Well it really depends if your B2C or B2B. If the former it would be highly unfeasable to not accept card payments, whether via paypal or a merchant account. With the latter it's not as unknown -- particularly if you making a first order with a supplier. I've a couple of suppliers who only accept cheque or BACs, when asked why it was simply because they don't want to hassle, expense (albeit small) and their customers are happy to use alternate methods. Although this method wouldn't really work very well with webhosting services or other monthly type services

A no-withdrawal clause would probably be held to be an unreasonable contract term and struck out. Even so, the chances are you would still be held liable for the price.

Why would a no-withdrawal clause be unreasonable?

Infact I can't recall many contracts i've signed having a withdrawal clause. You will have the right to withdraw at the end of the contracted period.

Agreements without such: watercooler; franking machine; print-ad agreement; ect.

It would only be unfair if there was for example a clause that meant they could change the price without you having a right to reject it.

Seriously?

Look at post 5. My post has two lines; they quoted it and deleted the first line that said

Paypal isn't a credit card payment, it's a Paypal payment but you used your credit card to upload the money to Paypal.

leaving just

I wouldn't say it sounds like a scam, just the fact they're a small company that doesn't have credit card facilities

and replied with

I'm a small company who doesn't have CC facilities but I accept payment via Paypal (where the other party can use their CC without needing a Paypal account). So your argument doesn't really fly.

So they deleted the bit where i said that using a credit card to pay via Paypal, isn't a credit card payment (to the vendor) but a Paypal payment. And replied saying that my argument doesn't fly as they themselves don't accept credit cards but accept Paypal.
The first line of my original post (post 5) countered what they said after quoting the rest of my post.

I get what you're saying. All I was getting at was that a Consumer can pay via CC, albeit in to a Seller's Paypal account. If a seller offers NO means by which a consumer can use their CC card then I'd be wary.

We're both saying the same thing really, but have different angles on the outcome.

i'll agree with that...!

i was offered an advertising space yesterday, which I accepted. The seller announced that there is no withdrawal from contract since they would not allow any competitor to advertise in the same space. I agreed.

From whom, how and why? Is this a company you have dealt with before just ringing you and convincing you to advertise again or a completely unsolicited new entity who randomly phoned you to ask if you wanted to advertise with them?

It sounds like they sought you out and unless you are fully sure who you are dealing with I would be very careful.
