I think The Keyword Academy is a wonderful program and extremely beneficial for anyone aiming to make money online. I love the program but can only use it for the 30 day free trial. This is because here in India we can't use paypal to pay for any service or product. This would mean I cannot extend my membership. This is so sad as I really loved the program. Wish they had a few other ways to pay for it.
I have send them an email 2 days back but got no reply. May be they have no answer to my problem.
I had no idea that you couldn't pay for services or products with paypal in India! What about any of the other online payment methods? In another thread people were talking about a lot of other options, but I'm not familiar with any of them.
Is there any way to make a direct payment using a credit card? Or... As slow as it might be, what about a personal check sent through the mail?
BTW - if you can't use paypal to pay for services or products, what do you actually use paypal for?
They only allow you to pay through paypal. I am also willing to pay through credit card but they don't have an option.
In India we can only use paypal to receive money and then have to transfer it to our bank accounts within 7 days. These are recent changes though. It was not like this before March 1st this year.
Goodness, that is rough!
I take it that means you also cannot send money to an individual person through paypal?
I haven't used Keyword Academy, so I don't really know what to suggest!
I am accustomed to having numerous payment options online, so it is definitely a stumper for me to be limited to paypal. I hope the KA people will get back with you and see if they can find another channel to open to you.
I too hope the Keyword Academy people get back to me and get this resolved.
No we can't send money to anyone using paypal only receive it. I too feel these changes made by the Reserve Bank of India are ridiculous and meaningless.
Hello
I have had the same problem and have spoken to Mark butler about it. He said that at the moment they are not going to add any other payment option but they may look into it in the future.
Sorry.
