I started a petition to get him unbanned,please sign https://www.change.org/p/1automationwiz-...count-back

That's a nice gesture. but no merchant processing bank is going to care about a petition.

I feel the need to act as well. He REALLY needs to get back in the game. It will be a big blow to this industry if he doesn't get back up!!

4 months? That's way too long. Why is this still happening?

If I was in his shoes I would've set up a WordPress site with a woocommerce shopping cart and PayPal processing. A different domain too maybe - redirect hits from the original site to the new one.

Guys, do you not think Garry is doing everything in his power to get the issue resolved? This is a hobby and a passion for us but to Garry it is his livelihood. None of us know the underlying reason behind him losing his merchant and paypal account, and trying to put out petitions and saying what we would do if we were in his shoes isn't going to do anything to help him resolve the matter.

We've seen that he's made some changes to his website and I'm sure there's a lot more going on in the background that none of us know about, as I don't believer that Garry is the kind of guy who'd just throw his hands in the air and accept defeat. I am more than sure that he wants to start selling products on his website again more than any of us do.

I tried emailing him but didn't get a response.

1automationwiz is just his shopping cart, his merchant bank is probably underwritten by either chase, wells fargo, or first data. Based on the issues he's having I'm guessing it's first data. Chase and wells fargo have no problem processing adult items like sex toys so I doubt pheromones would be a problem.

The real issue is that first data may have terminated his account, then placed him on the match/terminated merchant file which would auto-block him from 95% of credit card processing companies. If he brings his site up to standards they may remove him but until then he's kind of stuck.

If they don't remove him there are a few merchant providers who will make exceptions like bank of america and durango merchant services but he could also use a service like 2checkout, fastspring, or clickbank to process physical products. The downside is that they have slower payouts - weekly with a 3-4 day delay vs. merchant accounts which payout daily.

Is Amazon still the preferred way for people in the US to place orders with LAL. Or is there an easier/better way?

I've ordered AV from Amazon and had no trouble.

Do you live in US or overseas?
