I live in Australia, i have a year old unverified account which ive forgotten the password and secret questions too. But thats secondary. How do you create one of those button where ppl can pay you a few bucks instantly, not a donation, but to enter a competition etc.. With paypal being a monopoly on the internet you are forced to use them. I am however worried about the stories of blocked and frozen accounts. Is this as bad a problem as the posts here indicate. Since i am expecting a large volume of traffic sending me $ to line my pockets with lol if the account is frozen and unable to accept funds, its all over!!. What to do...
e-gold, 2check out are just a few alternatives and with google steping into the ring, I am sure you can find other means to get your green.
but the masses only know PP, they are unlikely to know about the others, and will no doubt be less inclined to use em. ?
if you verify your account you could do it or get someone trustworthy to hold the funds in their account, like me If you trust me, I can do it free
I would then recommed moneybookers...or get some cash/cheaque from ppl who donate you thoug its not fast but its safe! Most people use PayPal so it the way by which we can do easily but if you dont want to go with PayPal, then go with moneybookers....still they have a lot of problems as you can see in the payment processing forum....but PayPal is the only one payment processor which gives you minimum hasseles if you also work with them professionally and never lie!
