Paypal Alternatives?

[clarise]

Most online transactions use Paypal. But Paypal is only offered in a few countries, 35 or so. And in even in those countries, there are some whose transactions are limited to either funding or withdrawing money in the account.

In the internet business, of course this becomes important. Especially if the other company/individual you are transacting with only accepts Paypal. What about alternatives to Paypal?

The only alternative that i know off, with exception to full merchant accounts is, nochex.com
http://pppay.com/

Their is more out their but for the reach of ppl it really depends on your country and market. ie if ebay trading paypal is pushed so much offering alternative is pretty use less especially in the uk market from personal experience.

Are three you might want to check out. I've heard really good things about neteller, but I haven't signed up there yet. So far, I'm happy with paypal.

I find E-gold to be a good alternative to offer as well as paypal to customers. Stompay and xoom are pretty good too.

Still I'm happy with paypal because most of the time I dont deal with people from countries not supported.

^I guess there are no paypal alternatives that dont have a age-limit, are there? Oh wel.. I'll make a PP then

I didn't even realize they have age limits! Thank you for the suggestions. I checked them out. Xoom and Neteller looks like something I can use. The sender will be the one to create the account, if I'm not mistaken.

Anything but Stormpay. I've been reading a lot of websites about Stormpay lately, and they're not pretty. Their record seems to be really dirty, and to date people still wonder why they're still in operation.

For alternatives I'd rather use Xoom or maybe Ikobo. Uniclear is also goo,d but in the past months they had a lot of problems, creating a HUGE backlog of debit card deposits. I don't know if they got that sorted out at all.

E-Gold is also good, but don't expect much customer support from them. If your E-Gold gets hacked and your money gets stolen, the best they'll do is block the certain user's E-Gold account. That's about it.

I'd be surprised if there was an online transaction service accepted in more countries than Paypal...
