New Company Competing Against PayPal
I know many of the users on this board use PayPal and the fees have gotten a bit extreme. Well, it seems some people have taken notice of this. A new company called Revolution Money Exchange is offering essentially everything PayPal is without the hefty fees. In addition, they're giving every new sign up $25 for free and if you refer someone, they also give you $10 per referral (up to a maximum of 50 referrals). I signed up and like it so far, so I thought I'd pass it along here for anyone else interested.

There are several alternatives to PayPal, some of which have been around for years. CNN ran an article on the recent fee hikes and displeasure with PayPal back in February and offered their own list of 5 alternatives:

PayPal did the same thing when they were new. $20 to sign up, $20 referrals. It later dropped to $5, and then disappeared completely. I don't know if any of those other ones follow the same model and I haven't used anything other than PayPal and the now defunct BidPay. I think a lot of other countries still mainly use direct wire transfers as the default payment method.

I never could use Bidpay, they refused my first 2 payments, so I gave up.l0qii wrote:PayPal did the same thing when they were new. $20 to sign up, $20 referrals.

I use moneybookers a lot with friends, saves a lot of fees for big amounts.
I will try Revolution. Thank you for telling us Bear. Sick of Paypal.
I haven't used one of my Paypal account in 12 months and got a restriction notification yesterday. I just told them to leave me alone ! They suck !

They have absolutely no respect to their customers.PolarBearGod wrote:I'm kind of sick of PayPal too. I went searching for alternatives and came across this.
Last year, Paypal told one of my sellers (who is now a friend) that I may clean dirty money using Paypal, just because I was sending lots of money to buy MTG. I was utterly disgusted. And they blocked my money ($4500) for more than a month. This friend was in deep trouble because he needed this money badly.

Hi,
try this one: https://www.moneybookers.de/app/
I've done lots of payments with it already.
PayPal offers me from time to time free shippings from the US (30 USD maximum). =D>
