Then you can just pay it that way. Coinbeyond's SSL cert expired as well. So that is causing issues with some browsers. When it rains it pou

Thanks! When this first happened to us with Ceretropic, it was really difficult, and very hard on both myself and my team. However, we have been dealing with it for over a year on that side. So this happening with Nootro

It's hard to say. It can go both ways, depending on how involved the FDA wants to get into supplements. I am preparing for both scenarios. I'd like to think public sentiment toward freedom, and allowing people to choose

Coinbase and Bitpay have been as well. Any US-based BTC company is getting hit hard by FinCEN. It's best to be safe, and tumble coins/use decentralized wallets.

Yeah, a write-up could be good. Everyone has their preference for wallets and levels of tumbling, though. To be really anonymous, you have to get pretty complex with TOR and tumbling between other cryptos like Dash or Li

The past year has certainly been stressful, that's for sure. I am a bit burnt out by it all.

Sort of. Amazon takes a bunch of the sale in fees and commissions. So essentially our profit it cut in half, and then they charge us EXTRA storage fees, on top of their normal storage fees, for products that are slow mov

Circle is the easiest at the moment.

No immediate plans. However, there will likely not be advanced notice for any dropping of products. Sometimes it's not really up to us.

We hit our processing limit again on our credit/debit card option. We've sent out a couple subscriber emails the past few months letting people know about it. Since we are on a new bank/processor, we have a monthly proce

My pleasure! Hopefully this will be the last time we hit our card limit, and it will be smooth sailing from this point on.

Haha, please don't buy thousands of Bitcoin. That's over a million dollars. .03 BTC would be about $30 USD at the moment. If you are in the US, and have a checking account, Echeck is really easy. Also, card payments wil
