The Paypal Trap....
To many web
users, PayPal is not the kind of pal they had envisioned when starting
their online business. Long on track history but overwhelmingly
unpopular among merchants and buyers one is left to wonder why PayPal
has continued to grow.
Ignorance and lack of knowledge has a lot to do with PayPal's growth.
Many merchants are not aware of the potential problems they can
encounter depending solely on PayPal for their online payment
processing. That is, until they encounter potential customers that
won't use PayPal to purchase their products or services. Or worse, they
have their PayPal merchant account suspended and funds frozen without
notice, effectively shutting down their business.
If you really want to
get some idea as to the depth of PayPal's unpopularity, you need only
to do a search on Google. Type in "PayPal Complaints" and click enter
and see what happens. Over 335,000 results and still counting. No other
online merchant processor comes close to having this many dissatisfied
customers.
'Phishing' is another reason many customers and potential customers are
steering clear of PayPal. Not that PayPal is doing the 'Phishing', but
they are certainly not making a big enough effort to stop it. And why
should they? They are not 'Phishing' and they are not losing money.
Only the customer is. Virtually 100% of online 'Phishing' associated
with merchant accounts is done using the PayPal name. And even seasoned
web users are being scammed by this technique.
Customers can eliminate most, if not all, of the 'Phishing' associated
with online purchasing by simply using a different service. It is that
simple! And there are plenty of good alternatives to PayPal out there
that are hungry for your business. None are as big as PayPal and few
have been around as long as PayPal. But they are reputable and offer a
wide variety of services. And you most likely will never receive any
'Phishing' messages using their names.
So make the change now, before it is too late. Our advice is to avoid
PayPal if at all possible. And we also would advise you to offer two
different online payment options, with at least one providing you with
the ability to accept payments by check.
Following, you will find the most complete listing relating to online
payment options. Brief outlines are meant only to give you an idea of
what they have to offer. We would suggest taking the time to visit each
site. Your customers will thank you. And you will most likely eliminate
a lot of headaches in the process.
