BLUESTONE STORE OPEN but Visa NO LONGER Accepted!

[Bluestone]

I've just tried, but the transaction was declined...

Not sure why. I will check with the processor. Anyone else having problems with the Visa payment process?

Mine worked OK!

[hvhzsnt]

OK for me too

[saxovtr]

Done mine too.


Just got to wait now for the email saying I've been funded I guess?


Waiting I want White Angel 2 now!

Okay, I get a list of Visa payments every 12 hours. Then, I set up the credits and email a voucher number to you. Then, you can buy White Angel 2, and any of the other new or old videos on the store site!

I know you just re-opened, but in the future is there going to be a way to just buy the video without having to do this gift credit stuff ?

Love the vids by the way

The VISA route sounds great !! I'll add some funds this weekend.

Yes indeed! I had re-open with a method that couldn't be simply pulled by third parties without notice, such as what happened with Hughes and then with PayPal. So, this is our safe and secure method, if all else fails.

The next step will be to return to the system that I had before which will allow purchases and payments directly through the store site. I'm aiming to have two methods, one using major credit cards and the other a PayPal type payment system, but not one that will be pulled by some censoring site like PayPal. They will never get my business again!

This will take some more time, perhaps 30-60 days, but I will email my Preferred Customers when any other payments are rolled out, then post the announcement here too!

It's a process, but the Bluestone world is once more unfolding as it should.

Just added some more funds in anticipation of White Angel 3!!


One question though..... does purchase give you the option to apply more than one voucher code?

I think I have about $5 left on my first voucher, but I don't think anything costs that little in the store, so can I apply that as part of a bigger purchase?

Good question! The answer is 'no' and 'yes', because I am sometimes simply obtuse.

You can't combine those two vouchers, but I will be pleased to do so for you. If I know that you've got an older voucher/gift certificate, I will cancel the old one and add the balance to the new one. If I don't realize at the time of issuance of the new certificate, just email me a reminder, and I'll combine the two certificates. I have the ability to do that with my customized store software.

Now, in answer to another question asked of many customers, "What's up with having to login to purchase once I'm already logged in, and why am I sometimes put into a login loop at the store?" Well, the short term solution was to simply buy as a guest, since login isn't required to purchase at the new store, but in anticipation of being able to accept cards directly through the store, I am having some software upgrades done to solve this login issue. I'm hoping to have this work finished this weekend, so that customers can login and don't have to re-login to buy.

It's a work-in-progress, folks. Whenever I get shot down, with your support, I will come back stronger and better. February 2012 was my best month ever. I thank you... and my line of credit thanks you.

Sad to say, but my Visa option was suspended today. I'm still working on other solutions, but for now your options are:

1. Send me a money order (details posted at the Private Members Club);

2. Purchase what is posted at my Nicheclips store (which is not everything, but is most of my releases).

Keep an eye on any further postings on this thread.

I am determined to keep the store open and continue to release content... lots of content! So, lick those stamps and get a credit set up at the "Silk 'N Blood" store. Then, you won't be disappointed when the credit card companies do their Big Brother censoring gig!

That's disappointing Blue.

Hope you didn't lose out on any dollar.

Really glad I got my WA3 purchase in early now!

[squatso]

I have to admit, when I finally got past my obsessed need to log-in and listened to Blue's advice to buy as a guest, I was able to purchase and download several outstanding videos. I hope to be able to continue to buy from Blue (by far the best products on the market) no matter what method he uses to charge for the videos.

[Bluestone]

Thanks for your concern and support, guys!

No, I didn't lose any money this time.

I also fixed the store's login loop, so that it will only ask you to login once (or you can still buy as a guest). So, the store itself is working well, and I have a company on retainer to continue to customize it as required, as I continue to work on billing options.

It is very time-consuming to send out ebiller applications. I'm well into the double digits right now. I haven't given up on setting the store up to accept credit cards directly, but I am also working on another solution that will allow funding indirectly through credit cards. That solution may still be a couple of months off, but it is coming.

In the meantime, the best way to purchase all of my stuff, and get a 10% discount to boot, is to send me money orders.

I will continue to release material. No more 5 month shutdown like before. The content will be there. It'll just be up to you to send funds, and up to me to work on a better long term solution. Together, we'll get there!

Screwed...all because I entered a wrong email address and the transaction was delayed; Emailed their support and all they wanted to come back with was "read this" and a link to this post.

Seriously, would be nice if something could be done about this nonsense; You can buy a gun with a credit card but not videoclips. Talk about coherence.
