ok, so I made a lot of research and there are in fact some disadvantages of paypal.

it is NOT free like I though, there are some small fees. They were just too small to notice.

nevertheless paypal IS "modern technology".

30% of all internet buys are made with credit cards while Paypal is already at 20% with 210 million paypal accounts!

These are german statistics from 2007 but I doubt they differ much internationally.

That makes me part of one of the largest groups of customers, please don't say I want "special treatment".

I just don't have a credit card and I will not pay for one as they seem quite expensive.

But I found out some banks already offer "free" credit cards, I'll keep an eye on that.

I also found out paypal has some issues with porn.... that's why eurowam "gave up the fight" and now only offer alertpay and ccbill, both of which are not well trusted but seem to accept porn producers...

Sadly wetlook is somewhere between clean fun and porn, so I guess if PayPal sees tits (and eurowam produces shows more than ever) on your site they might delete wam producers' accounts...

I just hope this whole thing will get more comfortable and easier for us customers.

Like paying on amazon and ebay. there you already buy and pay with ONE CLICK.

peace out

Marco

@Marco - boy do you want special treatment

A credit card costs a few Euro annually, a debit card to an account (like Visa Electron) is in most banks in Europe absolutely free. Really man, you have quite some nerve to right stuff like this, if you need the photo sets so much just GET A CARD. I really don't understand such attitudes. You take a stand against modern technology that is universal in the EU for some strange reason and you expect other people to help you do this because...? And you lay on the poor webmaster a lot of propaganda, but not in one sentence do you explain why the stand against cards is so important for you that you expect others to give you special care! And this in a day and age where credit cards outnumber people in many EU countries and payment by them is accepted even in the smallest village stores in new EU countries like Poland, Latvia or Romania! Weird... I can understand such please coming from regions where cards are less popular (instead checks are or something), but in the EU? come on!

@juergen koch: when will wetlook-art / wet-fashion-fun be open to everyone?

hello there.

first of all:

juergen, i'm a huge fan of your picures.

casual, candid-like, and many sneakers and casual shoes....not to mention: beautiful girls.

I guess for five long years now I would love to join wetlook-art and you still only accept credit cards....

BUT I CANT WAIT ANY LONGER!!! PLEASE!!

I NEED YOUR PICTURE SETS!!!

I'D PAY EVEN MORE THAN 8 EUROS!!

What about an instant shop solution? like putting all your sets into one large online shop like leonmoomin's.

(he must be making a lot of money, aren't you jealous? don't you think he does something right?)

what about paypal? It's like a web standard nowadays and you would make a lot of money I guess.

Would you at least accept paypal by e-mail please (like erik elsas)?

that would be no good solution, i know, and i guess only every 10th potential paypal-customer would write you, but at least then there yould be a way for all your "underground friends without credit cards".

or could it be that after all these years you are stuck in your believe in a monthly payment system where customers pay everything and always? if I finally make it and find a way (to pay you and get your picture sets) I would do it like many others: only pay one month, download them all and then unsubscribe.

Wouldn't it be better if people came back again and again to buy only the sets they like and pay like 3 to 5 euros per set? would be even more money for you and hell yeah i would pay it.

don't let your fans down

I've been talking to some other wetlook friends and none of them has a credit card.

so, are there any plans for the future to let us pay you for your excellent sets?

thank you,

Marco T.
