Moneybookers VS Paypal, which do you prefer

That may only be because of how many times the consumer buys something that was misrepresented! I hope you can forgive them or accept the fee at moneybookers!

I believe that I will accept the fee at Moneybookers, becuase I never misrepresented any items that were sold on ebay and I should not have to pay for the ones that did misrepresent their items.. I had over 2300 auctions and only a few problems.. Thanks for the thoughts..

I used Paypal for years and the only time that I had trouble was when I was cheated by new buyers on ebay and I thought that Paypal should have found in my favor.. But in almost all of the ebay transactions, Paypal has a habit of finding in the favor of the buyer, not the seller, no matter what each person's reputation is.. Thanks so much for the input, I appreciate it..

I am pretty sure that even Paypal can get hacked.. My son is a computer geek and he does things that you wouldn't believe between my computer and his.. I am sure that Paypal is as secure as it can be but you also said that you had a friend whose Paypal got hacked, so it isn't 100% secure.. Thanks so much for the response.. Have a great day..

I have requested you as a friend, when you accept my friendship, I will be able to respond to your discussions.. You have the right idea about how it works.. I will be watching for your discussions.. Have a great evening..

Yeah I know its amazing what some people can do with a computer,and I know even PayPal can get hacked,but I trust it more than other money sites,and I know a lot of people who use PayPal,and have no problems with it, and you are very welcome for the response,I was more than happy to respond to you,and I hope that by responding to other peoples discussions they will respond to mine,have a great day,good luck in your life ,and Happy Posting.

And I have wondered if anybody else ever feels that way, about not using a company that caused too much trouble! Makes me wonder what ever happened to boycotting!

I do prefer Paypal but am still so mad at them for the wrongdoing on their part, that I will never use them again.. I appreciate your comments and thanks..

If I am reading the terms right, we have to have a Paypal or a Moneybookers account.. I hope this is right because I am not going to use Paypal at all and I wanted to find out if anyone else on here had used the Moneybookers and what it was like.. I am very adament about never using Paypal again.. I will leave my money setting in here before I use Paypal.. Thanks so much and check on it, I believe you can use either one.. Have a wonderful day..

@DonnaLawson - Never heard of Moneybookers. Have had no bad experience with PayPal.

Paypal is trustworthy but I have been cheated with false chargebacks 4 or 5 times on ebay and Paypal never sided with me, just on the side of the buyer, even though I had over 2300 auctions and was in the right.. I felt as if I was a proven seller and a trusted customer with that many positive feedbacks, and was cheated by people with a very few feedbacks, so I really don't like to use Paypal at all.. Even though Paypal has never given me trouble outside of ebay, I still have problems with even thinking of using them again.. Thanks for the input..

It wasn't really the percentges that made me so mad, I sold on ebay for a few years and was 100% open and obove board about my items.. I described any minute flaw, I was completely honest with everyone whom I came in contact with.. I don't like dishonesty and never will but that was one of the problems, I wasn't going to be cheated by others, just as I would never cheat them.. So, I thought with just the numbers, Paypal and Ebay should have sided with me knowing my reputation VS. the very small feedback of the newcomers.. I seemed to me that it was a common sense problem and ebay nor Paypal had the common sense.. Thanks for your thoughts..

I hope you do well in your ebay selling.. I did really well for quite awhile until too many dishonest buyers started cheating me and doing chargebacks with Paypal, then Paypal gave them their money back and I was just out in the cold as far as money, fees and merchandise.. I do wish you luck with your selling and hope you don't have any trouble with anyone, good luck..

I would use paypal also if I had not have had so much extra trouble with them.. I hoped that more people would have used Moneybookers and had good things to say about them, but Paypal is the most used for collecting and making payments.. Thanks so very much for the input..

I do believe that I am going to at least try Moneybookers.. If it doesn't work that well or if I have any trouble, then I will maybe, just maybe, go back to Paypal.. Thanks so much, Donna

Paypal can freeze your account or it can do chargebacks and you almost always lose your money.. Paypal found in my favor one time only and then the other persons charge card company found in their favor, so I was still out my money and my merchandise.. I do not know anything about Moneybookers, but Mylot does offer it as an option to getting paid.. I am going tocheck it out further.. thanks so much for the thoughts and have a great evening..

even though they are widely spread over the internet there is nothing we can do

Thanks for the comments and the thoughts on this.. I do appreciate it.. I was really hoping for at least one more person who thought that Moneybookers was better.. Oh well, you can't win them all.. Have a great evening..

I have had about 3 or 4 bad experiences with Paypal and really do not want to use them again.. But I would love to hear from someone who has used Moneybookers so that I can make a decision as to which one I am going to use when I do get my first payday from Mylot.. Thanks so much..

I explained in the post just before yours why I don't like to use Paypal anymore, I really was hoping to get a perspective on Moneybookers but it seem as if no one really uses them that much.. Thanks much for your comments and have a great evening..

Thanks so much, I do believe Paypal is in the lead but I am still not sure if I will ever go back to them again.. I was really hoping for someone to say, yes, I use Moneybookers and they are great but out of all of the responses, only one person has used Moneybookers.. I was hoping for more people rooting for Moneybookers.. Thanks so much for the response..

I had never heard of it before either, but Mylot does send payments through Paypal and Moneybookers.. I am trying to find out if anyone else uses it.. Thanks for the comment..

Thanks so much for the comment, I do prefer Paypal but for the reasons that I stated before, I really would like to try Moneybookers.. Have a wonderful evening..

Thanks so very much for the input, your English will get better with time.. Good luck to you.. Have a great evening..
