Hi Bob,

LW seem to have restricted the credit cards that people can use to buy or renew LW Pro, so have a look at FrostWire. It's very similar to LW, is free & has many Pro features. Click on the blue link below.
FrostWire

Or, if you like, you could try another free Gnutella client, as mentioned in post #6 of this thread.

It seems to me if Limewire wants to make money they better get their moerators to let them know they are missing alot of sales by not taking MASTERCARD OR USING PAYPAL.

They need to join the online people with ways to pay for their product.

Paypal is a good safe way for all people to pay atleast Limewire could get that set up.

WAKE UP LIMEWIRE DO SOMETHING!

You know BC

Back in the dim and distant past (about 5 years ago), unless my mind is playing tricks on me, the LW Org. used to accept Paypal and Mastercard as methods of payment.

I'm guessing that, as Mastercard has become the dominant (world wide) credit card system, the LW Org. has run into some sort of problem based on the fee they are charged by Mastercard.

You see, credit card companies charge a fee to the companies that use their facilities, maybe the LW Org. now think the fee is too high.

But, I must admit, I agree with you and that the LW Org. should use Mastercard's payment facilities because they could be loosing more than they save.

I've found out Mastercard made themselves unavailable to LW to use for payments. It was not a case of LW dropping Mastercard as an option. Same issue happened with Paypal 1-3 years ago. These financial organisations decided they did not wish LW to use their services for payments.

Thanks for your information.

Thanks. So what do I do, my credit card is MasterCard

If you read the thread, then you would have seen this. But I will spell it out for you and the next several people asking the exact same question.

We have Zero, zip nada, 000 control over what kind out credit/debit cards Limewire LCC i.e. NOT Gnutellaforums.com allow!!!!

If I didn't think of Mastercard as a highly professional and lucrative business, I would think they had stooped to the levels of spamming forums for more business.

Thanks Birdy

Except it was Mastercard who decided they no longer wished to do business with LimeWire LLC. If it was LW who dropped M/Card then fair comment.

lol didn't notice your post. but you have to admit it's quite weird all of a sudden.
