If you have been unable to buy a premium account at Ryushare for the last few weeks, you might want to try again today.
I posted earlier about ryushare's website being broken, i.e. not allowing you to buy premium service. I contacted the customer service of both ryushare and Avangate, the company that handled ryushare's payments.
I haven't yet heard from ryushare, but I did get a response from Avangate:

"Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting us.
Unfortunately there is nothing that we can do to fix this. We no longer process payments for this company but they have not updated their website.
Thank you.

I tried ryushare again today, and they have finally updated their site. Now when you click on a pay button, you are directed to a new site, paydollar.com, which seems to be based in Hong Kong.
They only accept Visa or Mastercard. If you fill out their form, you are giving them every detail of your credit card, including the ccv number.
I just don't feel comfortable doing this. I have no idea what laws Hong Kong enforces for credit card safety, or how I would go about trying to get compensation if they misuse my information. If a foreign company won't let me pay via PayPal, I won't do business with them.
I appeal to Akiba to stop insisting on Ryushare. The foreign payment processor aside, the fact that it took nearly a month for Ryushare to fix its website indicates that it is not well organized, and might disappear at any time.
If you are short of money, make this a pay website. I would gladly pay a dollar a month to use this site, and I think most other users would. That should solve your money problems.
