paypal is decent but good luck getting your money back if you get ripped off from someone who you pay via paypal
2-3% is not bad at all this is right in line with what you would expect to pay if you got a merchant account and accepted visa/mastercards directly (aka there discount fee)
You are perfectly right. I saw lots of people complaining about this issue and paypal still does nothing about this. The fact that they are older in this business makes them behave like that, but IMHO they will regret this because companies like 2co, ikobo or MB come strong from behind and sooner than we expect we may have an entirely different top online payment companies list.

Re: PayPal? - vs. other online escrow services

Hello! It would be interesting to know which of the companies listed in this thread is making the improvements of it’s service. It seems naturally to me that a starting up company can’t provide service comparable with one that older companies offer. So, I would prefer a growing company constantly making improvements and implementing new features.

I am one of those people Michelle. :cry:
I joined ikobo at their beginnnings and I don't think that I made a mistake. They fought for their share of the market and now I have a lot more customers than I had last year. Also, another alternative to paypal would be worldpay but your business must be a big one because they are very expensive.

Re: PayPal? - vs. other online escrow services

Hello, Alan. Will you tell me why did you decide to stop with ikobo? Did you try any services before joining ikobo? Actually I wanted to stop with PayPal but it’s country coverage is really too small. That is why I chose ikobo as an alternative with its low fees and rather wide country coverage.

Re: PayPal? - vs. other online escrow services

Yeh & Greenzap seems to be a scam from what my VA read.

I found one that's going to launch soon & you can pay worldwide w/ high risk accts. too.

If anyone wants me to let them know when, just PM me.

Thanks

Re: PayPal? - vs. other online escrow services

I've been using www.StormPay.com for over 2 years without any problems. Fees are a little high but I just build the fees into my prices like you'd do with any expense. StormPay seems to accept more of the higher risk stuff so I suppose their fees are probably based on that.

I sell digital products/downloads and StormPay is great because they are available to more countries than PayPal. Support is better too. If I contact them I usually get a reply same day.

Re: PayPal? - vs. other online escrow services

I was going to go with Storm Pay at one point, but then there was a problem & I can't remember what it is now. Oh now I remember. I needed it to pay people overseas & there was no way my web designer was going to pay $25 just to accept $85. LOL, so I don't go w/ them in the end.

They also have a bad rap from others.

I'm glad you have been doing well with it though

Re: PayPal? - vs. other online escrow services

What happened to that post about paystat? Was it deleted?

It looks like a shopping mall, not a alternative payment source.

Am I mistaken?

Thanks
