THERE IS ANOTHER CHOICE!
Exchangepath.com
Right now it is free to buyers and sellers alike. Yes, they state that they reserve the right to change this. Fine. At least they tell you that upfront.
It is amazingly easy to sign up and they don't ask for your Social Security number.
They accept MORE credit cards than PayPal: Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Diners Club, American Express Charge Card, and Visa & Mastercard Debit Cards. Or you can also pay from your existing account, etc. In other words they are better than PayPal.
One of our auction winners e-mailed me only hours after I had signed up with Exchangepath.com. He asked if I could tell him how to use his credit card on PayPal and if it was secure. I gave him the following link - http://www.ygoodman.com/paypal.html and I gave him a link to Exchangepath.com and told him to take his time and research both as we would accept either. Shortly after, we received a payment notification from Exchangepath.com. Big surprise!
Folks, people don't necessarily care which service they use as long as it is secure and allows them to pay by credit card. So take a look at them and if you like what you see, make an addition to your auctions and then change your other links. We've just added this to our auctions and I'm putting into my congratulatory e-mails as well:
Due to information which has recently come to our attention, if you are considering using PayPal to pay for this auction we would like you to view the information at this site first: http://www.ygoodman.com/paypal.html
We now accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Diners Club, as well as American Express Charge Card at Exchange Path! It works like PayPal but the options are greater, we feel better about the terms, and currently there is NO CHARGE to the buyer or seller. Please check it out here: (Exchangepath.com’s logo link)

Hello Puddy
I have noted you have posted the same message regarding Exchangepath.com in several PayPal threads in the eBay Outlook. While I appreciate you have a point to make and wish to share your knowledge, posting the same message repeatedly will be considered disruptive if you continue.

All I see here is another worm on another hook. These paysites are/or will be very soon a dime a dozen. Paypal started just like this and Exchangepath will just be an instant replay of what Paypal did.
Think about it, how long do you think they will be able to maintain a FREE service ???
