Zzps

Hi Guys

I came across this forum and thought I would ask for some advice.

I have recently received a ticket from Vinci Park through a company called ZZPS Ltd.

When I go on their website to pay the ticket it takes me to a PayPal page and there is a charge of £5.95 for making a payment.

Is this usual practice for these companies and where does this money go to? Does PayPal keep the money or are ZZPS keeping this as profit?

    Please don't pay this. Read the sticky Newbies thread at the top of the parking sub forum.

    Hi Guys

    I should have mentioned that I have no intention of paying the money but was just very surprised at the amount they charge to take a payment.

    I am interested to find out whether the £5.95 stays with ZZPS or if PayPal take a cut of it. It just seemed an excessive sum for a 'card processing fee'.

    I have done some research on ZZPS Online and it seems that they have a chequered history in the industry - or at least the director does

    I thought Paypal took 3.4% plus 20p per transaction, (certainly on Ebay sales).

    sorry , I always just round it up to 4% and forget the odd 20p , easier on the brain on weird numbers


    so that's £3.40 +20p , so zzps are stitching you and want reporting to paypal for lying about paypal charges

    So it is fair to say then that ZZPS are making a large profit out of processing fees.

    I wonder whether Vinci are aware of just how much people are getting ripped off just for the pleasure of paying ZZPS.

    I can feel an email coming on!

    Has anybody got any contact details for Vinci senior managenent
