The New PayPal - Alert Pay
April 12th, 2008
For all who ply the trade online, I am sure you would not be unfamiliar with PayPal and Egold. However for those who are not familiar let me try to put this in a layman’s term. Let’s just say that if it was the real world, Paypal is accepted by most companies, and I would compare it to the US dollar. And egold is used for many investment instrument s online however not as widely accepted, and I would compare to the the Japanese Yen.
Now there is a emerging new force, and lets compare it to Euro. This new online currency wide is still not as widely accepted it is slowly gaining popularity. It does have many advantages compared to Paypal.
Paypal being the main players wield a lot of power, and it does gets some of the smaller business and user. In fact there was a lot of complaints on paypal lately, claiming that they are just no business friendly for the small retailers. Reviews on CNet.
In comes the next better player -Alertpay, beside being able to do what paypal does, it has good rates too.
Now only that, alertpay is fast gaining retailers and consumer alike and one of the main reason is that they are secure, in fact the feel it is that it is more secure that paypal. So far there have not been any incident that had surface.
The other factor is that they are accepted worldwide, unlike paypal the limited some countries like India etc.. Therefore the people from these countries are fraustrated that they cannot benefit from this would be able to rejoice now for now they is an alternative.
If that is not enough good news they are also giving a high $10 per referral. So you could benefit very well to promote this program itself. Therefore if you don’t like the dollar, there is an alternative of the Euro now. So what is holding you back to sign up for a free account now?

The problem with alertpay though, and one that is it’s disadvantage compared to paypal, is that they don’t have much withdrawal options. They only have through bank for selected countries, and through check, which I think is a big hassle. Compared to paypal where we can withdraw our money through our bank or through cards, it’s easier that way, don’t you think? This is the reason why I’m still searching for a better payment processor, and why I’ll still choose paypal if I have the option.

I agree that there are some short comings, that is why it is not five stars. give it time, paypal took a long time to get where it is now.

Oh I forget to add, you can actually transfer you alertpay credits to egold which is more portable that paypal.
That might actually be better that Paypal, you would find it very difficult to convert your credits and end up you need to stick with Paypal.
