This is what you get when you sign up

Now you can buy low cost digital stuff really fast with a single click - no more forms, or giving away your credit card information, which means no personal information is passed to the seller. Get music, images, videos, games etc. across the web, without all the hassle! Just pay and go.

If you haven't yet, transfer a little money from your Credit card or PayPal to your new WebPurse and you'll be all set for true one click payments. Transfer ?15 or more (or equivalent in any other currency) and we'll pay any third-party fees. And don't worry about transferring too much because we comply with FSA regulations so you can always transfer the money back to PayPal or to your bank account at any time.

Here's a few more things you may like to know:
Your WebPurse can make you money too!

Whenever you see this icon, click it to share a link and earn real money! share-n-earn is our micro-affiliate service, which means the site you're visiting is generous enough to share a piece of the pie with you when you bring friends and followers to their site. Just post the link and when your followers buy stuff, watch the earnings roll in. Use the control panel to transfer your earnings to your WebPurse for spending or transfer the money directly to your bank account or PayPal.
10 Free bids

Did you know, your WebPurse was created with 10 free bids for use in the CarrotBid lowest bid auction, where you can win iPads, a crate of beer (sorry, UK only), headphones and even a trip to space! This strategy game is simple and fun for beginners yet complex enough to keep you guessing and coming back again and again. Want to know how it works.
Get discounts and special offers with our open loyalty programme

Collect loyalty "Carrots" and trade them in for discounts. For a limited period when you add money to your WebPurse you'll receive a bunch of Carrots by way of a little thank you from us. As the Carrot community grows, more and more merchants are offering discounts when you trade-in your Carrots. For example you can get as much as 40% off when you bid on the trip to space auction.

File hosting and sales

This unique subscription-less service allows any Carrot user to upload a file (image, audio, video, game etc), and to get paid whenever anyone downloads it. You promote the link to your file and sales revenues are instantly paid directly into your Carrot account for you to spend as you wish.

So you were selling download connections to content that was probably 80% pirates and you knew it. And paying others to upload content you had no way of knowing (this is a lie as you could for just done a search for pirated content and seen when your site popped up) and now moaning you got caught.

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. You know exactly what that means as it's not literal.
