This site was listed in the thread "Exactly like Bidpay" (or something to that effect.
I checked out the site and it SEEMS really good. They belong to Truste and the BBB.
They accept payments from all over the world and you can pay them with Paypal.
Has anyone used this service and if so what are your feelings about it.
I think if it's OK I'll start to use this nd tell my PayPal customers if they wish to pay that way then to go through this site and not worry about chargebacks.

Read the TOS. You STILL have to worry about chargebacks.
2.If a charge back claim is initiated, whether as a result of a dispute or for any other reason, the parties agree to provide to any requesting party on a timely basis any
and all necessary documentation to resolve any charge back or dispute. You
acknowledge that EnergyFlow does not control the outcome of the charge back
decision. If you are a seller, you agree to hold EnergyFlow harmless for any charge
back related to a payment to you or for any other loss or expense EnergyFlow incurs
as a result of the charge back. EnergyFlow retains the right to recover any funds for
any loss or expense incurred by EnergyFlow with respect to the charge back. If you
are a buyer and your charge back has not been honored, you agree that you have
no other remedies with respect to EnergyFlow and that you will not involve
EnergyFlow in any claims against a seller. Excessive disputes, charge backs,
refunds, or other abuses of the EnergyFlow system are grounds for terminating your
right to use the service.
Also, if a money order is sent to a "fraudulent seller" the buyer can have the service stop payment on the money order, minus a $5.00 fee.
So, while it may be a nice alternative, it is not risk free.
