PayPal Alternative ?

Hi All

Is there an alternative to using PayPal with an Ebay account.

For the last 2 months I have got e-mails from PayPal saying that my bank account was closed! (news to me), anyway added back in the account details and a few weeks later the same thing.

Now im fed-up with PayPal having spent a 10 minute telephone call with them and the problem still not sorted out.

So just want to know if there is any alternative to PayPal that other people use?

  • It sounds like these emails are in fact spoof emails.

  • How about trying NoChex? Or alternatively bank transfer which is safe.
