Are there any other online sites like paypal that operate about the same way? I am a paypal user, but some are not because there is only that one option.

There are some payment processors like PayPal. Some of the processors are Alert pay and E-gold. However none of the processors can be like PayPal. PayPal is the best processor you could ever get.

I have visited a few others, but so far Paypal is the best and the only one I really trust.

Alertpay and Egold are some of the payment processors that work like paypal. But paypal is more convenient and safe. Plus, many users are using it since it is reliable and your money is processed without delays.

For me Paypal is simply the best. I wouldn't settle for anything else.

I have been using paypal for quite a while and haven't been encountering problems with it.

A relative of mine uses Revolution Money Exchange. It's similar to Paypal and pays well for referrals. It appears to be legit, but I like to stay with a good thing. There's also others such as TrialPay, XOOM, and OBOPay.

I would not recommend any online payment processor than Paypal because I have had problems with all of them except Paypal.

I like paypal a lot, but there is a creditcard issue, often you can't transfer money to other people from you creditcard, that is not at problem with fx moneybrokers

Pay Pal simmply cant be topped. The only thing I wish they did do fasater was transfer money from support accounts to the card.
The other sinmply dont havethe experience that paypal has. I use them for my e commerce for years.

i agree paypal is best !! i also use alert pay but it doesnt match up to PP

There are several such as E-Gold and Firepay. However, they lack the size and scope of paypal and their customer service generally lacks.

See there are certainly quite a few web sites like Paypal, but you would go for the particular one which is
o Widely Accepted
o Easy to use
o Doesn't Charge Too Much transaction fees
o Is fast in terms of money delivering, in case you need it in your bank account.

Considering all those factors, AlertPay is one website that apparently charges lesser transaction fees than Paypal (have no idea on the latest charges, could be different), but for the rest factors, Paypal wins Hands Down.

In case you need to use some other website for some specific reason, you can use:

* AlertPay: Ranks 6,948, which is up nearly double from February 2008. Our top choice for the most viable alternative to eBay -- a secure and fast way to pay online.

* Moneybookers: Ranks 4,739. With high ranking and 2,050+
organizations linking to it, so moneybookers.com must be popular!

* RevolutionMoneyExchange: Long name, but a nice interface, and excellent viral marketing program. They give you $25 to open an account and $10 for each person you refer (up to $500). Ranks 72,666 (up from February ranking of 254,063).

* TrialPay: Ranks 4,965. This payment processing solution offers shoppers free product from blue chip companies; apparently it's notviable for small end companies to participate.

* OBOPAY: Ranks 169,025. Great user interface, marketing
themselves as the PayPal alternative. They pay you $10 to join! Not available to Virginia residents. Requires a mobile telephone number.

* E-Gold: Ranks 5,972. This one's backed by gold (or silver, platinum or palladium)! Best of all, payment is immediate and there are no chargebacks - you get paid and stay paid!

* PayMate: Ranks 918,688. Clever name for Australian site (works for New Zealanders, too.)

* Allpay Ranks 1,512,487. It's the U.K.'s only payment solution that's also used throughout Europe as well as the United States.

* XOOM: Ranks 25,480. This money transfer service accepts funds from major credit cards, your bank account or PayPal. Can't figure out why anyone would use PayPal to fund a XOOM money transfer.

* Interac: Ranks 432,349. Available only in Canada, this e-mail money transfer transaction is like sending cash and cannot be reversed. The only thing they protect is your financial information.

* checkfree: Ranks 238,281. Helps you pay bills online. This is merchant account, so you can use it on eBay, but it's not really a viable PayPal alternative.

* FirePay: Ranks 439,549. With virtually no user interface explaining the site, it's unwelcoming to new users.

* BidPay: Still ranks 457,897. Had a loyal following, but closed operations December 31, 2007.

Best Of Luck.

That was an interesting read. PayPal is still the king, but I know a lot of folks are darn tired of their fees and the collusion with eBay (eBay owns them now). I wish there was an alternative of worth, but there really isn't. Citibank used to have a program that I loved.
