Alternative to paypal?

[akulion]

Hi

Unfortunately for me Paypal dosent offer my country Pakistan as one of its listed countries and so now that really sucks for me cos I cant buy anything that offers paypal as an option of payment.

So I wanted to ask the people here if they know of a reliable and trusted source of payment method on th internet apart from paypal?

Also can someone get me upto date on what this e-gold stuff is? I'm reading their site but its not really making much sense to me so maybe some users input would help.

Man it really sucks i cant use paypal

There is Moneybookers...not sure if they provide for your contry though. I got an account there, but haven't used it for Themeshop for example - they don't have automatic update notification for merchants, only manual.

How did you do it? since my country isn't listed in paypal as well.

I have come across some people using paystone and they seem pretty good. Not sure if it will be available in your country though:

www.paystone.com

Or obviously Google is getting ready to launch Gbuy too.

Thx for the link but that also doesn't support my country (Lebanon)

yes GBuy is comming out soon although it requires you to have a credit card and it is for serious shoppers only, as i heard.

and the problem that keeps us from going to anywhere other then PayPal is that it is supported everywhere. wherever you go, whenever there's something to buy, you find paypal. although i don't like it at all but what can we do.

What would be an alternative? next to paypal?

There are none for non-UK users, paypal is best. For UK users, www.nochex.co.uk is becoming wider used. AFAIK, it's only available for UK users at the moment.
