Bundle has a few interesting items in it; however the "buy" page is neither "https" nor locked. So I'm curious what you know about "these folks/this site/this bundle".

Thanks, Paddy. For some reason I'm just seeing this post. I'm not at all sure I like Safari for boards. Anyhow ... I'm going to drop him/them a note before I transmit a CC number.

Check the Display mode under "options" on the top right hand side of the thread. You've probably got it set to "outline" instead of "standard."

Safari is no different in how it displays the forum than Firefox or any other standards-compliant browser. wink.gif

Wrote to Christian, so far no response. I'm curious to know if anyone else has purchased this bundle.

Heard from Christian. His response was:

If you don't wish to enter your CC number on our site, feel free to click the small button next to 'PayPal' this will allow you to pay either with a PayPal account, or using your CC on the secure PayPal site.


Seems he really doesn't care that his shopping pages aren't secure. Makes me think twice about sending him money.

Okay, I took a chance and used PayPal and my one CC. There were 2 aps that made it worth the money. They both work, so I’m thankful. I have 2 apps with bad serial numbers. I've submitted support tickets and it's now been 24 hours and I've not received a response. Personally, I'll never buy another bundle from this guy and I'd suggest none of you spend any money with him either.

Had a look - nothing there I want, but clicked on the "Authorize.Net" seal and got this popup:



Maybe it's the cynic in me, but all that seems to guarantee is that votebundle.com has signed up with Authorize.Net. The disclaimer makes it very clear that its role is nothing to do with us, the people buying from that "customer". But I guess that logo looks good on the bottom of a web page.
