Alternative To Paypal

5 Alternatives to PayPal as Anonymous organises Boycott #OpPayPal

Anonymous have turned to legal means to exert pressures on the websites and webservices that rouse their ire and have organised an online boycott of PayPal.

So far they claim 20,000 accounts have been deleted. It's retaliation for PayPal withdrawing the account of WikiLeaks back in 2010. Back then, they hit them with a DDoS attack, pointing out that PayPal are willing to host an account for the KuKluxKlan.

This time the Anons just want you to delete your account, and they're using their vast Twitter presence to get a movement going. Ideally using the form above. See their manifesto for #OpPayPal here . My problem is that I agree with Anonymous, but that PayPal is so damn convenient.

But if you're looking for an alternative to PayPal check out these five below, though none - yet - match PayPal for widespread presence on the internet and technical reliability. So be cautious.

1. Google CheckOut - okay, so we understand you don't want to give more of your details to Google, but this online payment system is backed by the biggest name on the web. And they do pay attention to security.

Gadgetbox - Mobile PayPal alternative emerges: Serve and Sprint

Serve, just as PayPal, is a closed payment system. It restricts users to using only AmEx payment products with their accounts. You can see how the credit card company benefits from such an arrangement, but you can’t really make a strong case that it is a sound strategy for Sprint and it certainly runs counter to the consumer’s best interests.

I think that if Sprint, or any other carrier, leaves it up to the consumer to decide what payment type to link to their mobile wallet, they will find that consumers appreciate the freedom of choice. http://blog.unibulmerchantservices.com/sprint-to-help-push-amexs-mobile-payments-platform
