I contacted BidPay a few months ago after an international buyer's payment
was rejected by BidPay. This buyer had successfully used BidPay a few
months before the rejection for another order. Basically, if the
transaction is reviewed or audited, it will be rejected by BidPay. Their
issue is their inability to verify the transaction since buyer/seller/order
details are not available publicly (which is a good thing, IMHO), they were
favorable of the feedback system however. The BidPay rep I corresponded
with recommended that the buyer refer to both the buyer and seller user IDs
and the same "we will try it". If the seller has a high feedback (track
record) there is a good chance the payment will go through. This needs to
be tested.
I have not had any more BidPay attempts since that last rejection. The
international buyer now sends cash ;-)
