    I am a small internet marketer who is currently using Pay Pal for my CC processing. Twice they have limited my account with no explanation whatsoever. No complaints either. I am tired of the interruptions and intrusion into my business. Oh yes I am a verified merchant. What I would like to know is if anyone uses AlertPay or any other processing companies and how they stack up to Pay Pal? I am ready to switch! Seems that whenever I get an order over $250 from outside the USA they limit my account and want all kinds of redundant and repetitive information not to mention they are hurting my business which is 100% CC. What other alternatives are out there?

    Have you ever had these issues with US payments? I've looking to start using them for CC processing, but all business would be within the US.

    I registered with AlertPay sometime ago and integrated it into my website. Interestingly none of my buyers have used AlertPay so far :D

    That would be because consumers generally aren't going to use a service they've never heard of. PayPal has nation-wide brand name recognition, whereas the average consumer has never heard of AlertPay.

    I had opened Alertpay account long time ago but never use it until now. Most people prefer to use Paypal rather than Alertpay.

    Alertpay is pretty good actually, I've been using Paypal for over 3 years but I also like Alertpay.

    I use paypal. It's widely used and convenient. But the commission is really high.

    Liberty may be good. But Paypal has recognition going for it. People trust them even if Paypal's reputation is in the can for being crooked. weird.
