Why DP members like Paypal & E-Gold payments only??

    I wonder why most members in DP use only Paypal & E-Gold payments :confused:
    If you do some research about Paypal & E-Gold you got this:
    1- Paypal likes only buyers & hates sellers!
    2- Paypal doesn't support all countries!
    3- E-gold likes only sellers & hates buyers!
    4- You can not get your money back if you use E-gold payment!

    Oh! I think I must use only payment like MoneyBookers.:rolleyes:

    Well, I don't like e-gold myself.

    I mainly buy so I use what is convenience. Paypal allows me to use my credit card to pay through so that is convenience for me. Moneybookers however need me to load my account and I have to pay for the loading charges (not that it is a lot) but it is a little less convenient.

    If you can accept credit card payments, I would pay through that.

    Not sure about the rest though.

    PayPal allows buyers that scam.
    E-Gold allows sellers that scam.

    I'm really surprised !
    If you guys don't like Paypal & E-gold why you use them instead of money bookers or any other payment? :confused:

    Paypal hates sellers? That's kind of odd because they's how they earn money.. off the fees they charge sellers to recieve the money..

    i would love to support moneybookers but so far i've had bad experiences with them.

    first thing they want is your CC and bank information which is normal. but then before you can even send or withdraw money they want information like your ID and a utility bill either faxed or mailed to them.... thats pretty inconveinent especially for Americans because their located in the UK and even to call there cost money. At least paypal is toll free if you have a problem.

    once i cleared all that up and finally got my account un-locked (took like 9 days) i request a withdraw again, and now i haven't seen any deposit in my bank and its been over 8 days. at least with paypal i get it in like 2-5 days.

    another problem is that there email support is slower than snails. if you send them an e-mail it takes like 1-2 weeks for a reply. I'd love to support moneybookers because i have a feeling there a good small company but right now they need to work on upgrading there services first.

    i support money bookers, i give a lot of discount for money bookers payments. but then there are more people who likes to do business in paypal so we can't really help that much, but then i always offer 50% discounts on money bookers:)

    I think moneybookers is the best money transfer service available. I use it where possible.

    Their fees compared to paypal make paypal a joke.
    Check out this comparison between Paypal and Moneybookers

    I accept paypal because it's all I've ever know and so many people have PayPal so I can easily pay for things and also for things on eBay.

    I agree- I no longer use egold and have had issues with Paypal- sites like www.paypalsucks.com are there for a reason. I do still use them however because everybody else does. I certainly prefer Moneybookers but few people seem to have an account- come on people- Sign up!

    1-Since every seller has to have a buyer and every buyer has to have a seller, I'm not seeing paypal hating anything.
    2-Thats right, but there is nothing anyone can do about it. That is why egold is there I suppose.
    3-Same thing with egold
    4-That is why I don't use egold =p
