    Just wanna ask both directory owners and submitters what payment options are usually used by submitters in your directory or what you usually use when paying for links. I'm asking since I'm thinking of offering alternate payment options on my web directory, but I'm not sure if it would be worth the hassle to make these modifications and create accounts on these other payment processors.

    Any input would be appreciated!

    Paypal - it is the most used , however may consider MB for non paypal hosted countries.

    most of all sites(not only directories) use PayPal because of its popularity and use base
    but some use 2CO

    It would seem that Money Bookers is moving up in the world....
    They have redone thier site and seems as safe as Paypal
    so i will accept both as well as
    ALERT PAY which seems to be getting thier stuff together.

    XOOM is another choice out thier thats slowly moving up....
    STORM PAY i dont think will ever get out from behind and are just a dying breed in my view.

    Dont cheat yourself while PAYPAL is the biggest you should always have a back up!
    So as to allow others who dont use it in different countries to buy your goods
    as well in case something ever goes wrong you dont have any downtime searching..

    Think 1 step ahead always.....

    thx

    Very good advice. I use paypal as well, mainly because people feel safe using it and you do not have to have a paypal account in order to pay.

    Of course Paypal because more than 90 percent using paypal IMO.

    My 2nd choice is Moneybookers but still less people using MB.

    PayPal on mine, but am looking at setting up 2CO as well, e-gold I don't think is a good option as their system can be a bit confusing to some.

    eSyndiCat has paypal and 2co by default (but I removed 2co in the code). Someday I'll bring it back, but I like that it's one less step in the checkout process to select your purchase payment type.

    I would think that offering alternate payment option would be a good thing. I like having options. ;)
