Does anybody know of services like paypal that give a referal bonus? I tried to get some people to sign up for paypal the other day, they now have to register a bank account AND transfer $100 to their paypal account.

Though this seemed like a good idea when it started, I feel this is now a very bad idea. A scam company like Paymentalt suckered lots of folks into signing up with their promise of a referral. A lousy company like Exchangepath also used referral money to hook victims. And despite all the horror stories, I think a lot of sellers are still pushing Paypal in the hope of collecting their $5 share from the victim. The joke is on them because PP has made it almost impossible to ever see that $5. I think folks should join the best services, not the ones that pay for victims. I think folks should recommend the best services, not the ones that pay them for their endorsement.
Here is my ratings of payment services:
