    Do you think they will end up beating paypal in the future. I think its possible. Their design and use is simple and easy for people, which is very important.

    You can really call it "beating PayPal" but the way Moneybookers is progressing with their simple , easy and feasible features soon they will be a big rival of PayPal. More and More people will be opting MB because it is worldwide in true means, simple, no hassle of verification again & again, Easy to reach etc. So yes they will be a strong opponent for PayPal in future. They already have 4 Million + accounts so you can guess ...

    I would love more people to use moneybookers because it's easy to you and they are also very strict with verification but beating paypal will take time but I hope they will.

    I wouldn't say beating paypal. I would say Paypal and Moneybookers are going to be the next Pepsi and Coca-cole, never can beat each other. I use both so I have no problems with neither of them. I like to refer others to moneybookers to get 30% of the fees even tho moneybookers low 1% fees makes it hard to really make money from that. 30% of 1% sucks but its better than nothing. I would refer others to paypal but everybody uses paypal already.

    I don't think it will beat paypal but one beneficial features Moneybookers have that there is NO charge back risk for merchants.

    IMHO that's the problem right there, with the backing of eBay as a preferred payment method, and the likes of skype etc, people use paypal for enough things to make it also essential.

    Their conduct however, is turning people away from them, so there's hope for moneybookers and epassporte to pick up those members.

    I still find using a credit card is easier than all three.

    I think Money Bookers will beat paypal soon because it is not very complex like Paypal,
    paypal offering some countries full rights,some half and some having no rights to use it.
    and Money Bookers accept worldwide and very simple to handle.

    Pay Pal is huuuuuge, and he'll go on and on, but on the other hand MoneyBookers are better. Hope that Moneybookers would be spread just as PayPal.

    No never, PayPal offer so many more features and the majority choice of webmasters and ebay brings thousands of customers a day to them.

    Well moneybookers does not charge as much as paypal so as far as a few wise people are concerned, it has already started beating paypal.

    It will take a long time for them to overtake Paypal. Ebay gives Paypal a natural advantage. MB is more popular in those parts of the world where Paypal doesn't operate- to get into paypal's markets will be difficult.
