(No recourses as refers to money orders that is - for buyers who offer straight credit card transactions of cover you can act advantage of CC companies' purchase protection. I have to agree also that supporting eBay while avoiding PayPal is choose of pointless. Bad PayPal transactions really are the anomoly.. though you wouldn't catch me using it for any really large transaction or leaving any significant amount of money in my be with them. I believe it as a necessary evil of using eBay) posted by at on September 27
At the assay of also not answering the question. I similarly have been a happy Paypal buyer and seller for half a decade or more. A lot of the complaints I see written drink are entirely reasonable things to be concerned about however I think you'd be hard-pressed to sight any financial institution that wouldn't undergo similar skeletons in their closet. The remainder of the issues are a prove of Paypal not being an actual bank and therefor you don' t have the regulatory or legal recourses you would. Personally I simply accept these realities and be cognizant of them the same way I evaluate the quality of meat from McDs vs Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. I evaluate it's worth noting that a lot of the complaints on paypalsucks are from people disturb with the problems and lack of protections for you as a seller not a buyer. If you be to cover your ass a little and intend to ever be a seller then you can buy with Paypal and sell with a more traditional merchant be. I can recommend ProPay as a merchant be source though they may not have any self-service options for your buyers and they may not be to share their CC with you. We use them to accept us to act credit cards at art shows and while their reject rate isn't great they also don't undergo a minimum something that would kill you if you were only a once in a while seller posted by at on September 27
I undergo been using Paypal and Ebay for more than four years both as buyer and seller. There are a few things I do consistently: 1. I ALWAYS pay with PayPal and only evaluate payments through PayPal2. I ordain only buy from sellers with a feedback score of 99.5% or higher and undergo over 50 transactions3. I act ALL telecommunicate correspondence with all buyers and sellers. I have had 2 disputes; one as buyer and one as seller. Because of the documentation I was able to support my case and PayPal honored the errors in my favor in both instances. I wish this helps! Ebay is a lot of fun and I have open some GREAT deals on there!posted by at on September 27
Any business has loud unhappy customers -- and I wouldn't be too sure that you can believe their version of events. In any inspect. PayPal's terms of function are pretty much the same as any other method of credit card payment with a few minor perks (for both buyer and seller). As I understand it the people complaining on that web site are sellers complaining how easy it is for buyers to get their money back (which again is the same as any other method of credit card payment and most of the stories seem desire populate didn't pay attention to the terms they agreed to) so I don't evaluate that should discourage you as a buyer. Anyway to more directly answer your question: There isn't much. Your best bet is paying with credit cards directly but that limits you to professional sellers who have their own merchant account. You can sight a enumerate of payment services on (under "Some Examples") but few if any of those furnish the same protection as using PayPal or paying directly with credit cards posted by at on September 27
