What is more advisable to use for someone like me who is not from the United States. I'm worried i can't cash out the money, all my efforts on online jobs would be wasted.

MyLot only uses Paypal. Other sites use either or both. Both have no problems and I am using them for several years now.

It's always Paypal, which is considered the best. But for some sites who don't offer Paypal as payment processor, you can make them pay in your Alertpay Account. Later on you can transfer that to your Paypal account for betterment.

I think Paypal is the best, because, even if it is ten dolors, it can be sent to your bank without a big service charge. Whereas in Alertpay, the minimum is $50, otherwise, a big service charge is levied. For Paypal you need not have a credit card, my son made about $20 in Mylot, and he was able to transfer the amount into his NEW BANK ACCOUNT, without any problems.

Hello, I think you shouldn't choose, what you should do is get an account for both, as some sites only use Paypal, and some sites only use Alertpay. They are both really legit, and I am Canadian, so I can use both :)

I have an account for both, but I rarely opt for Alertpay because you can't buy from e-bay using it. Thanks for the response hehe

paypal is more advisable. I have found that paypal money transfering charge is mostly lesser than that of alert pay. If you want to open an account for online money transfer for freebie, mylot or any other online earning site i would recommend paypal for it.

Paypal is a lot better than Alertpay, for it accepts bank accounts too. But alertpay doesnot accept Bank accounts. So, I always use Paypal.

Neither of them is reliable! Alertpay doesn't care period if someone is scamming using an Alertpay account they do nothing to stop them from my OWN experience. Paypal isn't much better but they at least protect buyer. I've been a victim of fraud ones at paypal the buyer claimed he hadn't made the payment that it was unauthorized same buyer had bought from a bunch of people (several hindered dollars) and had the payments reversed after receiving items. Funny thing is she message some sellers from her new email at paypal saying it was a mistake and she would pay them back which she didn't do of course since it was planned from the beginning. I wish there was a company serious enough but there isn't. Paypal might be the only option between countries which is easy but same country always use bank at least if you are selling something and you won't have to worry about some BS scam. I've sold way more stuff using bank and never had any trouble than I sell like 10 things on ebay and get scammed.. and do mind this wasn't just me it was at least 6-7 other sellers that got scammed by this same person.
