Linkpoint vs Alertpay vs Safepay vs Paypal....

Discussion in 'PayPal' started by ZenMarketer1, Jun 5, 2009.

    I'm trying to assess the benefits of each of these and would appreciate feedback from those who have used at least one of these. Ideally I'd like to hear from those who have used two or more and can give a personal review of which they prefer more and why.

    Some online businesses use Alertpay exclusively, or Linkpoint while others also offer alternatives (i.e. Linkpoint and Safepay, Alertpay and Paypal).

    Thanks in advance for your two cents everyone :D

    well good thing with linkpoint is that once you make a sale..it goes directly to your bank account and will be there in 3 days max...however..if there are ever any chargebacks...they will take it back from your account...no questions asked...alertpay isn't big enough..but doesn't flag your account over stupid crap like paypal...and doesn't have a big enough base to honestly use frequently...paypal..well you have to deal with the red flags and constantly getting limited and sending them your life information...over sometimes nothing...i have never used safepay

    I personally have use AP and Pp.
    AP is used to receive payment from Paid to Read and Paid to click sites.
    While PP is for biz purposes.

    Thanks gang.

    Mentos, have you (or anyone else reading this thread) experiencd any of those problems?

    The thing I'm not liking about Alertpay is the type of information they require (like a utiility bill with your address on it) and such in order to qualify for them activating your account. What a pain :(

    I've been using AlertPay for more than a year and I can't complain about their services. Their support is fast, professional and efficient. If you run into a problem with the seller/buyer and there is a reversed transaction or something, their staff is always there to lead an investigation and find out who is the cheater, and I appreciate that very much. The bad part about AlertPay is their fees. Compared to PayPal their fees are pretty high, but it all depends on what you want to use the account for. If you use it for a large business, I'm sure you can make a deal with them to cut the fess ;)

    As for PayPal, I don't think there is much to say. Everyone know who PayPal is...

    Hope this helped ;)

    Regards.

    PayPal = horrific. But it's the most used out there. For every good, there's a bad.

    Care to elaborate jb? I've personally never had a problem with them. Actually every transaction I've used them for has been handled without a hitch (including one unfortunate dispute with a seller).

    Thanks OnlyOne for your info on AlertPay's fees. Didn't know that.

    cheers,
    ZM
