Wonder why you said so? I like to know the down side apart from the fact that paypal have quite a bad reputation of chargeback.

Chargebacks. Freezing accounts. Taking months to get accounts reinstated. Terrible customer service. But, then again, I'm a PayPal user because it's quick and easy.

What is PayPal Pro?

It's an upgraded Paypal Service that works more like a true merchant account and gateway (but not quite as good). Customers can pay through your website like you were using a gateway. The costs are the same as an average merchant account.

Pay Pal also doesn't listen to a word you have to say about your case even if you have proof the customer committed fraud etc.

They even allowed a customer of mine to reverse the charge & then reverse the reversal & then months later reverse again claiming they never authorized the transaction when clearly all the while the customer knew exactly what they were doing.

This was on a so called "authorized" account & I trusted PP to do their job & screen people who had such an acct.

Even with a clean account & near perfect record, they treated me like I was a criminal & just took the customer's word no questions asked.

I will never use them again.

I'm now using

http://www.alertpay.com/?BDU2NzID

Not 100% up to snuff on all the things PP offers, but getting there.

It's not that easy to set up a PP type service.

They also allow for adult or high risk accounts which which won't allow customers to commit fraud & do chargebacks even after receiving the product/service you are selling.

You pay more, but they protect you.

Thanks

I'm using Nochex whenever possible. But this is not available to users outside the UK. It's a much better service than PP, no chargeback, and lower fees.
