QVC MAKES ME SICK!

rysk29 — Mon, 27 Jan 2014 21:19:07 GMT

I purchased an item on the 23rd and my account was suspended... i had to fax some stuff in to verify i was who i was to complete my order and was assured my order would go through if i verified... however my account has been reopened but my order was canceled... they said i didn't have enough payment history for easy pay... so why make me go through all the trouble of faxing things and being told my order would be fine if they were going to cancel my order.. im so angry about this.. in my opinion qvc is a joke... and they said i can order low ticket items but refused to say how low.. i don't even know what my limit would be.. terrible business practices on qvc's part.

Hmmm. There must be a reason for the way this was handled.

You didn't try to order a 70" tv, a king size bed, an ipad, and a MacBook Pro, by chance, did you?

I'm glad that the Q is taking preventative measures in order to try and cut down on fraud.

They don't know you from a hole in the wall.

How do they know that you are going to make good on the payments?

Yes, most businesses will have a new customer make small purchases first, in order to establish a payment history.

If someone is a brand new customer, and they want to purchase thousands of dollars worth of stuff on the very first purchase, that's a huge red flag that someone might be trying to use a credit card fraudulently.

Sorry that you don't like it, but that's just the way it is.

the only reason to use easy pay is for items u cannot afford all at once.. i mean get real here.. if u cant order nothing but low ticket items there is no need for easy pay.. catch 22 if u ask me.. no troll here.. just doesn't make since the payment cleared with my bank fine.. so yea im angry.. it was a television around 1000 if i was trying to dupe qvc i would have tried the 3000 one smh

Perhaps you should contact the QVC's presidents office and ask them for a detailed explanation and also how they determine how many dollars a new customer can put on monthly easy pay.

If you can't afford to buy it outright, you can't afford it.

So then we can assume you paid cash up front for every car and home you've ever purchased?

Who said anything about a house or car? Although I did pay cash for the car I currently own.

Seems a bit odd that two brand-new posters are asking about how to qualify for easy payments and make big-ticket purchases. I smell some week-old fish.

Your statement was silly. It could be anything - car, house, expensive TV, computer, appliances. Whatever. My point is credit (and easy pay) is available for times when someone cannot purchase an any item outright.

I didn't know you needed to establish a "payment history" with Q before using Easy Pay. Hosts have always said Easy Pay is available to everyone, even if you are a brand new Q customer. So, yes, I can see where the OP is questioning that.

When you order from QVC on easy pay they have to first contact your credit card and verify there is sufficient credit available to cover that item. they put a hold against that total amount right at the beginning then only charge you the monthly amount. So - if your credit card does not have a large enough balance to cover the total amount of the item + S&H + tax they have to deny you the easy pay. And - if you do get easy pay - when you get your cc bill you will note that where it says available credit - the TOTAL amount has been spoken for so the available credit will reflect that. BTW - the first purchase I ever bought from QVC was a set of jewelry and it was on easy pay and they gave it to me no problem. It really sounds like the OP is attempting to buy something that she does not have available credit to purchase.

That's all well and good, but they are going to see what your average monthly balance is before they extend you the credit for the item you want to buy.

If you deposit $1000, but spend $800 of it...your monthly average balance may only be $100-$300 depending on what you spend every month.
