Hi all... the last couple of days I've been researching for PayPal alternatives, in the country I live in I can only send money through PayPal, but not receive I've come down to three options and I'd greatly appreciate your comments/experiences on this: 1. AlertPay.com 2. MoneyBookers.com - I've created an account here, but I cannot see any option for me to create a 'Buy now' button, is this at all possible here? 3. PayPay.com - Anyone has used this before? It seems too good to be legit. Many thanks!
I've used alertpay more then a year ago and it was good but I am not in a position to give you satisfactory answer. I am currently using moneybookers and they are absolutely awesome and you should keep on using them. Reason why you can't create a buy now button is that you are signed up for a personal account and to create "buy now" buttons you must have a business account.
Thanks Disguised... I thought it was something of the sort with Moneybookers. Is there a way an account can be switched once created? I'll contact their support to see what they say anyway.
I didn't find the answer whether you can upgrade your account from Personal to Business so you must call them regarding this. Here is some info about Merchant accounts: Hope that helps.
Helps a lot thanks! I was too hasty in creating the account I hope I can switch... in any case many thanks
Why seems PayPay to good to be legit? PayPay is 100% legit and has a good service. I only use from time to time. But what you think about Bidpay? You had a look at it?
I've read forums posts and reviews about PayPay which makes it sound a bit shady; although no-one gives solid evidence on any wrong-doing, hence my asking here for your experiences. It seems to good to be true cause it offers all services I'm looking for at good transaction fee rates I'll check it out further. Haven't given BidPay a closer look yet - isn't it just for auction type sites?
Paypal is the most popular and widely used payment processor, I would love to use paypal as often as possible but mine is a send only account. Moneybookers is an excellent alternative for those who cannot recieve money from paypal.
I use paypal just because it is accepted everywhere. But when i get the chance i will always choose moneybookers, Never had a problem with them.
