What do you think is better for people from canada?

Paypal has bad rep, keeps blocking ppl's accounts and limiting them.

Should I get moneybookers?

    Tcodm, in a fair view with PayPal, they do not limit anybody else's account for no justifiable reasons at all. Content Writing 360° stays loyal to PayPal.

      I must say it is not true, that paypal don't limit account without reason, paypal limit my accout for nothing. I never did anything agains their rules and they did block me because of one saler who just bought my product to complain, and they just block me not even telling me why! But I don't know if moneybookers is any better? I've never used it.

      Thanks

    I think Paypal is better in this case, I heard some rumors about Moneybookers in Canada and they made me think it's not a good option.

    If you don't use PayPal then your conversion rate will be low!
    You can use the 2checkout which also accepts the payments from PayPal!

    Paypal is far away from good company reputation.. Keep limited many people accounts, Freeze accounts when they think they suspicious about transactions.. My advice is stay away from paypal although almost everyone in the world using it..

      This is so true. Unfortunately Paypal have a global monopoly in this are which i think is wrong. They limited my account on the pretext of not liking one of my domain names!

      It seems they can do what they like when they like.

    I also say PayPal is better when you are asking people to pay for something. Not many people have a MoneyBookers account and you might lost some clients if you don't provide them another method to pay.

    We can start promoting to peoples to use another online financial institution instead of paypal if we think paypal is dangerous for our money or transaction.

    Moneybookers was a great alternative until they got bought out by Skrill. Now they are just as bad if not worse than PayPal in terms of them intervening with your business.

        The verification processes they request you go through are very buggy and they will limit your account if there is even 1 baseless complaint until you explain the situation to them.

    I use paypal, never used moneybookers before. All I know that most people either uses paypal for their businesses or just prefer buying and making transaction thru paypal. I guess paypal is just more common than moneybookers..

    I still vote for Paypal. Just look at your buyers, do they have Paypal account or Moneybookers account?

    If the majority of your buyers are still using Paypal, that means you still need to use Paypal as the payment processor. No matter how great your product is, how convincing the sales page is, if the buyers can not pay for the product, all of your effort will be wasted.

    Also, just see Best-selling WSO Vendors on this forum. They still use Paypal and they still generate hundreds of thousands dollar to their paypal account.

    If you are afraid being banned/ blocked by Paypal, you could read a WSO about it. There is an old WSO that teach you how to play save with Paypal.

    Fortunately I didn't have this kind of experience with paypal so far, so I would say paypal is better. But moneybookers are good too, at least they quick and responsive.
