alternatives to pay pal
by ChelleBG33 - 1/28/05 1:03 PMi'm setting up a website for a non profit org. and i want to include a way for site visitors to "e-donate." the pay pal donations button would be perfect. however, while doing my research i've heard bad things about pay pal and don't want to do anything that would negatively effect the credit cards or pockets of those kind souls that donate. i also don't want to make it harder for the org. to get funds...that would defeat the purpose of having the link in the first place.
the problem is i haven't heard of any alternatives. does anyone know what alternatives i would have besides just asking for payments to be mailed.
A huge area

You Have Got To Be Kidding Me
by LuvNLife - 6/28/05 4:47 AM In reply to: alternatives to pay pal by ChelleBG33How in the name of all that's Holy can someone come in here and post such a blatant lie?
I suppose the poster forgot to mention that anyone signing up with his link puts more people under him in this newest spin on an MLM, or as it's popularly know, a pyramid scheme. If this person made a single spendable nickel, it was off of referrals like he has posted here. The ''money'' the poster refers to is what GreenZap calls Webcash; a currency they created that's only good between members and with ''select'' vendors which don't quite exist yet. By the way, if/when they do exist, those vendors will overcharge for their goods, so your Webcash discount is worthless. GreenZap safe and secure? You're right, they are. As a matter of fact, it's been so secure for the past week roughly 1000 people couldn't get to their real cash to withdraw it. Why? Some hacked the site and created literally millions of dollars in fake Webcash. Real secure. Oh, did the poster mention it'll cost you $100.00 via money order or check to get anywhere close to the fees of PayPal, and the fact that for those that did sign up, their $$$ is sitting in limbo somewhere? Oh, the poster forgot to mention you can't use credit cards with GreenZap - I'm sure that makes everyone more comfortable.
Again, this is NOT U.S. currency; it's nothing more than intenet funny money.
Now, ask the previous poster for the details of his PayPal scam. Let's all hear just what he was selling, to whom, the terms, and so on. PayPal doesn't make a habit out of locking down accounts of totally legit customers.
For any of you with a few hours on your hand, read this thread:

If that doesn't tell you enough all on it's own, go to GreenZap's own website: www.ZapToday.com
Now tell the truth
by biggfredd - 6/28/05 6:02 AM In reply to: alternatives to pay pal by ChelleBG33"I signed up with GreenZap a while ago and I already have almost $400 from them all from telling people about GreenZap!"
Now explain to people that the $400 isn't actually money, but a thing called webcash, which can be spent almost nowhere, and if used according to the examples on the GreenZap site, will cost you more than if you went out and bought the same items without using webcash.
The "free" $25 isn't anything but more of this webcash.
As for PayPal being a scam, the largest and most read thread ever on scam.com is about GreenZap:

Did you ever get an answer
by slceravolo - 8/6/05 4:02 PM In reply to: alternatives to pay pal by ChelleBG33This thread imploded, but I have the exact same question and haven't been able to get an answer
Merchant Processing
by MemberX - 12/16/05 9:41 AM In reply to: Did you ever get an answer by slceravoloThere are tons of options out there for merchant processing. Pay Pal is an absolute RIP OFF! Their fees start at 3% and most people won't pay you through Pay Pal because of their bad history of charge backs.
You want to get a BANK to process your credit cards.
You can get very good rates from Humboldt Merchant Services. They can get you a merchant account and if you want, setup a gateway at a discount.
Rates are less than 2.25% for internet accounts.

Amazon.com, believe it or not...
by amg503 - 1/5/06 7:36 AM In reply to: alternatives to pay pal by ChelleBG33Amazon.com offers a donation program, which is similiar to PayPal donations. I haven't used either, but it APPEARS that the Amazon one is easier to use that PayPal.
It's called the "Honor System"
