just like it attacked the ptrs not that long ago? I was thinking but I remember when some ptrs started to use Moneybookers, and then they went against the ptr industry as well. The only way I would go over to Alertpay is if most of the ptcs go to that, because if the payoff is $5 to $10, and one lives in Canada, one cannot download unless one makes at least $20. I think it is a shame because many of us do not make that much money and this at least pays for internet connection, or some pantyhose or notepaper. Or is Paypal just wants rich people to deal with?

I don't use Alertpay. I like to use Paypal but they are making it very hard for all of us who get paid online to receive payments. I don't know what I am going to do right now. I can get paid by Egold, but I can't spend Egold. I will have to find someone who can trade it for Paypal, i guess.

I like Paypal, but I do wish being in Canada, that we did not have that horrible NAFTA rule did not allow us to open U.S. bank accounts on their own unless we have thousands of dollars for the Royal Bank account. Paypal and Alert Pay will not transfer money into Canadian Bank US. accounts.

The trouble with Alert Pay is that now it takes me longer to reach payment because of their higher costs. I sure wish that Paypal had not been so strict. I mean it is not as if I am being lazy, but with Alert Pay, i have to make about twenty dollars for each site I belong to to make it worthwhile since they charge even when the company transfers my money to their site and I am charged for downloading or the check.

That is why I joined, but I decided to raise my minimum so the fees would not seem as high. So far I have not reached cashout.

Hey s,
That stinks you can't get your money out of paypal unless you have $20.00-I live in the USA & the way the site works for me is I just enter the dollar amount I want to withdraw. I've never heard of alertpay in any case paypal works great for all my affiliates so I'll stick w/ paypal.

I like paypal and I can transfer the money to my Canadian account but with a 50 cent fee, it is almost as bad as Alert Pay.

I joined alertpay a few years ago when paypal did this the last time. So far I have received only one payment and was surprised at how high the fee was. While I think it's good to have payout options, they don't work the same for everyone.

I will have to raise my cashout fees for that to work.

I have been with AlertPay ever since November but, I don't have any funds yet. This may be a blessing in disguise since I will be having an AlertPay fund in the near future. I know that AlertPay can send your earnings by a Bank Account or a check whichever you may like.

I prefer checks, because we plan to go to the States near the end of the year and the last time, I did not have any spending money.

I find Paypal easier and there are more companies using Paypal. When I order something I usually use a credit card, but there are sometimes that the company goes through Paypal. Now if I join Alertpay, how many are going to us that? I do not want to have a whole bunch of online processors if I cannot reach cashout because I am not at that limit.
