hi ,,,just wanted to get under ur notice that some people donot feel secure with paypal directions,,they bieleve in check transaction ,,although it may chrg few $,,but u can make that provision also,,,thank u

I know I was asking questions in another thread about paypal but as for using them for features like here they are perfectly fine and safe. Plus you have to think about that "few $" you mentioned. Signing up for PP is free, plus you can transfer from them directly into your bank account, and vice-versa. A lot simpler for all around.
In case you don't know...Paypal is owned by E-bay, well know and respected company.

I am not a moderator, but I would assume that checks would be a big problem as we have people from all over the world here. The cost of writing these checks in the proper dollar format and mailing them to the people would exceed the amount on the check for most people. As a user of Paypal for 8-9 years now, I can assure it is very safe.

There's also the problem of the fee for cashing a different currency cheque at your local bank - for example, even if Colin and the guys were willing to write out and mail cheques in US dollars and send them, then your local bank is likely to charge you quite a bit to process that cheque, here in Cyprus, it would take at least 3 weeks to process the cheque and probably cost at least half of the amount the cheque was for by the time the bank added their processing fees, the exchange rate and anything else they can think of lol :)

I way prefer Paypal, but that's just my personal experience..

Could you imagine changing a check and instead of receiving money, the bank give you a bill? Your ROI is not very good then.

Checks are near impossible with thousands of members getting paid a month, there is writing, processing, the cost of postage, and the time and accounting required.

Most of the Pay-Pal scare is because people who abuse the rules and get their account frozen or deleted then go lie about Pay-Pal to try and scare others off out of revenge. If Pay-Pal were not a secure resource then major corporations and millions of users would not use them. Take a look at just about any major online retail site, from Tiger Electronics, to Wal-Mart and more they trust Pay-Pal with millions of dollars in sales.

Pay Pal for those who don't know is owned and backed by E-bay and also owns Verisign which is the encryption system preferred by not only most payment processors, but banks, the US Government, and most Anti Virus software sites use them as well to keep transactions secure. The fear is based on lies and their actual security track record is the best in the business bar none.

Yeah as everyone said above, checks are not a viable option. Is there another processor we can add that you like?

Great Andy, and Colin. I second your thought that most of those who are scared of Paypal, are either because they have not used it properly or read the complete rules, and facilities Paypal offers.

I still feel it is the most user friendly,safe, and value added service as far as Money exchange or Payment processors are concerned. Can you see they also offer Money transfers/Withdrawal to your own Local Banks in your individual countries, what more do you want? Why go for a Check? when your Money is being deposited to your own personal Bank directly?

I appreciate Colin's offer of adding other payment processors, and maybe some members would like that, but I am sure that will require adding a lot of more functions, not the least to mention a lot of more work for the Admin/Tech/Support Teams.

I personally have been using Paypal for so many years, and have both a Business as well as a Personal Account, and their services, and support, and Anti-spam/Phising support systems are just too good. Well each one has his own opinions, and I respect them. Just thought of expressing mine.

Never had a problem with Paypal myself. Though their service was made available to my country just a couple of years back, I can say they are great.

it would be a gud thought of paying through cheque's but people residing in india or outside abroad would be processed with high fee charges so for me would prefer paypal..

PayPal is cool most of the time. I had my account hacked into several years back. The crooks who did it tried to purchase a $500 piece of Jewelery and have it shipped over seas. PayPal caught the problem right away and I didn't lose a dime.
