Take another example. Gumroad.

. . .
Do you think Gumroad has a "proper tax registration" in every country? Ok, I challenge you. I picked a random EU country. Find me a Gumroad "proper tax registration" in Slovenia

Gumroad are not (usually) a merchant of record. If you sell via Gumroad then you are the seller and Gumroad simply process the payment. It is up to you to handle any taxes.

section from Gumroad's contract.

Except to the extent specifically agreed by Gumroad, you are solely responsible for the proper administration, collection and reporting and remittance to the appropriate authority of all applicable taxes. If you are unsure as to your tax responsibilities then we strongly urge you to consult your own tax advisers.

However according to Gumroad's T&Cs, they can, if agreed in advance, be the seller of the products in which case they will process/collect taxes and submit (in their words) "to the relevant authority".

See section 7 of Gumroad's T&Cs

This in turn has an impact on the fact that only fragments of reports and evaluations are generated. The whole construct seems to be on its last legs. In the meantime, questions that come in via the support center are billed at a nice $185/hour

The grotesque part ist that they're chraging support hours for the treatment of their own faults

On 'Companies House' (The UK register of companies) it shows that since Nov 27. 2024 that guy Kassoff is No longer a "Person with significant control" (I assume he controls some other entity that, in a round about way does have control but this change does show that somebody is still managing things in DR and ensuring the register is kept up to date with whatever it is they're planning)

But it also looks like there's a new change to "Charges" in the register. The "Charges" wording usually means they've very recently extended their loans or had new loans allowing them to continue trading. It's unlikely that they'd manage to get new financing if they were bust seeing as how the financing company takes charge of assets as collateral.

That's DR UK. No idea what the german register says about the GmbH

Beware of phishing e-mail related to MyCommerce KYC. This is a scam, don't click on the "Click here to proceed" button.

I got today message with subject "Ticket04-12-2024" and part of the content reads:

"We require all users to complete verification in order to comply with KYC regulations.
This must be done before 6 december 2024 00:00.
As a regulated financial company, we are required to verify all users on our platform.
What if I don't complete the verification?
If you do not complete KYC verification before the due date, restrictions may be applied.

WTF - That's sad and pretty clever. You should report the email to DR, so they can invoice you for finding it!

DIGITAL RIVER UK LIMITED

19.07.2024. Barry Kasoff took control. Digital River Ireland Limited went out.
24.07.2024. Tmf Corporate Administration Services Limited became corporate secretary.
26.11.2024. Barry Kasoff went out. Digital River Uk Holdings Ii Ltd took control.

Seems that Barry has done the job that he was brought to do. TMF Group was assisting during this period. Someone (thelayoffs) mentioned end of November as important date so above seems to confirm that.

Barry Knastoff is the mafia leader of Digital Robber.
He's got many certificates for cheating and stealing money. He's the best.

When you click on the piture of Barry Kasoff on the site below you get:

"Barry Kasoff is the CEO and owner of Digital River"

"https://www.digitalriver.com/about-us/"

So it's not just about a "job" he's done. He OWNS the whole company including all the sub-companies. He's the one that implied the $100 platform fee, the KI-support, the $185/h support fee, the blocked communication. Plus he publicly claimed that merchant debts are no longer to be recognized as valid obligations. So payout isn't an obligation anymore but an act of mercy.

In a session of the board of directors he also said that he thinks Digital River should charge 50% participation fee on each sale.

This guy is completely nuts. A criminal.

I don't know what is happening with FastSpring lately.

Half of our orders have been rejected due to risk evaluation, and we have not received any response from their support team.

In the past (a few months ago) this was not an issue. All our support calls were answered on the same day.

Thanks

You are right. My notes were about changes related to "DIGITAL RIVER UK LIMITED" only.

Current state is as follows:

DIGITAL RIVER UK HOLDINGS II now owns "DIGITAL RIVER UK LIMITED".
DIGITAL RIVER UK HOLDINGS I owns DIGITAL RIVER UK HOLDINGS II
Barry Kasoff owns DIGITAL RIVER UK HOLDINGS I
Barry Kasoff owns DIGRIV UK LIMITED

So Barry is the man.

We have a webhook for failed orders. Sometimes customers send a screenshot of a failed order.

Hook both:
order.canceled
order.failed

Mostly you get "order.canceled" that is even not visible in the control panel but customers see the error when try to order and the reason for failure is RISC.

No problems here with FastSpring. Last support email was 2 days ago and got answer after 2 hours. 50 orders this month already.

I recommend you have at least 2 companies to process orders. Plus direct sales with bank transfer and Paypal. Split your risks.

Yesterday I used online chat in 2checkout's control panel and got response under a minute. What a difference in service compared to MyCommerce. I'm also in the middle of FastSpring integration. Since I reactivated old account it's seems that I'm using "Classic" store, while they also have a newer "Contextual" store. Which one are you guys using?
