Allow guest payments in resources

[Eccat]

Lately I have been trying to buy some resources on here but it always says guest payments are not enabled and that makes it hard to buy stuff without paypal. I have talked to Zeiyon and they said they believe its on mc-markets side and make a suggestion so here I am!

This is a really good idea and I think can benefit sellers much more in the Resources section.

Thanks for your feedback on this it drives me nuts when I see a great resource then find out I cant buy it.

How would this affect you? You're not a guest.

Paypal, not mcm. Essentially meaning you can pay with a debit/credit card without the need of a PP account.

I’ve never purchased a resource on Mc-Market so this isn’t my area of expertise but if guests were able to purchase resources without having an account, couldn’t they leak the resources effortlessly without any repercussions?

Its on paypal that allows you to pay with a debit card without a paypal account not a mcm account.[DOUBLEPOST=1559422013][/DOUBLEPOST]

I have linked this to resource makers and all of them have said they believe its on mcm side. I dont have paypal so I havent tried it for myself but thats just what I have been told.

not a great idea... would also lead to more leaks and chargebacks

The main problem I have with this is mentioned above. This would mean basically no culpability for anyone buying resources and just charging back. For members, they'd get banned. I've occasionally had trouble with such things on Sellfy as well. Unless there's some sort of system in place that allows you to ban specific Paypal accounts from purchasing from you, this'd be problematic.
I would suggest that, before anything like this is implemented, MCM develops a 'blacklist' system, where a 'guest' that charges back (and perhaps only when they lose) will be added to that blacklist, forbidding them from making further purchases.

It's the Paypal though, not MCM. There would still be a tie between their MCM and payment

yes, but since Paypal doesn't have a 'blacklist' system, afaik, we'd be restricted to 'reacting' to each of their purchases.
Example: let's say I have 20 warzone products available. Someone buys one, and charges back. They lose the chargeback, but try again on other products. I'd have to deal with them 20 separate times, instead of just once and then blocking them from trying again.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
