now that Alertpay is not accepting Visa or Mastercards to withdraw funds?
As for me, I will starts clicking a bit each that at those sites until the problem is solved.
I feel this is a mayor problem. It could be more than a problem but a catastrophe. Many big new PTC sites work only with Alertpay. That also means that those sites will become scam sites unless they start working with alternative payment processorrs. But many of those who don´t have paypal is because paypal will not have them. Now, if Alertpay does not use Visa or Mastercard, I´m sure it is not because they don´t want to, but because Visa and Master cards won´t let them. And THAT is the begining of the end.
This ,for me and for other people who work at clicking PTC sites it would also mean a lot. I would maybe lose half on my earnings.
Besides, alertpay is not as fell recieived as Paypal when you want to but something on line. Worse still!!!
What do you think and how are you going to handle this? Bux sites work usuallly withn Alertpay: only a few ones still have paypal. Share!

I am new to all of this. And I will only work with Pay Pal. I have used them for years and I trust them and their security. I would say to stay away from them if they are not Pay Pal. Or read their terms of service very carefully. Maybe you should set up a checking account that is for this purpose only. Be careful.

So many changes with sites and I think that many will opt to leaving the sites if they do not honor PayPal. If members cannot use the AlertPay conveniently then there would be no reason to continue using the sites that only allow Alertpay.
I either pay a small fee to have the funds transferred to my bank account and or use the monies for online purchases. Though it is not easy as many sites do not accept Alertpay as a payment method.
So if I had a great many of them, I probably would just leave them.

I used to sell things on a site that would only allow Alertpay. I have like $50 in my account and I have never drawn the money out. I think I can just transfer it to my bank account I just havent done it. Its been in there for about a year. I should probably log in and see if its still there just to be safe since I know I havent spent it and hope nothing happened to it.

They charge various fees to send my money to my bank account so I chose for them to send me a check. What I didnt realize was that they would do a $4 check processing fee. I had $69.01 in my alertpay account and it was still in there. I did a payment request via a check and it they sent me a confirmation email that it is being processed. I wonder if the fee to send my money to my bank account would have been cheaper then them taking $4 out of my money to send me a check ugh.

Please, if you discover something, tell us about it. This sounds serious as many sites that look very legit are using only AP. Thanks!!!

here in Australia, we can add our bank account to Alert pay & withdraw straight to our bank account just like we can with paypal...have you tried doing that?

I have not chequed that, but if the fee is too big, it´s not worth it because the earnings we get with international sites are small. And maybe I would have to go to my Bank and check and now that I´m on chemo I´m not going out if I can because my defenses are low.

You should be able to check through alertpay if you are able to do this as there was a place in alertpay for me to add my bank account.

I didn't know this and I checked out Alertpay, trying to withdraw to my credit card, but it appeared that credit card withdraw is currently unavailable. I hope that they will fix it, but if not, I will ask a check payment, or I will transfer my money on Moneybookers or I will invest it somewhere, maybe on Neobux or other legit site. This way, after a while, I will be able to withdraw that money on my Paypal account and after that on my credit card.
I will try to remain calm and I think Alertpay will resolve the issues. Visa and MasterCard are the greatest cards, so they have to accept them.

Check also sites where you can buy things with AP. It´s better than losing your money. Check Amazon and other sites for books and CDs or whatever you want to buy. I´ll try to do that too.

I certainly don't want to loose money at all, because it is hardly earned money. If that will be the only possibility I will buy some stuff from the Internet, and maybe then I will re-sell it, maybe at a bit higher price.

I must say that Alertpay gives me lots of troubles. I had experienced being cheated to transfer it with someone online. A few days ago I wanted to withdraw it by bank wire since Alertpay doesn't support withdraw by check or credit card. I already accept the bank wire cost is USD15. But Alertpay even neither said my bank name is invalid nor my bank account information is invalid. I don't think so since I withdrew money from Paypal with this bank information without any problems. So finally I seeked someone who would do the Alertpay transaction with me. I transferred him Alertpay money and he transferred me Paypal money. Of course the rate is not good for me, but at least I can withdraw it to my bank and perhaps its cost is not up to USD15 anyway. But this kind of method is still risky and I felt worried in the procession. Since I was afraid I would be cheated again.
I love China

I was really surprised and disappointed when I found out that alertpay wouldn't let me do deposits or withdrawals to my bank account any more. Now I don't have a way to fund my account. I don't know if I will use sites that only use that only any more unless I start getting some payments from sites using it. Oh well...

Well, if the owners of these sites would like to keep their sites as legitimate sites, then the only option that they really have is to find alternative payment processors. With that said, I've always been a person that will only work on sites that offer PayPal as a payment option because I've had paypal for a long time and it is a money site that I actually trust and I'm actually afraid to try out another payment site.

Well i have created an account with alertpay long back, since i don't use it for payment processing i am not worried at all, what makes me worried is my paypal account, you can see that in 3 discussions of mine.
i pray for you, get well soon,
Thanks for sharing
Best of luck.

It seems that paypal has had a lot of issues with India, Bhuwar. I don´t understand why they will pick on people who are earning cents instead of going against big thieves.
Thanks for your prayers, friend. I don´t want to talk about my illness until I get the results from my tests. Meanwhile, I am being possitive and will not think about the posibility that all is wrong. There´s just a little wait yet.
