paypal alternatives?, by morrissey1 on Apr 10, 2008 5:09:11 GMT 1, Im just finishing off setting up my new website, and I need a payment system on the site....but I won't go near Paypal (the devils that they are)
Does anyone have any other similar businesses like Paypal they can recommend? I live in Canada, so that comes into play...like I can't use Google Checkout because they dont have it in Canada yet.
Any ideas?
How annoyed would you be by the idea of art that is sold and can be paid only by money order? would this work or bother people. Seems easiest way....whats your opinion

paypal alternatives?, by Heavyconsumer on Apr 10, 2008 17:51:56 GMT 1, well I was gonna suggest googlecheckout until getting to that part of your post! I have no idea how international money orders work, but I doubt they're very convenient for buyers and although I use wire transfers a lot I think using that method to pay anything less than say ยฃ300 is very ineffective cost-wise. I'm sorry to be negative, but I personally am not sure what to suggest! You could take a look at Neteller, Click2pay and other e-wallet services, but they're really extras for prople that happen to use them, rather than primary processors.
If you feel that your turnover from the site will be significant and consistent then you have all the usual CC processors to turn to, such as Worldpay, Protx etc, but there are fees involved making it expensive for the ocassional user, but very good for a successful business. Good luck. I'm curious to see what options you come up with, please post on here if you find something good!
BTW I fvcking despise paypal too. Most useless, inept bunch of bastards ever. If Ebay didn't spoon-feed it's baby I can't imagine they'd be a market leader, this must surely be a monopoly o sorts!?!? I didn't think that was allowed. I hope more competitors pop up soon.
