Hello Everyone,

I have a dilemma, and it is with paypal. This company has link my bank account with someone else account and now my clients can't pay via the net. This is the second time this has happen. I am now looking for a company with the same components as paypal. Anyone know of such a company, please let me know.

Phyllis, I only ever work with Paypal and have yet to see an alternate option that appeals to me - and I'm not sure I fully understand your question here exactly - can you clarify a bit please?

If you have access to your Paypal account then *you* have control over which bank account your Paypal account is set up with - and you can go in and edit this at any time. Paypal has really decent customer service via telephone, I'd suggest giving them a call if there's something you can't access in your own account. Also, your client can pay into ANY email account via Paypal, whether it's linked to a bank account or not - then you just go in to collect it and send it to the correct bank account.

Paypal had linked my bank account with someone it's paypal account. I don't how it happen, but it did. Together with paypal we clarified the issue in October. One of my clients paid me thru paypal, I went into my account to transfer the monies and the monies wasn't there. I have called paypal and explained the situation they're looking into it. I am just looking for alternative means at this point.

Wow, what a mess - sorry I don't have any experience with an alternate system similar to Payal, I'm sure someone who does will jump in here with suggestions though!

You can look at Google Checkout and others are listed in this section with thread titles like "alternative to PayPal"

While it's not an "exact" alternative, why not check out 2checkout.com? There is a one time set up fee ($49/US), the fees are a tad higher than PayPal, but it can be an alternative to PayPal (as far as accepting online payments) for you.

I too have been searching for quite some time for an alternative to PayPal, but there really isn't a service out there that has the features that PP provides for the money.

Her business coach referred her to them. I will also do my research and inquiries before I make my decision. Thank you all for your quick response.

If you plan on putting it on your website so your clients can put through payment then I recommend: http://1shoppingcart.com/ It has great reviews. Internet Marketing Guru's use this one alot. I haven't heard anything bad about them yet. Anyone had any bad experience with them? I am debating who to use also.
