RIP BidPay

Internet 1 Comment »

I was quite surprised when I heard from Jonathan that BidPay ceased operations at the end of December 2005. I’ve used BidPay many times to pay for my eBay auctions and it was particularly useful in the period when South Africans couldn’t use PayPal (between 2001 and mid 2005 we weren’t able to use PayPal for some reason).

Jonathan also pointed me in the direction of Auctionchex, a smaller operation who seem to provide similar services to BidPay (and support South Africans, which is somewhat of a rarity these days).

.co.za Price Decrease

Internet, South Africa 1 Comment »

As usual, I’m always a bit behind with the news. This evening I saw that the initial registration fee for a .co.za domain has been dropped as of 1 November 2005 (the annual fee is still R50, about $7).

More information.
