PayPal similar services

[Ne'tu]

Hello!

Are you aware of a PayPal similar service?

I would really like to know at least one or two good alternatives to PayPal and some input using it.

There are a load of similar services but good services are rare.

Egold is about the best alternative though if your account password gets stolen you loose the gold in your account and there is basically nothing you can do. Of course provided you don't do stupid things like using internet explorer or warez from untrustworthy sources the risk is password theft low.

There is also nochex and ikobo.

Whats wrong with paypal ?

Surely the idea is to have a universally used program to make it easy for as many people as possible to use the service. If there are not many users, the the program is not much use !

PayPal doesn't work yet in my country... :pinch:

Nochex is only for UK users and Egold is... complicated.

Still searching and trying.

Well what country are you from?

There's google checkout, but I'm not sure if it works in your country.

From what I can tell, it currently works in: US, Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, and Taiwan.

Paypal hurts when you realize they take a cut out of everything you receive. I understand they need to take something, but it just feels like I'm being robbed of my eBay earnings.
