Agree here - That has always been one of the thorns in accepting PayPal on any decent scale. At least with chargebacks, you can fight them and win about 50% of the time with the right docs. PayPal barely entertains dialogue.
What happened is that I wanted to register a domain using www.mediaon.com, but that failed because someone else registered the same domain in the meantime using another company. When I asked for my money back because they failed to register the domain, they refused, saying that firstly it wasn't there fault (which is technically true) and secondly that I would be free to use the paid money to register another domain. That's in direct contradiction to their "money-back guarantee". Anyway, Paypal sided with them. It seemed to me that they exactly knew what to tell PayPal and PayPal does not seem to be very consumer-friendly when it comes to digital products (the policy for physical products differs).
Agreed. It's the technical knowledge and the institutional web that, until something causes it to weaken, only gets stronger and stronger each year. I lived in NYC and they said these same things for about three years... And now they've stopped saying it for some reason.
Don't know how you'd quantify this, but I imagine people have a subliminal response to the smile whether they know they see it or not. Like pleasant chord construction in music. I've also heard it's the reason watches in magazines are always set to a time around 10:10 or 2:50 to make it seem like a smiling face.
Where can you find affiliate arbitragers like this? Totally get that he/she should be doing this, but how do you find the people doing this effectively? I'm all for paying when someone has figured this out, because the installs I get often make me want to give up trying. Thanks!
The installs you get from mobile affiliate are usually shit in terms of performance fwiw. The install flows are things like ads that say [get the app now] then link directly to a random app in the app store, so there is very little intent.
Mattermark and their rankings are going to be looked back on as just as useless as a professional blogger. There are hints of positives for you to take away (and make wide sweeping bets across companies with - if you're an investor), but the outliers end up being outliers in a number of ways. Pretty much all the ways that make prognostication like this precisely pointless.
Mattermark founder here, and to be clear we are not "prognosticating" - the Mattermark Score has not been proven to be predictive in any way. It is descriptive, describing which companies are getting more and more people to care about their existence on an ongoing basis. If anything, this might be similar to "traction" and might help companies raise... but as we all know many startups who appear to have traction still fail. What we hope to do is make investors aware of companies who are gaining traction that they might overlook, and in the long run we hope we can encourage them to look beyond the echo chamber of tech and focus on the echo chamber of a startup's actual customers. We'll see how it goes...
Who has ever gotten that? Zach Braff and Veronica Mars brought their own audiences.. Similar stories for friends that have done KS. Something like Coin however was able to implement a pretty viral referral system that could get your card for free when you get others to buy by hosting it themselves and customizing that part of the flow. That's something I don't think you could do on KS and actually has a viral loop.
I didn't list the payout time because it varies by bank. It is instant (24/7) when we're able to go through an ATM network like STAR or PULSE. We'll learn a lot more during the development.
