    I use Moneyboookers coz paypal does not cover the global transaction processing and Moneybookers does :) So when you do business online you should not limit your growth and potential customers to a selected group of countries, instead you should target the global market

    I use Moneybookers, because like Sharon25 said - paypal is not global. In my country we can only send money with Paypal but not receive it. And that really sucks.

    Anyway, I think moneybookers is very reliable, I only wish it would become as popular as paypal.

    Well if i may add some more spice to the soup :D you guys hv no idea how frustrated i am :mad: thanks to paypal coz i need to buy some products and services and the merchants offer only paypal as the sole payment option and even though you have globaly accepted CC, you still cant pay for wot you want to buy coz paypal is not global and as a result im unable to make my purchase, and the most unfortunate fact is, these merchants may not realize how many sales and profits their losing coz of this issue. Coz there maybe hundreds and thousands of frustrated buyers like me

    My point is if moneybookers can go global and if 2co can go global along with every other payment processors why the hell paypal not goin global..? Are they soo poor to improve their service..??? :confused:

    Moneybookers (because the idiots at Paypal are too lazy to move their butts and set up a system so that my country could receive money too)

    Moneybookers is as nearly as fabulous as me :))))))

    Seriously its fab only jibe I have is the wait to fund it from the banks.
    IF you could fund it instantly from bank accounts it really would be as fabulous as me.

    Moneybookers have only 2 problems:
    1. They are not used nearly as much as Paypal (problems buying, selling, can't sign up for some services that use paypal only)
    2. their name is made up of two words, because of which I always have to retype their name - I always get is as "Money bookers":D

    It is not purely paypal fault that their service is not for your country. You have to ask your government why is that so that paypal is not supported for you....

    anyway moneybookers rock :D

    If you use the credit card faciity of Moneybookers, does it require your client to sign up with MoneyBookers ? Paypal credit card payment requires credit card holders to sign up with Paypal.
