Other way to pay besides Paypal??

[txdog27 10+ year member]

My Paypal account is jacked up at the moment due to a irresponsible younger brother that I did a favor for....

Been a few items on here that I would like purchase from a few members but havent even messaged them because I dont want to waste there time with a frozen Paypal account.....ugh

Is there any other ways that you guys use to pay for stuff between each other?

Depends on each member. Some of us take credit card payments while others don't. Some will wait on a mondy order to be sent and others won't. A few may still do COD but don't count on that one.

You can always purchase items through use of a money order. The only down side being that money orders take longer to send/receive than the instant payment through Paypal.

paypal is the safest most preferred choice anything else can be worked out with the seller, but keep in mind if you are te purchaser a money order is like giving them money with 0 gaurentee of getting the item or your money back....thats why most people choose paypal at least you can make claims on there.

well in my bubble....I would like to believe that no one on here with respectable feedback and forum credibility would do anything like that.....lol

wouldnt send a money order to just anyone.....was hoping there was another electronic way similar to Paypal that I just hadnt heard of.......

There is Google Checkout but I don't know if that works like Paypal.

If you are wanting one that will have some "safety" behind it, that is pretty much a no. If you find a respectable member your normally ok with your purchase but not in all cases. Best suggestion is to contact those member you wish to purchase an item from and see where your conversations go. If you have questions about any member you can search to find feedback and post up a thread asking questions if needed.

OP, the biggest advice I can give you is make sure to take plenty of pics and possibly even a video prior to shipping just so you have some proof. No matter what method you use the buyer can always try and screw you over -- unfortunately I learned this the hard way.

Moneygram.com is electronic and the seller can pick up the payment at one of a ton of closeby locations

There's also the site Alertpay, but I don't know how many people here actually use it.

This is no better then sending an MO when considering some sort of safety net. The only extra benefit is that you know they picked it up, but you know when the MO is cashed as well.

Not to many use that I don't think. I have looked into it a few times but, I dunno, never did more then that.
