The PayPal Alternatives - there aren't many, PLEASE HELP

    I use PayPal, I am not banned but I have had one account closed and my account also got locked at moneybookers.com with absoutely no explanation!!!

    Hard to belive in this day and age, these companies describe themselves as "the best" and offering "great service and support"

    Nothing of the kind. Very bad experince with both companies, I called them in London, the dude that I talked with could barely speak English.

    I signed up with iverified.com and submitted ID and Bank Statement two weeks ago - still no approval. I fear it's a scam site.

    I feel awful, I badly need an alternative to PayPal.

    Problem is there are no alternatives to PayPal.

    Please advise.

    There really arent any alternatives and you are right the customer service at PayPal is terrible. You have search the web for their phone number they dont even have it on their website. Then once you get through to them they barely speak English you are right and they aren't allowed to do shit without their managers approval. I bet their customer service is based somewhere out in the Indian countryside and the funny things is that they say their name is something like Kevin, Justin and Adam.

    Really great way to start off your conversation with a LIE lol. Sorry man but there really isnt any alternative that is accepted so widely like PayPal.

    I think AlertPay would be fine. It's trying its best to compete with PayPal and is providing nice service.

    You can try Plimus and 2Checkout as they accept Paypal payments.

    Couldn´t you ask your brother / sister / mother / father to open an account in any of the gateways and then manage it as if it were yours?

    Could the fact that you had been banned by some payment processor(s) before be the problem? I don't know if they can/do exchange information about customers who were banned, but it could be the case?! If you have to accept PayPal payments, others have already mentioned 2CO and Plimus.

    You could always try a payment processor like Liberty Reserve or Perfect Money. Not as widely used but you won't end up getting banned.

    For you Plimus may be a good choice, you may also try 2checkout.com, they charge you only for account setup, the other fee is very nominal like other processors,2checkout offers more security and also gives you wide range of options to receive amount, if you cannot get an account you may try with your relatives or friends.

    Plimus would be your best bet. Fuck Gaypal they blocked my 4 year old accounts.
