Reptster.com experience with show sponsorship not good

Here's something to ponder. Federal law requires that merchant use SSL to secure online credit card transactions. Failure to do so can lead to fines and the revocation of the ability to process transactions.

The FTC links on the page don't appear to work. Most of that info can be found here though:

You cant remove yourself... all you can do is suspend yourself which makes you invisible to other members... at least that is the way I read it. Cause I tried to delete my account.

At the very least, delete ANY CC info you have stored on that site.
You don't want to take any chances nowadays by not protecting your financial data as much as you can.

I couldnt find my cc info... maybe because I hadnt shipped anything.... however I did order some supplies from them. Maybe Im looking in the wrong spot. Where would I find it.

Well, the Reptster.com thread is now ranking up there with some of the big boys. Just pulled into 14th place. Not a very nice accomplishment for David to aim for I guess.

That must mean they've signed up THOUSANDS of new members!!!

I have just been informed that Reptster has paid Repticon for the past Columbia Tote Bags. He owes us nothing at this point, but still doesn't excuse him for what he did to Kelly and Matthew.

OK gang. Please limit the discussion to business aspects of dealing with Reptster and avoid involving yourself and this site by association in an "us versus them" affair. What they do in relation to how they run their site is their own affair, unless it affects you in a business sense. Making this a hostile environment for Reptster defeats the hoped for purpose of this thread, which is, of course, to try to resolve the originally stated issue.

Did you remove yourself from both sections? From what I understand they are separate -- perhaps you removed yourself from the shipping section but didn't from them general site membership? Which is why you could still sign into the site but not the shipping section?

This is pretty much what I sent them in the first request. Pretty clear to me.

Do we know what is required as far as the storage of information as this seems to be the major beef everyone has -- as far as the credit card transaction (the actual passing of the money which would require the SSL security -- since that goes on offline after the package has shipped -- I don't know how you would prove it is a secure transaction or not?

ooops!

Ya got me. I am sure it's in some of those FTC documents. Regardless of whether the transaction occurs offline or in real time, it would seem from what I read that the use of SSL is required to secure the credit card information. I haven't done a transaction so I can't say whether they have a certificate or not. Somebody would have to check. There would be a little lock in the bottom right and the page would have https at the top.

It would depend on how he is processing the transaction -- most hardware and software used for cc transactions are ssl secure. If he is entering the cc info into a program, has a merchant account or one of those cc machines -- the transaction itself is more than likely ssl secure.

How about the security when the end user is entering their CC info into his website? Is that secure? That is what I'm referring to.

Oops hit the button too soon -- the credit card isn't charged when you are on the web site -- it's charged after the fact - so there wouldn't be the little icon at the bottom because when you ship you're just processing the label not completing a "purchase" transaction -same as using Fedex's software.
