Default PayPal Alternatives


I was thinking about PayPal alternatives, but I couldn't come up with any. Is it true that there are just no PayPal alternatives out there? The only one I was really able to find, and it looks small, is Paynova.

After writing this post, I noticed a new company called Paytox. However, their domain was only registered on July 16, 2005, so they're rather new. Their website looks professional, though, so we all may want to keep our eye on them and see how they progress.

I don't think there are any good alternatives to PayPal, so I signed up with them.

I know several people who have used Stormpay and e-Gold. I've never tried them personally, so I can't vouch for how reliable they are.

The only alternatives to PayPal that I know were also mentioned by KSmith: Stormpay and eGold. To be honest, though, I've never used either, so don't take my word for whether or not they're any good.

I'd be interested to see PayPal have a good competitor, though.

I saw this in the Skymall magazine this past week, not really an alternative though:

PayPad

Why would you want to find a PayPal alternative, I know they have had their problems but since being taken over by eBay they are very good in my opinion. Also they are accepted and recognised by most people.

I wouldnt feel comfortable using an unheard of company that could turn out to be dodgy, chances are neither would your customers.

You can read some of my reasons why I dislike PayPal here. I don't think PayPal is all bad, but that they have a lot of problems that they're simply ignoring. I just want there to be some alternatives, which will drive PayPal to better themselves. My ultimate goal is not to find an alternative to PayPal, but to make PayPal better.

I only know of Stormpay and eGold. I wouldn't use either, though. I've heard that they both are not as good as PayPal.
