Will there be a cross boarder fee charged if wrestlers in US pay by Credit Card?

In general the merchant has no influence over foreign transaction and/or exchange fees. These are levied by the card issuer, not the payment processor.
I’m with three different banks, one charges me for foreign transactions, the other two don’t. Guess which card I’m not using when abroad?

The only way around this would be if MF had agreements with payment processors in every single county, like some airlines do. I don’t think that’s feasible. If you’re concerned about fees, you’ll have to check with your bank/card issuer.

Having said that, it would be a good idea if it said on the payment form in which country Meetfighters is based for payment purposes.

I m not really concerned ; in fact, I don't mind paying those small fees, but out of curiosity, I wonder if people will get charged with those small fees and start to ask like "oh why do i have those small fees and what are those".

If you get a Chase Bank Sapphire savings and/or checking account the sapphire pays for those expenses and not only that, no wiring money bank-to-bank fees and you know those $4 charges if you getb ATM money out of a non- network machine, they pay that, too. They paid me $600 to move my money from one bank I had to their bank. Who does that? Also if you travel moderately to a lot the card to have is not those cards with $400 annual fee just because they are black, check into the free Capital One World Elite card because its benefits ARE comparable to those $400/year black cards. And there is no annual charge, it's amazing.

Finally MF does not just use PayPal. I stopped donating cuz I refuse to sign up to other sites such as PayPal or Apple or Google Pay that they can lose ur info or sell ur info to spammers.
MF good move. I will donate again.

Rassle speaks the truthI will be donating this week!

I don't use PayPal either though its owned by a millionaire gay man ; when I did donate to MF for at least 3-4 years it was always with a credit card?

In certain countries, you could use a credit card over PayPal. Which did not require a PayPal account. It was still PayPal, you just entered your Credit Card number instead of your PayPal credentials. You probably missed the PayPal logos. For 11 Years we had only PayPal, and for 9 months we had additional wire transfers.

okay then , in hindsight that's good to know

I actually like the PayPal option because it's masked my credit card information from websites. With multiple sites being hacked lately, anything is possible, and an extra level of security always made me feel better. Even though credit card companies also sell your information to their Partners, you have to physically opt out of that service, to not get those emails from third-party vendors. I honestly think PayPal should have still been an option, but you guys are the admin

PayPal decided to stop accepting payments for MeetFighters.com.
I personally would have kept it, the more options, the better.

Would that have anything to do with how the site is categorized? I saw a ruling back in 2019 where they started to not support adult sites and we're withdrawing a lot of approved merchants.

Same thing here, have to be discrete too! Please bring back PayPal! I might not be able to renew now

PayPal decided to stop accepting payments for MeetFighters.com.
It is not possible to bring them back, at least not in the near future.
The new payment option is much discrete as Paypal is - or ever was.

Thanks, looks like direct wire is I guess?

CAN I PAY IN CANADIAN &?

though I wish you had added Discover card, this is still wonderful news as I dislike paypal.

Are pre-paid VISA Gift Debit cards also accepted?

Yeah good question I was wondering about that also. 👍

How is the payment going to appear on my credit card statement? is it going to be "meet fighters"

It shows "MEETFIGHTERS." Previously, this was not the case, and it created a lot of chargebacks as members did not recognize their payments.
I understand that MEETFIGHTERS could be a problem to have on your bank statement. In this case, you can choose "wire transfer," which will not show MeetFighters or anything else which would be associated with this website.
I will update the checkout page to include this information as well.

For all questions asking "is XYZ accepted." Just try it, go to the checkout page, and you get a list of possible options. Some of them are depending on your location/country or the device you use.
(Apple Pay is only visible on iOS with Safari and if you did set up your Apple Pay).

If you don't find a suitable payment option, you can close the donation page again. No harm is done.

If new payment options are available for us, we will add them.

This is a great improvement over Paypal. Could you maybe also add to the payment page in which country Meetfighters is based for payment purposes? This would allow punters to figure out if there will be any foreign transaction fees or not.

No probably not probably be said on the statement wrestlers with hard-ons lol

I wonder why PayPal have stopped accepting payments. Is it the same situation the website Movimus Wrestling faced years ago, where PayPal stopped working with them out of pure discrimination against a pro LGBT company?
