Moneybookers or PPal?

Discussion in 'Payment Processing' started by gaylem, Sep 6, 2008.

    From a merchant standpoint, we find that Moneybookers is cheaper than PPal. MBookers does not charge fees for receiving funds and a small fee to transfer to your bank account.

    We prefer Moneybookers when receiving funds for advertising space buys.
    My question is why do more buyers not have MBookers?
    Am I missing something here? Is it tougher to sign up for a MBookers account? I did not find that to be the case.
    What's better about PPal than MBookers? Is it just name recognition?
    Inquiring minds want to know :)

    It's just paypal have been popular for such a longer duration it's hard for moneybookers to compete, i wish everyone had both it would help so much in the webmasters world.

    Another great thing is that moneybookers don't allow chargebacks :)

    PayPal is best for Fastest Payment Transfer! but MB is more reliable than PP

    I'm also interested which one is better? I have an online bussiness of 30000$/month but my local merchant became more greedy. I've heard that PP has some limitation to 2000$/month. Should I choose MB. They have similar limitation. Thx

    I prefer MoneyBookers as its safer than PayPal, but as more people use PayPal I tend to use that more.

    Depends how your type of transactions, its safe to be direct and not have chargebacks. Or if your a buyer you would always go with paypal

    It's just because Paypal is popular and widely use. Almost everybody have heard about Paypal but when talking about MB, many people will say "Huh!! What is that?"

    A lot of people use paypal and if your business does not accept them, then you will be missing out on a lot of potential customers.

    I found verifying bank accounts and such is more difficult in moneybookers. Paypal, for now, will always be a necessary evil.

    I prefer Moneybookers and i think so people must use MB too as paypal don't offer some countries and people working here on dp face different problems as most of the buyers here just use PP
