Moneybookers or alertpay?

3 replies
Can anyone recommend either of these or any other alternative to paypal?

After trying to reason with paypal they still refuse to lift the limitations on my account and have basically told me that they find it best if we 'part ways'.

So now I'm looking for an alternative to paypal and preferably one that I can use with Ebay.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

    If you are going the route of a Paypal type alternative I would go with Alertpay. I have used it a decent amount and had no trouble with it. The biggest hurde with any of the Paypal type alternative is the fact that most people don't have an account and it is a pain to sign up and fund an account.

    With Alertpay they now allow people to directly pay with credit card and not have to fund an account, they just have to sign up and use their credit card.

    Nothing is going to be easy with Ebay because Ebay and Paypal are tied and that is what they want to be used. I am not sure on the time frame, but I have heard soon Ebay will only allow paypal for payment period. No more checks or money orders even at all. That may hurt what you are going for as well, but it is not in affect yet at least.

    Like I said, I have not used Moneybookers, but I have had no trouble with Alertpay and been pleased when I have used it.

    i'm an alert pay fan over all. i've not used money bookers, and from what i understand its best if you are in the gaming industry as many of the casino's and poker rooms use it... but that's just my personal understanding. `

    Thanks Chad and Catrina

    I think I might give alertpay a go and see how I go.
