Sick of paypal ? CNN.com recommends 5 alternatives!

I ran through this article and I think paypal competitors should get the chance and paypal takes a break

With all the hassle assigned with paypal payments and the charge backs you can get specially that most of our (webmasters) transactions are for sites/domains/content which are not tangible goods and risk of charge backs are high.

While I personally recommend Moneybookers.com as paypal alternative but CNN.com has an article that gives 5 paypal alternatives which don't include Moneybookers (maybe because MB is UK based).

Details in the article

I have been using paypal from last 2 years without any problem.

 

nice article
strange no moneybookers or escrow.

 

Yep no Moneybookers tats strange , anyways I am not one of those whos sick of paypal, never had any problems with paypal,

 

i too love paypal. i never had problem.

 

Same here, I love PP as well

 

For those saying never had a problem. Maybe you should start selling softwares to see how software pirates will deal with you and how paypal will support them.

PS: Escrow is not a payment processor. they are just a middle man

 

An alternative to paypal is really a necessity now given the hassles associated with the verification and the commission one has to chuck out when transferring money from credit card to paypal in the case of unverified customers. No one should be allowed to become a monopoly in a particular field and if done, the service becomes poorer and you will become a beggar before the mighty. Competition is actually good in the interest of customers

 

thanx for sharing the info but paypal being used widely

 

Surprised to see AlertPay in the list, never knew it could be a good PayPal alternative

 

yep only alertpay as lesser fee compared to paypal infact no fixed component!

 

I personally use moneybookers and I don't like paypal because of charge back risks(I have experienced some problems in the past) . I also support alertpay !

 

Thats great.. but I was expecting atleast Escrow there.

 

Since 2Checkout decided to accept PayPal next to credit cards I'm seriously thinking of abandoning PayPal for good.

 

I agree with the previous posters about Moneybookers , its a payment processor everyone should work with

 

Not all country can used MB.

 

Whats the problem with paypal? I think its just fine.

 

I like paypal but their exchange rate is quite low

 

Same here.

Anyways, nice article without a doubt.
