Gold Money has less of a stigma and better press then E-Gold but less tractionGold Money

Google Checkout is the wave of the future (USA only so far)

Neteller is said to be good but banned on eBay ,alot of other UK based gambling linked services seem to have alot of users. neteller.com

Firepay is accepted by alot of gambling sites and those sites are rather serious about getting paid Fire Pay


Xcoin is new and on Onlineauctions.com ,I signed up( but have not used it yet. ) X-Coin

These are really helpful posts! I've been looking for some credible alternatives to PayPal and will check these out.

Thanks to everyone who posted here!

Here is a new one that just popped up in Canada a few days ago , its an expansion of Interac system thats famous for Certapay ,but this is ofr merchants
Interac for Merchants

Slavic - is it Canada only - do you know?

Do all merchants in Canada and around the world accept Interac Online?

It is up to each merchant to decide which payment options they want to offer. Interac Online is available to all online merchants that do business in Canada and have a relationship with a Canadian debit/credit card processor.

Visit www.interaconline.com for a list of participating merchants and banks.

Looks to be a good choice for crossborder Americans

May want to contact Canadian branch in USA such as Scotia ,BMO ,RBC and TD and see if they offer it for USA , may also want to look into Certapay which does not involve merchant account or relationship with a provider.

Alternative is just open Canadian account in Canada and talk with beanstream

Hey...noticed that Xcoin is a valid payment option for Overstock. At least that is what shows on the site.

Its not only on Xcoin site , there is a page on the Overstock site , you have to go to the auctions page for it to show up thats how I missed it before

Overstock & Xcoin

You know Xcoin being on "Online Auctions" is not very impressive but it may have picked up some sellers that way , while being on Overstock and being elbow to elbow with eBay partner like "Auction Checkout" is fairly impresssive.

Xcoin may be moving into "RC Cola" position but smart money still says Google-Checkout will be the "Pepsi"

RC or Shasta!! LOL Yeah...Google will if Google ever DOES!!

2checkout, worldpay, ChronoPay, Moneybookers might be considered as good alternative to paypal, IMHO.

Moneybookers is growing and just redesigned its site

Xcoin is getting more popular

Googlecheckout will go international for sellers this year

Egold is growing

Certapay and Interac Online

plenty of strong options now

does anyone use ecount? someone said on the 1st page that it accepts payment w/ zero fee. and it's like paypal. can anyone explain what exactly it is?

I never heard of that one.......

but I stopped using Xcoin because of poor communication and attitude.


Moneybookers is great
Interac/Certapay is awesome in Canada

Googlecheckout I can't wait until SELLERS can you it from Canada

Neteller may be of interest

but Xcoin I'm not impressed

Does anyone have experience with eBillme from MODAsolutions.com? It claims to have a simple API and allows buyers to pay electronically via their bank account, just like the electronic payments with online banking. Perhaps it could be offered here as one of the VirtueMart payment options.
