[Bill1]

recently i have been having a lot of problem with paypal i want to know if there is any real alternative to paypal?

Nochex

bout this i accidently click wrong button

Nochex.. UK only thoe, or 2checkout.. not really used any others.

Yes paypal are terrible but until something else as large and widespread comes around we stuck with paypal otherwise a standard merchant account from your bank!

I continue to use PayPal w/ no problems at all. (I've never encountered the problems like those of visitors of paypalsucks/paypalwarning).

From what I've found, none of the competitors of PayPal are any good. iKobo is quite dominating in certain areas (such as Turkey and the Philippines) where PayPal isn't available.

And how much do they charge to get the i-Kard?

AFAIK, i-Kard is free.

I think Ikobo is a strong competitor of Paypal. Ikobo has low rate and wide coverage. It runs well not only in Turkey and Philippines but also in USA, UK and some other countries. I had ever recieved payment from USA and UK. So Paypal should be careful.:]

jeffhuang dont keep too much in egold. I know a few people that had over $1000 in their account and the account got hacked. Egold told them there was nothing they could do.

xieqiu they look good as long as you dont make small transactions. The min fee is $2....

What you said about egold is true. It is terrible. I am glad that I do not use egold.

 

[ZuraX]

Yeah some suspect e-gold itself as the "hacker" because it seems only accounts with lots of cash get taken over.

 

[d0mainguru]

I tryed i-Kard not bad.

 

[ZuraX]

I was really interested in that until I seen the min $2 fee. Most of the stuff I sell is around $5 so I would lose a lot of cash...

ZuraX
LOL. So you need to do big deal.
But according to my knowledge, the limitation of min $2 only applies to p2p money transfer service. If it is online payment, It charges 2.29%+0.22 per transaction. There is no limitation of min $2.

I want to store the information of IPN(ikobo's IPN) into my database automatically. So I need some scripts to deal with it. Is there anyone knows where can I find it? If there is no sample scripts, I have to write by myself.

stormpay.com is a good alternative

my vote goes for www.moneybookers.com, no problem till now with them. i try to use them and not paypal if possible.

 

[Sabre]

Ive been having problems due to 3rd party access into my account even though i am registered as a business so obviouly multiple people have access to the account!!!

1. Do not go with egold. Its not secure and too many scammers.

And you find another great alternative, becuase even do it may offer better features, more people use paypal

 

[xieqiu]

Their is an ikobo payment module released. It can be integrated into OSCommerce. Share it with you guys. http://forums.oscommerce.com/index.php?showtopic=111522

 

[1rrr1]

try stormpay if you are really stuck

 

[xieqiu]

OSCommerce is free and ikobo has no setup fee and monthly fees. It costs nothing to setup an e-commerce website with OSComemrce and Ikobo. So I think they are the best choices. :tu:
