Hello, paypal is becoming crazy day by day, I have some friend on another forum that got their PP account closed because they were reselling social media service
Do you know any good alternative to Paypal ? I just want to cover myself if something like this happen to me ...
How much customers I will lose if i'm not using paypal anymore ?

Depending on your country, Skrill may be your easiest option. Although for US residents like myself, you can only receive money on Skrill and aren’t able to send to others. Honestly the easiest option otherwise is to ask for payment in cryptocurrencies. I’m sure most if not all of your customers have a credit card. They can buy bitcoin instantly from Coinbase (or similar platforms) and send it to you. From there you can easily cash out to your bank (again this is with Coinbase).

My best advice is to find 3-5 payment options that work for you and offer all of them to your customers. Chances are, they will be able to use at least one of your payment options. As long as you are willing to go out of your way to help your customers they probably won’t back out of the sale simply because you don’t accept PayPal.

One last option, and again this depends on your country and customer’s country, you may be able to accept instant bank transfers. Here in the US most people use Zelle to transfer money between bank accounts and it’s absolutely free. Basically just be creative and offer flexibility to your customers and you should be fine

There is no alternative, 80%+ people use paypal, so you will lose A LOT. They just have no competition sadly.

PayPal have the monopoly. It sucks. They are the overlords when it comes to online payment processing and they know it. They can do whatever they like and there's jack **** you can do about it. They can (and will) hold your money, restrict payments, and close your account for whatever reasons they see fit. Disputes are basically a dice roll, no matter how much proof you have. It's actually better to straight up lie in disputes if you feel it might give you an advantage because telling the truth is a 50:50. For customers, PayPal is great. For seller's, it's a gamble. If PayPal had competition that other people actually used, I'd jump ship in a heart-beat.

Some less known are:
Circle, g2apay(If you manage to get 100k sales) skrill.
Here we use WebMoney it's bit messy but you get used to it.

Bitcoin is the future of online payments (hopefully). Any other payment option that would work like this would be also great

Skrill, Payoneer are the alternatives. Western Union, MoneyGram, Ria Transfer - are also an option, though most of people don't know how to use it.
They are barely used by most of the people, but if the person is determined to buy stuff from you - they will figure it out

The downside of Skrill is if you get a single dispute your account will be terminated and you will be asked to withdraw the remaining funds before closure.
I've used Skrill for 3 years straight and then someone decided to use stolen credit card on skrill and chargedback 50$ and got my account terminated.

Paypal is the utter trash when it comes to selling anything, disputes are a gamble, support is trash (well it is for the most online companies, but a company like PayPal should hire better personnel). As mentioned by other people, its a great option for buyers, but sellers are sitting ducks for scammers.

I've recently had someone chargeback 2 payments after they received a csgo account. Not only did I lose both payments the moment I mentioned that I was selling an account, they also charged me 40$ for investigation and i ended up losing 140$ without a chance to defend myself.

Even though I posted the buyers IP address and lots of other proof.

Once again, PayPal is the worst payment option. It's great for buying stuff, but it sucks for sellers. Again, there are many seller's that end up being scammers, so that's where it comes in handy, but for the legit sellers paypal might become a nightmare.

If you're a trusted seller or your buyer agrees and trusts you - the best and the safest option is Bitcoin.

paysend.com , works in most countries , low fees and very simple to use. i am using it for few months and never had any problem with it.

@MistiServices Paysend.com can you explain a bit please.
When someone is sending you money do you need to give them your card info? Once money is sent it will show directly on your card, right? Paysend does not have online balance like paypal does?
Is there an option where you dont have to give card number to your customer?

all options are listed on paysend.com , u can request money from someone via phone number but i am not sure that they can see ur card info ( to recive money on that way u need to have on site registred card ).All money goes to card directly , in my case its instant with real exchange rates as on market.Even if u have to give cc number / expiry date i am not sure that anyone can do something without 3-digit number on back of ur card.

Cryptos would be #1 method if there was a comfortable and easy way for buyers to send it.
Otherwise, western union is also quite reliable payment system. Haven't had any problems with it so far.

seems like a lot of people are getting into the mobile platforms, Venmo, cash app. Things like that. Super simple and easy to use.
