    I'm accepting Paypal payments for digital services, lately I've been suffering from fraud transactions. I'm worried that Paypal might block my account because of fraud buyers.

    You should be prepared to fraud, and check how does each payments gate act to protect the buyer and the seller..

    Always better to have your own merchant account:

    a) more control
    b) far better rates
    c) makes you look more professional

    i've never had experience with alertpay. i wanted to, but they had a tediously long account verification method last time i looked. paypal isn't the best when it comes to secure payments. since it's the most popular, accounts are often stolen and used to buy stuff. along with their dispute center, that's a whole other story though.

    Paypal immediately sides with the customer, so you get stuck with a charge-back that is expensive, even if your TOS was violated. They don't care about your TOS agreement or web hosting companies. Never had a charge-back with Google. I have never used Alert-Pay, but I have used 2 gateways. MES/Merchant Services, they are great! And Beanstream, they are Canadian based and great too!

    Alertpay is better but PayPal is generally accepted by most therefore I use that.
    Google checkout is something that I haven't delt with much so I don't feel comfortable making a comment on that.

    How exactly does a merchant account make you look more professional?

    You must haven't looked through AlertPays policies.
