Yeah, Moneybookers is great, and cheap... and PayPal sucks. I personally know someone that used to use PayPal... the did a massive launch (over $600,000 in 1 week), and PayPal decided that that seems a bit big, so held on to the funds for 4 months. No reason, there was nothing dodgy, they just would not release the funds. Meanwhile, my friend owed a lot of money to affiliates, who will think twice about dealing with him again. This means that even aside from the hard cost of lost interest ($600,000 can earn good interest), this really hurt his business. I then did some research, and found loads of people have copped the same thing. Google it, there are heaps of stories. I know PayPal are by far the biggest, but I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole... even if they offered to process my transactions for free. I looked into Google checkout, and they looked good, but unfortunately, you can not use them if you are in Australia (which i am). Anyway, no complaints so far with MoneyBookers.
Moneybookers:better chargeback guarantee, accepts over 16 types of cards PayPal: low fee, feature rich and flexible web system, accept 4 major cards
Great views..Yes Paypal wins the race, I have heard that they block funds when they find unusual deposits. I haven't tried MoneyBooker and will surely give a try. Any comments on Alertpay?
here people says, moneybookers is best alternate of paypal but they are wrong. They just say these words but not follow moneybookers as payment gateway. Take my example, whenever i do any job online ppl ask for paypal and when i say whynot moneybookers then they run away. So HOW Moneybookers can be paypal alternate, same as yahoo can not be alternate of google.
Paypal is a 3rd class company (I think so).But,popular.They often limited your account & try to eat your money.But,paypal alternative is alertpay & moneybookers is also a good alternative.
They should notify paypal of massive launch ... before they get 600 000. But however i do not trust paypal.I am always prepared to loose all money i have on my paypal - $0. Because they are big dirty birocratic suckers ... suck bastard. I they hold my $600 000 - i would just go their offices then ask to realise my money. If not i would sue them. If this doesn't work i would hire and killer for 50 000 and then kill that person limited my account.
Well moneybookers is a really great paypal alternative. But paypal is really popular and is accepted by most of the websites whereas moneybooker is not. So paypal is great for it's popularity.
Moneybookers is as good as paypal, one thing i like more more about moneybookers is their customer care solution.
