I've never had any problems with PayPal personally, but the horde of negative stories I've heard are enough for me to not want to use them with my business. My business will sell travel planning services, with the vast majority of orders being under $100 (and very low-risk for fraud). I'm hoping to be able to offer services to Americans in U.S. dollars, and to Canadians in Canadian dollars; preferably using the same payment service account. I've seen 2checkout mentioned, but I'm curious to know if there are any other recommendations. Thanks!
Gave Moneybookers a quick glance, and am not thrilled about their 8% cut, even if it ensures no chargebacks. I appreciate the recommendation though, and look forward to more.
Search DP Forum for VCC seller to Begin your Business Online Buying/Selling Experience and if you CHOOSE TO USE a BRAND NEW name other than your real biz name so you doesnt get spammed for life Its always easy to cashout your clean PayPal through the Forums these days, just keep in mind your Paypal funds are more unstable the greater amount you choose to keep in there Never use descriptions always simply transact with the "service" payments. Saves lots of trouble when they start asking questions
never had any problems with moneybookers as being a citizen of nation which is not desirable by Paypal stuff and still can not accept payments by Paypal, I was forced to use mb and never had any negative experience...
I think you should stick to Paypal, because alot of people use the e-currency these days. Stories that we are hearing might not all be true, when pay pal finds something not right, then it banns people... Well that has resulted in the cleanest and safest e-currency to use. That is why it's Popular!
I agree, If you want you business to expand then you will need paypal. I admit it has it's problems, but most people believe in using it.
I've been hearing complaints about PayPal for several years now, including some very strange stories where PayPal had no business doing whatever it was they did; these are not isolated incidents. Why do I need PayPal? Customer confidence? I can see how customer confidence may have a small negative impact, but not to the point that I would "need" PayPal.
Another reason you hear so many negative thing about Paypal is because so monay people are using it. I never even hear or e-gold or moneybrokers until this year. How long has paypal been out. The only real alternative to paypal is 2checkout.
MoneyBookers is great alternative to Paypal. It is available to people who can't access Paypal because of country restrictions. Another option is E-Gold but it is a little bit risky.
I would suggest you to use Money booker and also E-gold as these in my opinion are the best option after paypal.
But e-gold is a scammers currency, autmatically when I see someone using e-gold I think that he plays or owns hyips/autosurfs.
Just another vote for Moneybookers here. They are really good and are available in more countries than Paypal. I've never had any problems with them.
