    Most companies start small, but with good services and marketing strategies as well as finding their niche, they can grow and be a force to reckon with. But it takes time, hope that alertpay will gain enough market share that one year from now we are able to buy more things with it on the Net.

    Well, what do you mean by finding a niche, finding customers. I know niche refers to similar sites, like Paypal in this case.

    When you are small, you do not have economy of scale, therefore you need to find for eg this particular group of users that you can cater best, promote to them and gain that segment, this is niche marketing. Once you had that segment and hence the numbers, you can start expanding.

    Paypal Sucks, they are the 3rd party payment processor Nazi's. Unfortunately they are the most widely known and used on the internet. There are plenty of horror stories of them freezing accounts for no reason at all. It only takes a google search to find that out. They are not a bank and therefore not regulated by any government agency whatsoever. This enables them to treat their customers like crap. It's not a problem for them though. They can ban and freeze as many accounts per day as they like because those customers will be replaced in a matter of hours with new sign-ups.

    I would love to see someone topple this giant, but it's not going to happen any time soon. Until then we are all stuck with them.

    Well, AlertPay is somewhat harder to use, in terms of getting verified.

    PayPal is okay, it's just that they assume every individual is a selfish criminal. Actually, the way I look at it, PayPal is hypocritical; they're stealing money from you.

    Scrutiny by who? Also what operations that it runs cause it to be under such scrutiny? I haven't heard of any investigations into Paypal practices.

    You haven't heard but that does not mean it has not happened. I have read articles about E-Gold investigated by CIA, but also PayPal has been accused for frosting accounts and as I know has paid some millions to someone because of this. You can search and you will find info.

    alertpay is better than paypal better in the sense that they support payment all over the world no restriction because they have the power to protect their system while paypal is afraid of some country that they think can break their code. if paypal can protect his system from all crime system they may be the best but as for now alertpay is like an angel that is not partial on their services.
    they are even better in the areas of the code and banner access listed in theIR links , that is, if you want to try the account just to confirm as i have confirm JUST REGISTER WITH THE LINK BELOW I LIKE THEIR SERVICES SIMPLE AND SECURE

    paypal does not make it service simple but with unnecessarily protocol, that may cause user to register and complete the registration in one to too month. that is bad of paypal but at the-same time they do that for security purposes because they are afraid. that is why alertpay is better and secure
