Paypal Alternatives

As an avid ebay user, paypal is something that I cannot live without. However, the time has come where they will not let me make a free transaction without suspending my account for weeks at a time. The reason being that I purchase a lot of Roman artifacts from the Netherlands and the Balkins. Paypal sees these as risky transactions even though they are ones that I make every week or so. I would like to know if anybody has come across any alternatives to PayPal that still have the usability of PayPal. I recently went to the site www.paypalsucks.com, however they seemes to have comercialized as the only alternatives that they offer is for merchant credit card processing, which I have no need for. I look forward to your responses.

Why don't you try these:

• StormPay - http://www.stormpay.com - very similar to paypal
• eGold - http://www.egold.com

I have accounts at both - but so far haven't put them to use. So I won't be able to provide you with a review. Maybe someone else, who's used these can give you one.

Well..I have been using STormpay and it is really nice service and i started stormpay because their network is very much bigger than PayPal...I mean paypals only accepts members from some specific countries if you are not from those short listed countries you are not able to open account or take money from them but i think storm pay is good in that case...but ofcourse people know more about paypal..storm pay is not very famous

I wasn't even aware that PayPal did such things if they thought you were doing some sort of 'risky' business with eBay. I just recently started using eBay (only bought two things so far) and think that I'll be using it a lot more in the future. Perhaps I should open up accounts at the other places that were mentioned. Do you know if you can transfer money between places?

That "StormPay" looks absolutely brilliant!!! I might think about using it when I finally get things to sell over the web... but you don't have to put ads on your site or something, though? And is it only US currency? 'Cos I live in the UK.

PayPal definitely is the best option, because it is so wide-spread. I know of no other e-banking service that would offer you what PayPal can. Unfortunately, not only does PayPal have something against "risky transactions" (your problem), but it also isn't available everywhere in the world (my problem).

That is why I use MoneyBookers - they support more countries than PayPal, and I also think you can deposit money into a real bank account wherever you are. I find this a great advantage over PayPal, but only if you receive money from other people. If you are thinking of using it for online shopping, give up. It is not impossible, but it is difficult to find sites that support MoneyBookers.

Just to let people know that StormPay is not an online payment site. They are very much like ebay. It is an online auction site not a payment site-reply by stepmich
