Maybe you're skeptical but if everyone thought like this, here is a small list of things I wouldn't be able to do which I'm really thankful for:
1) AWS bills me automatically every month for the hosting. I'm totally fine with it and kinda happy they do it.
2) Namecheap renews my domains for me (the ones I've setup on auto-renew). I'm happy they do it because I'm traveling a lot.
3) Paying for services like Uber with my credit card sounds nice. The process seemed really effortless.
4) I'm sure I can think many more things where this is a convenience for the customer.
> Thanks to the RBI I can rest easy without worrying about getting (unsanctioned) charges on my credit card from shady businesses.
There are cheats and there is a system for dealing with cheats. It's the same everywhere (419 scammers are not from India). You don't unplug from the internet on Windows just because there are a tonne of viruses for Windows. You install an anti-virus or firewall for that.
> If you are a business in India try looking into the ECS option:
I know about the ECS option but that really doesn't work very well with online business. As far as I know you need a Void check from the customer and there is paperwork (AFAIK). Also what about international customers, just because you're based here does not stop you from having those.
- thisisit 12y agoECS doesn't require a void check. The electricity bill which you might be paying via your credit card on a monthly basis is an ECS payment. The only problem here is as a business you cannot set it up for a customer, like the AWS bill because "ECS Credit can be used to pay interest, dividends...." (pay; not charge) Customer needs to add and set it up on his own, so thats a bummer for sure.
- programmer_dude 12y agoI think there is some merit in what you are saying. But personally I would never allow any company (be it Amazon or Namecheap) to withdraw a variable amount of money from my bank account without prior authorization. Manual authorization is a minor inconvenience but prevents major headaches down the line. You know like they say: Prevention is better than cure. >3) Paying for services like Uber with my credit card sounds nice. The process seemed really effortless. You do not need a credit card for online transactions in India. Credit cards are mostly redundant in the age of internet banking (as far as Indian businesses are concerned). I have never used a Credit Card to buy anything from flipkart etc (I choose the net banking/online payment option always). I guess you do not know about this because the USA does not have creditcardless online payments.
