Paypal limits for forum subscriptions, recurring billing
 
Have you ever come across this error?

Quote:

Invalid Regular period. You must specify values for the A3, P3 and T3 parameters for a subscription.
It's because Paypal sets limits to the lengths you're allowed to set for subscriptions that have recurring billing. In vBulletin, for example, this limitation is not mentioned in the admin back-end. (Admittedly, I've not scoured the vBulletin user manual, but I'd think this info would have been important enough to put in the subscription setup area)
  • D – for days; allowable range for p3 is 1 to 90
  • W – for weeks; allowable range for p3 is 1 to 52
  • M – for months; allowable range for p3 is 1 to 24
  • Y – for years; allowable range for p3 is 1 to 5
So you can only have subscriptions on cycles with a maximum value of 90 days, 52 weeks, 24 months, or 5 years.

My recent attempt to create a subscription for longer than 24 months failed. This does not appear to affect one-time payments, as I was able to create 10-year subscriptions that was not recurring.

Lowered my values, and it should work. Easy enough! :)

Information from docs found at x.com, the Paypal Developer Network.

Paypal charges more than all other for their services. I suggest you to try
Code:

and get benefit from its unique services like recurring invoices and scheduling.

Why would I use a no-name company that hides who own it? :mad4:
And host it on a $5 budget server? :mad4:

I think I'll stick with Paypal. ;)
Even with all the warts, it's a real company, controlled by U.S. laws (a good thing!), and it's therefore safe.

The person leaving the spam above was using a proxy:
Quote:

IP Address 208.85.6.243
City Latham
State or Region New York
Country United States
ISP Turnkey Internet Inc.
Latitude & Longitude 42.7250 -73.7530
Domain turnkeyinternet.net
ZIP Code 12110
I wouldn't be surprised if this site was a scam intended to steal your money. Because those behind it have tried to completely hide their footprints, even when spamming. (Turnkey is a host, not an ISP. Hence why it has to be a proxy.)

Spam fail! :no1:
