    Did Paypal is the best payment option?

    Or any other one?

    Please put your ratings with Paypal to all other payment options..

    Well, it depends on who you are targetting and what you are selling? Paypal has been quite popular and growing over the last several years and it is constantly increasing the number of countries which it supports.

    If your customers are not from the paypal supported countries, you might want to look at the other solutions as mentioned by Richie.

    Definately paypal is best amongst all payment option available because its widely used (most people prefer paypal as payment option). Other options i prefer moneybookers and e-gold. Last but not least it all depends on "who you are targetting and what you are selling" as eddy2099 said.

    Paypal is currently being used by most of the people .. so its good to use paypal but if the country is not supported by the paypal < they have recently included some new countries > ... then rest are good aswell < already pointed out by Richie >
    Good Luck ;) :)

    2CheckOut is a decent alternative. I've heard Authorize.net mentioned
    a few times around the place too.

    I think 2checkout is best as it is easy to open 2checkout account whereas in order to open authorize.net account theres too many verifications and stuff :)

    Paypal - 9/10
    Egold - 8/10
    Moneybookers - 7/10

    I think PayPal is one step better than Checkout.
    Because PayPay has the service in more countries..
