Alternatives to PayPal

[domainsusi]

I have had a Paypal business account for a number of ears and find the need to have a personal account mainly for purchases.

I understand that you can have both with Paypal. However, I am thinking of alternatives.

Has anyone had any good/bad experiences with any of the following:


Moneybookers
AlertPay
GoogleCheckout


Response appreciated.

Thanks

I am using moneybookers, never had any problems.

Moneybookers seems to be pretty famous these days

Best combination that works for me is:

Moneybookers for selling (receiving payment)
Paypal for Buying (sending money)

when in doubt.

MB has been ok - Plus is no chargebacks. Only issue is if a large sum of $ you can only take out in small chunks (or at least it was that way).

MB has been reliable for me.

E-gold, because this payment so popular in my country.

You can't cash-out though. It's insane.

I'am not worry about that, i run a e-gold changer on my country :lol:

I've been very pleased with Moneybookers. I only wish it was the standard on the net, but sadly it's not.

MB is good
e-gold was great now it's really hard to cash-out

Been using Moneybookers for more than 5 years and its all ok.

MoneyBookers is great, I quitted using PayPal once I discovered MoneyBookers.

It has also the cheapest escrow service.

MoneyBookers all the way. It is 100 times better than PP in my opinion. Especially for domain name transactions where PayPal will not protect sellers of non tangible goods (domain names). MoneyBookers fees are great and they have a dispute process that protects both buyers & sellers. If you're still unsure with a buyer/seller you can use theire escrow service which is extremely cheap.

I haven't looked back since opening my MB account and only wish more people accepted it over PayPal

I agree David, I think that will happen with time and if more sellers do no longer accept PayPal this process will happen faster.

i agree....moneybookers is better

Moneybookers rocks! No chargebacks + domain name escrow service for a very low fee!

Paypal does not recognize "digital products" i.e. domain names! That's absurd for a dot com business...

I use Moneybookers as well. Been having probs with uploading funds through my debit card though, it used to be automated but now they take a few days. Apart from that, it's awesome.

It seems that one is the only problem but if you get organised you can fund your account in advance and leave some cash in it like I do.

In my opinion, this is worth it because if we all use MB we`ll have a scam free trading environment.

I'll have to look into Moneybookers.. do they also offer a debit/credit card? I use my Paypal card all the time!

Anyone use Ikobo?
