What's wrong with AlertPay? They seem like a pretty honest business and I've never had any trouble with them, though I've only ever bought things, not sold them.
- swombat 16y agoAlertPay is often used by MLM sites. I'm surprised they're still running, considering how much fraud those sites have, actually. Other than that, it's a pretty solid service.

- jacquesm 16y agohttp://www.google.com/search?q=alertpay+fraud http://www.google.com/search?q=alertpay+fraud Nothing wrong with alertpay per-se that I'm aware of but fraud is rampant there. This is to be taken with a grain of salt, but a search for 'paypal fraud' turns up 2 million results, about twice as much as alertpay, and given the relative size of the companies that's worrisome.
- olegkikin 16y agoPaypal charges 2.9% + 30c AlertPay charges 4.90% + 25c WePay charges 3.5% (50c minimum) (for credit card processing)
- cosmicray 16y agoPayPal also has a micropayments feature: 5.0% + 5c The dividing line (between the traditional macropayment and the micropayment) is supposed to be $12. The only drawback is that you have to run it from a different PayPal account. For a $2 transaction, the macro works out to 30.058c fee, while the micro is 15c fee. For small stuff, it may be a better deal.
