When you try to earn some money online then you think how will they pay us. Then you came to know about different ways different sites are paying. Some are paying through PayPal, some through AlertPay, some are even sending Check to our residential addresses. AlertPay, PayPal are quick ways to receive money. Checks will take some time to reach. But personally I think checks are most secured way to get paid because we don't have to put your Card details online which scares me a lot. If it is among AlertPay and PayPal I would prefer PayPal. What is your preferred option to get paid? If it belongs to others then which one?

I would rather get paid by check,if possible.I also like getting gift cards.Some of the sites I use will pay with Walmart GC's.For me,these are just as good as cash.

I have to say that I prefer paypal over the other online payment methods. Paypal is already tested and proven to be trusted all over the world. That is why it is my preferred option.

Good day.. I think both of these websites are safe. They have their own way of verifying their client's account, though paypal is more popular because it's first and supported by ebay.

When I first got interested in online money making, so I thought that checks were the best kind of payment, because it seemed like a secure way to get paid. So in the beginning I signed up at sites that paid via checks, but after a while I realized that payment via checks wasn't such a good idea after all. Some banks in my country won't cash international checks and if is possible to cash international checks, you have a pay a large fee (about $13 or more). I have stopped using sites that pay via checks, I only use sites that pay through paypal or alertpay. Paypal is my favourite, I have an alertpay account, but I hardly ever use it.

Well i think it doesn'y matter what method to be paid as long as we get paid as promised. I think it depend to the easyness and simpleness to take the money from it, beside the security of course. For me i prefer paypal because my country already support it and it already been used widely. But lately lot of sites using alertpay for their process, so it's really unfortunate..

i do prefer paypal for my online money processor coz it supports to withdraw from many countries even if you want to be verified you should to send your credit card details for them. but as far as i know it's safe and many people are saying this too.

I prefer to get my payment from Paypal. As I can withdraw my money free of charge if the amount is over HKD1000. I have never got paid from my Alertpay account yet. I have got checks three times from a survey website. It's OK, but I have to wait longer time to receive my checks. This is why I think Paypal is already good enough for me. I love China

Hello rakesh, I agree with you they all using different kind of payment options but , i don't scare to give my card info to these sites, i don't know why but i don' scare. Nothing happened , and i hope nothing will happen too, As you say i prefer paypal too, i got check few times, but they were really small amounts , it was funny to to bank and withdraw 4-6 dollars, but if it s a big amount i prefer cheque too. Have a good day!

I would prefer the paypal payment. I think it is widely used and support withdrawal in many countries. Hence, it is quite popular for online shoppers (like in ebay.com). It is quite secure too. The problem with cheque is that sometimes if it is issued by a bank in a different country it may not be able to be withdrawed in another country. The process may take long too.

I would prefer checks whenever possible but I like paypal a lot as far as Alertpay I use this option the least and I don't have much experience with type of method. Paypal is really good though.

Personally, I prefer they pay me via paypal, I started to use paypal on 2007 and it is good, and I can withdraw my money by converting money to my bank account. I still don't know AlertPay a lot, so no comment. I don't like Check I just afraid the check can't reach me safely.

personally I believe that payal is better because its more secure than anyother payments website i know and also i can use it on ebay and pay for my objects without worrying about who is going to get my information so i would recommend paypal instead of any other i hate alert pay I feel un secured while on alert pay

Actually I prefer paypal over alert pay and checks because checks take to long and they could get lost or stolen in the mail, and alert pay is ok but its not as good as paypal, becuse paypal is instant and safer.

I always tend to use Paypal as it's something that I use anyway and not just for money to be paid into from online money making, although some places don't accept Paypal therefore I have an Alertpay account and also a Moneybookers account. I'm not too fussed on which ones that I use, as long as I get the money that I'm promised I suppose.
