    Hi every DP member,

    after the issue that afected directly indians and inderctly all users here, it's time to think of a good alternative to switch to.

    Even if you are not an indian you may deal with a lot of them here or in any webmaster forums, so your payment from them may be reversed too.


    So why we have to stay doing nothing?
    We have to look for an alternative and start doing biz in a safe way.


    We will discuss here which payment processor, and this is time to say NO to paypal.

    I think alertpay is best alternative if they have support to Indian banks but unfortunately they have no support. We cannot receive money to Indian banks directly like paypal.
    We can receive check though but takes long time.

    I am trying out moneybookers, will see how this is gonna work for me and will update here...
    I just added my bank account to it....

    Regards

    I think Alertpay is just an other paypal, almost the same rules but with less services.

    I'm working fine with moneybookers.

    Alertpay supports withdrawal to Indian banks, but only as wire transfer in USD. Unlike paypal, which does transfer in indian rupees. It takes 3 to 5 days for payments from Alertpay to hit the bank. They charge $30 as transfer fees.

    In addition to your bank account information, you will have to provide them with the SWIFT code of your Bank. Without the SWIFT code the transfer will not work.

    I support the whole parties. There should be an alternate for sure. As paypal started 'fee'ing twice we must go away.

    Fee 1: At the time we receive money (hereafter)
    Fee 2: With very low currency transaction rates

    What do you folks think about 2CO? It accepts paypal and pays you through a Payoneer card. Check it out at 2CO.com. I don't use it but I have been thinking about switching to it. Paypal is ticking me off bigtime now.
