You can try out Moneybookers as an alternative to paypal.

I know Moneybookers but I heard that we can't transfer money from Moneybookers to Paypal and from Paypal to Moneybookers.

Thats true. You can't transfer money from MB to Paypal and Paypal to MB as they both not allowed that.

That's the reason because I don't want to use Moneybookers. What about plimus, does anyone now something about Plimus?

Eddy2099 uses plimus and is quite happy with it.

I think he sells digital software.

And when you need the opinion of somebody in this sub forum, who better than Eddy himself ?

He should hopefully post here when he sees the thread.

AlertPay is gaining popularity...I doubt if any of the alternatives would have a user base like paypal ever.

Yes they can? I have received payments from cc many times. Look at their cc processing fees...

cc=credit card...but I think moneybookers can accept CC payments (guess you have to upgrade to a merchant account to do that)

I've used Plimus as a merchant. They are expensive, but you get what you pay for, they are VERY good at what they provide.

I use Plimus for the past 4 months and I am satisfied with them. They have good support.

Ah yes, I just woke up so I missed this thread.

Yes, I have been using Plimus for over 2 years now and found them to be very professional. In fact, they are actually in for the big business and they do spend a lot to mitigate fraud and increased buyer's experience.

They are a whole lot more expensive than some but I use them because I have a peace of mind with them. In fact, recently they bend their backs a little to help me. I had a government client who wanted to purchase my software and they only do Purchase Order. Plimus supports that but only if the dollar value is above $100. The order was for something about $70ish but Plimus allows for the PO to be used for this order.

If you have any questions about Plimus, feel free to ask. Actually, with Plimus I am now able to sleep at night because I know that everything would run smoothly.

Thanks for your feedback :) What do you mean with the are more expensive? Is it about the comission ? http://www.plimus.com/pricing.shtml . Is it more than paypal?

Yes, it is about the commission.

Paypal charges about 1.9% to 3.9% + US$0.30 per transaction. https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-fees-outside

Fine..
saw the posts for plimus and am also looking for some other payment processor since paypal hurts me very much with limited accounts and customer hv to login to paypal to pay etc.,

By the By, @eddy ,could you tell me whether plimus accepts websites which sell ebooks(once paid,customers can download from the site)

And if the customer has made purchase,what will his cc statement show?
Will it show our name or will it show only Plimus

becoz Clickbank transactions show as Clickbank on CC statment

Hope to get reply

Well, Plimus is made for shareware and in my case, I have Plimus issue the registration key on my behalf to the customer in the email once the sales is cleared. In that email, you can customized to include a download link on your website or either upload the ebooks to Plimus so that they will deliver it to the customers via email.

As for what shows on the customer's Credit Card Statement, Plimus allows you to set a default name to be used across all your products or you can customized it per product. It will basically be tagged as PLI*ProductName or PLI*MerchantName .

In my case, I customized it per software so my customer knows what the payment was for.
