What is your preferred payment processor for receiving online payments?

Hmmm ... you've given a choice between only three, and one of those is almost defunct? http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post5580761

You're effectively asking people if they prefer PayPal to 2Checkout ... (not that that's an invalid question, of course). I "prefer" PayPal but have no experience of 2Checkout as a vendor, so it's not a very fair answer, possibly ...

I wasn't aware AlertPay were defunct in the US. Being from the UK it doesn't affect me but yes, with that in mind there's effectively only 2 options. Sorry XD

I use paypal for everything, but with all the terrible stories I've been hearing about them lately, I'm starting to feel trepidation. Has anyone used Alertpay before? If so, how are they?

What about Plimus? This is another popular PayPal alternative.

Although, PayPal is the choice to me, but only because I like getting paid.

If I didn't like getting paid I would probably use one of the other ones that the majority of the general public haven't heard of.

I used them all but the best one is PayPal without any doubt.

PayPal is one of the largest online payment processors in the world. After rising to prominence through its partnership with Ebay, online merchants all across the Internet accept PayPal as one of their accepted methods of payments.

Those who have never used PayPal may wonder why so many people use it as their only way to pay for online purchases. After you review the following seven advantages to using PayPal to buy online, you will likely want to start using PayPal yourself.

1. Credit card security: When you sign up for a PayPal account, you type in the credit cards and bank accounts you wish to use for purchases one time on the PayPal secure system. Once that is accomplished, you never again have to disclose your credit card information online. By paying with PayPal, you keep your credit card information private, meaning that you can shop without worrying about a hacker downloading your account data from your online merchant.

2. Flexibility: Relieve yourself of the embarrassment and hassle of trying to purchase goods and services online only to have your credit card declined. Because you can set up multiple bank accounts, debit cards, and credit cards to fund your PayPal account, you can rest assured that your PayPal purchases always go through the first time. PayPal will then look for funds from your sources based on the order you define.

3. Send money: Whether you need to send money to a child at college or a friend in trouble across the globe, PayPal users can instantly transfer money to them with just a click of the mouse. Save time and money over costly Western Union style transfers while getting money to where you wish to send it faster than ever.

4. The iPhone App: The PayPal iPhone application makes it easy to shop online and transfer money wherever you are. All you have to do is visit the Apple iTunes store and search for the PayPal app and you will be ready to transfer, send money, pay bills, review your transaction history, and make purchases right from the palm of your hand. Because PayPal will ask you to confirm transactions with a PIN, you can rest assured that your finances are safe should your iPhone be lost or stolen. If you meet someone you need to pay while out on the town, just bump iPhones and make your transfer.

5. Online Auctions: How could anyone talk about PayPal without mentioning eBay? Because PayPal is integrated with the online auction powerhouse, you can place bids and make purchases safely. Buyer protection and a structured complaint resolution process means that eBay bidders have more protection than most credit card holders when it comes to one of the most popular online shopping sites.

6. Cost: One of the best reasons for using PayPal is its cost: free. That’s right. No annual membership fees, no processing fees, no service charges. Shoppers using PayPal get all the powerful advantages associated with the service and do not have to pay one dime.

7. Discounts: PayPal sponsors special discounts for customers that shop with PayPal at selected retailers. Users who visit www.paypal-shopping.com can find the latest special offers from companies like HP, Barnes & Noble, Wal-Mart, Nike, and more. The bottom line is that PayPal can save you money on the things you need at the places where you shop. To take advantage of the savings all you have to do is copy the special promo code from the PayPal shopping Web page and paste it into your order at your merchant’s site when you pay with PayPal.

These seven advantages to using PayPal to buy online are enough to make you want to give PayPal a try. If you have never opened a PayPal account, go ahead and create one today. If you have only used PayPal at eBay, the time is now to see the whole world of opportunity that PayPal opens up for you.

I hope this help you in somehow

I use paypal only because of it's popularity. The only problem with paypal is that their support is almost non-existent.

PayPal...Hands down!

Interestingly enough, I was having dinner with my brother who is an active eBay seller and he told me that not only has it become harder to sell successfully on eBay but when it comes to disputes (which happen frequently with physical products), PayPal is so anti-seller that he hates PayPal with a passion!

I keep telling him to jump to Amazon...*sigh* Maybe one day!

I like alertpay, I use paypal the most because its the most widely accepted form of payment... I really hate paypal at times though especially when they side with the scammer and freeze your account .. but thats only in extreme cases. Generally I find that paypal is quite acceptable.
