And I can back Hornet 3D up, somewhat with Paypal. They were good until the one time I had a problem. Then it was painful. Fortunately, if I recall correctly, the problem was minor, although the thing that sticks in my memory was the time spent on the computer and on the phone. I would - and do occasionally - use Paypal as an extra level of security, but if the issue is on Renderosity's end or between Renderosity and the rest of the financial world, I'm not sure that PayPal is all that secure either. For a protracted dispute I feel the credit card laws might favor me more than any laws between me and a Paypal dispute (where's their arbitration, California?). Again, it's having been hacked on a Visa debit card transaction where the ONLY other party was Renderosity, and the feeling that nothing is changing on the Renderosity end to prevent it from happening again in the future.

We have protection in the UK with credit cards and in the main they are quite good. You also have protection if you make a purchase and the goods are not supplied but only if the purchase is over £100. I am not sure if the same protection applies to Paypal, it certainly does not apply to debit cards of any kind.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
