Anyone use ProPay, Moneybookers or Paymate?

Any thoughts on those payment methods?

I use both ProPay and MoneyBookers. Of the two, I prefer ProPay.

Not that many buyers use MoneyBookers. Pro Pay will give you a way to accept credit cards, for a reasonable cost.

If you are not a Power Seller or whatever they are called today, you will have to send your buyers an email invoice from which to pay. I have never had any problem with that method.

what are the fees for using propay now?
I remember there is an $35 annual fee,3.5% discount fee,35 cents transaction fee and a 1/2% fee for withdrawing your fund?
and no international transaction.

Go with the merchant account.

It is totally different from using PayPal, though. If you do decide to apply for a merchant account, allow for a delay in getting the account set up, a delay in getting your first payments processed and a learning curve. In other words, have a cash cushion for the transition period.

PayPal insulates you from these problems but at what cost?

Hey, don't laugh. I have a customer who sends me checks for website purchases.

The upside is that these days checks clear much faster than they used to.

Thanks for the info. I've been seeing a few sellers not taking paypal anymore, and going with only the other services.

Some sellers may have a debit balance in their account.
Say they lost a dispute and there is no fund in their paypal account, any future payments will just be netted against the decifit balance.
some could be ex retailers who lost their shop and now selling from home,if you remember your term agreement with Paypal,it will pull credit report on us.
