Alertpay vs Paypal
« on: January 12, 2011, 11:39:49 am »
Which one is better and which one do you use? I have both and I'm not sure which one is better. I'm still learning how to use them :)

I think AlertPay charges more but I'm not positive of that.  I have both but mostly use PayPal.

AlertPay allows things PayPal freezes accounts for. I have both and have run thousands of dollars through them with no problems that couldn't be worked out.

I think I like Paypal a bit more than Alertpay. I'm just curious to know if any money made it from my Paypal to my bank? I guess, I will just have to go to the bank when its time and see if Paypal made any deposit in my bank. I plan to have Fusioncash send the money to my Paypal and see if I can get it any quicker.

I got an AlertPay account recently because one of my programs stopped paying to PayPal which I've had for years.  I don't have any complaints with either one but I prefer PayPal because it's familiar.  I know that they are less forgiving about what type of income you are getting but I don't get that much anyway anymore.  I used to get around $200 a month from a parked domain but traffic has dropped way off and clicks aren't paying much since December of 2008   :'(  Back then, I hoped it was just Christmas and would come back after the first of the year but it just kept falling and now I'm lucky to get $1 a day.  It sure was easy money while it lasted   :thumbsup:

Both are good but I use Paypal the most. There are more merchants accepting Paypal but I find a lot of sites online pay only to Alertpay. Paypal it seems, has stricter rules.

Paypal is better.  Paypal is easy to use and is more established than Alertpay.

AlertPay lets you send money if you're account in unverified, PayPal doesn't. If you want to shop online, many stores will accept PayPal but I don't know if any accepts AlertPay (I haven't found any).

They each have their own pros and cons.

I have heard of Alertpay but that is about it. I use Paypal because I tend to buy things off of ebay and Paypal offers protection in case someone tries to scam me on Ebay. :thumbsup:

Never heard of Alertpay, but from what some in this thread are saying it sounds like it might be useful to someone like me to have an account there as welll as Paypal.

I use both. It depends upon the situation whichever is the preferred method. I usually opt for the one with the lowest processing fee.
