PayPal Alternative

alias86 · 30 Jul 2013 at 11:53

Been selling my old stuff on eBay!
Mainly old old PC stuff eg ********
I ve had afew potential customers say they use other services than Paypal and as they either pay less fees and or hit limits on paypal account.

I ve found https://www.pppay.com/. But i was wondering what every else is useing?

Bank transfer with someone you trust. eg. OcUK MM/AVF

Unless you like being ripped off use Paypal or cash on collection. If you take any other means of payment, you waive seller protection (not that you need it with cash on collection tbh)

I've had people who didn't want to use paypal do wierd stuff instead before like buy me time codes for whatever MMO I'm playing.

Bank transfer > paypal

yeah this just some on ebay. I think i need afew more posts to get in the members market.

my boss has it, always buying and selling or swaping bits.

paypal has limits you can buy or sell in a year. According to this guy and i don't want to give my account details out if i can help it

- good point about buyers protection, but as i'm the seller should be ok. its an old motherboard

Bank Transfer
Paypal

If you stated on the auction that you only accept paypal - only accept paypal. There's no point in putting all of your profit at risk to save a tiny fraction of it.

Postal order is also safe.

Western Union

I've tried Paypal alternatives in the past, they all lacked one thing that Paypal got right from the start. Convenience.

Cash on collection

Those fees are almost identical to Paypal's.

I thought ebay forced you to use PayPal these days?

bank transfers are risky especially if one buys something from gumtree and pay through bank transfer if one does not receive the item then they would be at an disadvantage. paypal would be ideal for their protection policy.

Yeah this. Google Checkout was an option years ago. However, eBay now owns Paypal and subsequently banned Google as a payment method to create more of a monopoly for themselves.

Google Wallet?

Big name so I would think trust issues wouldn't be to much of a problem.

He probably needs to confirm his account. https://www.paypal.com/helpscr?cmd=...lutionTab&ps=solutionPanels&solutionId=163435
