badback83 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 So, I’m trying to purchase a book on mycomicshop.com. I get to the end of the checkout where I enter payment information and it says I can only use a credit card if the amount is under $500. The book is several thousand. This is a little frustrating to me. I don’t have any checks to send a payment by mail and I’m not really into the idea of a money order or something of that nature. Would any higher-up at MCS that are on the boards be able to assist me? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badback83 Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 It’s odd to me that I can’t use a card for a book that’s under 5k. Is that usual for big vendors? I’ve bought a couple books worth a few thousand each over the years with other big online dealers and have been able to use a CC just fine.

ADAMANTIUM Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I'm not sure... Highest I've paid was $1,775, and that was with a card linked to paypal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCS is not weird so that is also weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mycomicshop Posted July 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2019 Am following up with OP via PM. For everybody else reading along, we have temporary lower charge limits for newer customer accounts than for accounts with a longer established order history. Limits also vary if you're in the US or in another country, etc. NP_Gresham, Buzzetta, F For Fake and 8 others 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotpong Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Heritage is up to 2500 if I remember correctly, for purchases above that I've used ACH. I know Hakes I won just under 1000$ before and they took credit card. With MyComicShop I won just under 500 and the checkout allowed me to use credit card, I paid and they never notified me that they didn't take my credit card payment, I found out after a week of the transaction not going from pending on my card to captured and turned out that the transaction was supposedly too large for a first time customer and they never notified me. That pretty much soured me from ever using MyComicShop personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pretty much soured me from ever using MyComicShop personally. My guess would be that we did actually email you about requesting a different form of payment due to the size of the order, but that it wound up in a spam or promotional email folder where you never saw it. Regardless, I agree that's not an ideal way to handle your order. I'd prefer our limits to be higher so they are less likely to restrict new customers, and any payment requirements should be made clear while you're going through the checkout process. I'm working on improving all that. Crops068 and theCapraAegagrus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe so, they posted it in a thread that you supply documents to ebay, I believe you should call them.... The answer is YES, but I can't quote the details but... it was posted on the boards to a link to ebay with the details.... I just can't remember the thread or how to search it on ebay but it was the last time that (I believe you) it was asked, if you remember that thread been a minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I've gotta be honest... MyComicShop continues to impress. Seriously. My LCS is closing it's doors this December / January unbeknownst to the customers. I am seeking a new avenue to purchase my one modern comic book a month and MCS might be the store for me. Hm... I should start a thread asking for advice on this matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Thanks. I will call them. I have gotton sales tax removed by CA dealers by supplying it when I am invoiced. They don’t like it, but that is why I have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest looking for the exact same copy on their website, and save a few bucks. All[?] their listings on eBay are higher than their MCS prices due to eBay's fees.
