I do hope it will help

 

There's also

e-gold.com

They have NO charges for buying/selling.

 

what about google checkout? people using it seems to be quite satisfied

 

I am using AlertPay for one of my sites - Email support sucks. It took about a month to get a reply to one of my emails. Just keep that in mind. Other than that they seem alright.

 

why paypal sucks? i guess i missed the answer some where

 

There are new ecurrencies with good prospects like LR and PM

 

I am not sick of paypal. There is no real alternative right now.

 

You can also try alertpay.

 

for me, moneybookers is the second best.
still, my vote goes to paypal since it is more used

 

You missed the answer because nobody said that paypal sucks

Although there are so many threads about problems with Paypal all over the internet and not just because users are doing bad things with their account

Anyway, the subject here is the article on CNN and the alternatives to Paypal but not Paypal itself!

 

Have you tried xoom . com ?

A friend told me it is a good one, but I need more info.

 

Interesting article, I have a feeling the person who wrote it didn't actually know a lot about e-commerce. Digitial River works primarily with software, there are a few exeptions for but the most part that's all they do. E-junkie is a shopping cart and payment gateway that's usually used on top of paypal, as far as I know it doesn't process transactions?

 

What crap! There's no MB, google checkout and e-gold in the list. MB is clearly a distant second to paypal at the moment.

 

yeah good alternatives, but i have one question. I thought that alertpay scammed most of their clients, so can you still thrust them?

 

You said "thought"... ugh

 

I think google checkout is the only one of those that could qualify. Aren't mb and e-gold more western-union style services than consumer payment processing?

 

To be honest there isn't a PayPal alternative. PayPal will always be at the top, no doubt.

 

Hey thanks for this! I have been looking an alternative to paypal.
Do you know if any of these allow 3rd party transactions?

 

PayPal for me they are the biggest and the best on the web why is that? Because they are so god damn good
