Online Payment Systems: PAYPAL, alternatives?


I currently have a paypal account, and I could also sign up for another service called Hyperwallet at my bank (credit union). It is difficult to get a credit card now for some reason

I know some people don't like paypal at all, but I haven't had any problems with it myself.

I am curious to see what kinds of online payment systems other people are using, like in Europe.



Evetually, I like like to see more community sites (such as morphzone) to include bounties and shareware registration. Need to find a system or a group of systems that we can use to benefit all the members around the world, pegasos resellers, and authors of software.

Western Union?

Western Union..

To transfer $1 Canadian to anywhere in the USA, there is a minimum $27 surcharge!

Definately not something you would use for a donation system, bounties or shareware registry! However I'm sure for Large cash amounts it is key.

I prefer transferring money from one real
account to another ... there is no "cheap"
online service available for the whole world
anyway ...

Yeah, 2nd biggest in the UK is nochex, and nearly nobody uses that!

Ebay must be raking it in with Paypal.

I thought Western Union had an online thingy like PayPal.

I guess Credit cards is the faster and most spread system to pay up (other than cash).

Perhaps www.kagi.com or www.regnow.com ?

Personnaly, I use only Paypal... but any infos about Paypal alternatives are welcome !
