Clarification of Question by nickmehdizadeh-ga on 05 Mar 2004 00:32 PST

Do you know how Paypal works? If you do, then I would want an
alternate service provider like paypal.

Dear Nick Mehdizadeh, 

There are several alternatives to PayPal that work on the same principles. 

The site PayPalWarning, which is critical of PayPal, lists several
services, which offer the same services as PayPal:

Paypal Warning - Alternatives to Paypal

PayPalSucks is another site thatis critical against PayPal and offers
alternatives. It also explaines how these alternatives work and if
they worth anything:
NoPayPal Options page!

Here are several discussions on the topic in Webmaster's World:

alternatives to paypal, have my own?

You could also see previous answers in Google Answers for the same question:

I hope this information helps! My search terms: alternative, paypal.

Perhaps a more detailed description of the service you're envisioning
might produce a clearer answer.  Frankly, I'm not precisely clear what
you mean.

I'd be surprised if you could find such a service.  E-mail is
considered an unsecure form of communication.  The information is not
encrypted and can theoretically be intercepted.  Given that, sensitive
and confidential information, such as a checking account number,
should not be used in an e-mail for security reasons.

My 2 cents.

The only reason I know to not use PayPal is when someone doesn't have
a credit card. There are a few other choices out there such as
stormpay and e-gold, that do the same job. The only problem is a lot
of these "online banks", are bad business and I wouldn't deal with
them. If you do find some make sure you go to www.bbb.org to take a
look at them. The only other online payment system I would take is
e-gold. www.e-gold.com they don't need a credit card.

dear Nick, 

Thank you for the rating and the tip!
