Thread: Alertpay - Good and Bad ?

I use Alertpay apart from Paypal. So far I haven't found anything wrong about them. Fee are reasonable but not low as Paypal. They have a growing user base. They only take $4 when they send a check.

Anyone else use Alertpay here ? Any bad experience ?

I have been more than a year with Alertpay as of now. Till date I had not get any issues with them, in fact numerous time for my small matters they responded much faster than I had expected them.

its not bad, but only problem with them is they are not widely accepted as paypal

Of cause we can't compare Alertpay with Paypal. But when it comes to Paypal alternative which accept from members from all countries I wonder if there are better payment options.

If anyone suggest one please also point out why your option is better than Alertpay.

if we talk about paypal alternative, I think moneybookers is more better than alertpay. I heard that moneybookers more widely accepted than alertpay, anyway I didn't use any of them. Just heard by others.

Moenybookers is probably popular than Alertpay since it's older but their fees are higher and getting your account verify is pretty hard. Not great for small sales.

one member here Anupviews use plimus, he said its a better alternative to paypal.

I check Plimus fees structure and it's way to high. More than Moneybookers or Altertpay. When your payment processor taking around 10% cut from your sale that's way too much.

yea, thats true, but anupviews told its a good alternative. Specially when someone has no other choice.

I don't us Alert pay and also I don't use PayPal anymore.. For my business, I begin to use Plimus.. And and funds are safe till now. Because of the high fees, I'm intending to use 2CO. And I think 2co takes maximum 2-3% of total sale..

Why do you not using Alertpay ? Had any problems with it ? Yeah I think 2CO seems to be pretty good too though they have a $50 setup fee.

My customer don't use Alert Pay. So, its better to use the payment process which accepts PayPal, Money Booker and Alert Pay. 2CO takes $49 at first but later they have quite low fees than Plimus.. If I keep using Plimus, then I'll loose more than $50..

Of cause fee at Plimus is so outrageous. Unless they drop their fees to a level users can afford they are not gonna last long. 2co is great for accepting payments from web site visitors since it works well with all other things like Paypal, Alertpay etc.

And this is the real truth...

True. Today I applied for 2CO and also paid $49 one time fee. But still my account status is: Account Status: P (Not Allowed to Sell, Allowed to Pay).

I contacted their support team yesterday but no reply till now..

Probably there is an account verification before start using.

Didn't you find anything in their FAQ either ? Maybe the stuff is off for the weekend. xD
