    Why post this in boards that don't entirely seem appropriate?

    Anyway here is my response from your other thread:

    Where did you 'hear' it was down? It is working perfectly OK as i type this as I'm checking some received payments and making a single payment myself.

    Also when are you suggesting an alternative might be appropriate, I certainly wouldn't use most of the others as there is no full buyer protection. For me i pay either by credit card or by paypal, I would walk away from any company that did not take either of them.

    I dont get it. Of course there are alternatives, Paypal is one way. Nochex are just as good, but fees are different for sellers. Paypal isnt "down" I'm receiving payments from my business right now?!

  • Paypal down or not and cheap/ expenisve alternatives or not, I think it's time to give the alternatives a go too.:) The most popular are Moneybookers, Nochex and Googlecheckout. There's also ebid's PPPay.
