Well I ue paypay all the time - and have never had an issue with them.

There are people who would say that WorldPay are a bit better, but its
really 6 and 2 threes, both do the same thing, you may want to take into
account the fact that PayPal take 4% of all funds transfered to your account
though - that is when you mopve received funds to an account!

Subject: FN-FORUM: paypal or not to paypal?


|
| i have been speaking to a new client who is about to launch a website
| (nothing to do with me!) which uses paypal as the e-commerce solution.
|
| they've asked for my opinion of paypal as a solution. (they've recently
been
| reading sites such as paypalsucks.com and are now worried about using it!)
|
| does anyone have any links to good (reputable!) industry reviews of paypal
| (good or bad)?
| and/or does anybody have any thoughts on security issues with regards to
| paypal? i.e. should they be worried and looking for an alternative
solution?
| does anyone have any stats for numbers of sites using paypal etc?
|
| i made the point that paypal is a very big business and there will be
people
| who have had a bad experience with them and will be very vocal about
dissing
| paypal on things like paypalsucks.com, but how many have had no problems
| with paypal in comparison (millions?)?
|
| they are a small business and paypal probably makes sense to them from a
| financial point of view but should they be looking at alternatives at this
| stage (with their site days away from launch)?
|
| thoughts please!
