Well I have registered in all the three of them.But it seems Alert pay is very user friendly and makes very fast transaction processing.Liberty reserve is known for its nominal fee.It also has some security related issues though.But personally I had nice experience with it.PayPal on the other hand has gained a lot of good will and trust in few years.It charges some fee though but it is the most secure site for online transaction.Now share me your views and experience so far with all three of them.

Hi Saurav,
I think it depends on several factors. For some countries Paypal is just out of the list because it doesnt allow its citizens to become members example - Pakistan.
As you say Alert Pay has a simple interface and is much simpler to use but not many people work with it and there are many organizations that wont accept Alert Pay. So if you have only Alertpay, though you have funds up there you cannot use them.
Same also stands good for Liberty Reserve. So it all depends on what your requirements are and how they are going to be accomplished.
However, if you have a credit card, all these hassles are removed and in that case, I would still prefer to have a Paypal Id as it is much more widely accepted than anything else.

There is no doubt PayPal is the best in their business.I my country it is available though but verification is lengthy and asks for many proof like PAN card ,Cards that are Visa approved.But I personally had a nice experience with PayPal.So full marks to it.Anyways thanks for that wonderful words from you.Have a nice day.

Yes indeed PayPal is internationally accepted brand.It has been in service for many years and has been a trusted partner for many internationally trading firms.Alert Pay and liberty reserve are new and also yet to be approved in most countries.Any ways thanks for that wonderful experience you have shared with us.Have a nice day.

So far I am using PayPal and I've got no problem. It is widely recognize and accepted, either. Although I do not deny that PayPal also has its own security issues and problems. Something like that cannot be avoided, right?

Yes every processor has its own issue.But I didn't knew that PayPal also has issues that too with security.As far as my knowledge is concerned PayPal is the most secure processor ever.Any ways thanks for your participation in my thread.Have a nice day.

I was a member of alertpay when i wasn`t able to have a paypal account and an e-gold member too . Alertpay had huge fees then at the begining. I don`t know how it`s now. I`m so happy because paypal accepted my country too and i`m using just paypal ,because it`s the most popular and you can buy different things around the internet, and even find whatever you want on ebay . Too bad that amazon isn`t accepting paypal .

I have all three of them as well. Paypal is my most used account of them all because it's widely accepted and used too. Alertpay is not as good because it's new. I don't like things to be too raw when it comes to online as we don't know what's happening behind the scenes. As for liberty reserve, i only sign for it because of wanting more options for payout methods. Til date, i have not even used it once.

I have accounts in all the three, and all there here as the same. But If I had to choose one, I would vote for PayPal. It's older than Alertpay or Liberty Reserve and has more customers around the globe as well.

Yes Pay Pal is trusted by each and every organization.More over it is world wide accepted.Definitely it is giving a stiff competition to other two processors.Anyways thanks for sharing your views in my thread. have a nice day.

Actually, I don't have accounts other than with Paypal. So far, I'm doing fine. It charges for transactions but that's their business. It won't be operating till now if they don't earn from it. So far so good.

I have chosen to use Paypal because they have been around a long time and have gained a really good reputation of a site that many people trust. I have a friend with Alert Pay but you have to have a certain amount of money in the account to withdraw any money from them. So I just stick with Paypal because they don't have a limit to withdraw and they are really reliable.

Paypal is much more better in my opinion.
Although some countries are restricted.
Paypal is most widely used as a payment processor specially in most websites and online auctions and stores.
Alertpay is good also since you can verify it even if you dont have a credit card. You can just verify your account through SMS. You can also withdraw your Cash through Cheque, Bank, Wire Transfer,etc.. which Paypal wouldnt. But only few sites accepts Alertpay which is on the downside.
Liberty reserve indeed have lesser fee's, but i really wouldnt reccomended plus only minimal sites allow Libery Reserve.
