Ok maybe I can help shed some light on your dilema, IF your going to setup an online shop you need to have an efficient and fully secure webhost, I would recommend siteground as its webservers are secured by two hardware firewalls and one software firewall, ( gotta love linux servers ) secondly, paypal is fine, but there are some flaws but that is the same just as if you was using a credit card to pay for an item. Siteground hosting offers fantastico installation files, which has a vast repository for websites, including secure payment for ecommerce shopping. for just $4.99 a month. but it's worth it. if you need any help. just gimme a holla.

I can't use paypal. As per rules of mylot, ikobo is the alternative. I dont know where to fill the details. The edit page for payment details dont give ikabo option. It ask abt paypal details only. What to do?

I will definately look into siteground, I would pay R350.00 ($44.00)here for a hosting company to set me up a eshop, compared to siteground R40.00 ($5.00) (rounding it off). Thank you I REALLY appreciate this, I have been trying for more than 3 months now, South Africa is allowed with most payments, but I CAN NOT transfer it to my bank here. To set up a merchant account here in South Africa you can only open it if you have an income of R40 000 ($5 000) a month going through your merchant account. But what they do not understand is how can you earn if you do not have a payment method, sigh! sometimes I just do not understand these banks

I find nothing wrong with Paypal, easy to use, acceptable by Ebay. That's all I can see myself using it for though. It's very safe providing you don't go and give your password to someone. ;)

I've been using paypal for over a year now and have never had a problem. I did have someone try to get into my account once and paypal alerted me to the fact immediately so that I could change my password but besides that, they have been great.

Well you know I tried to sign up with paypal. they emailed me, and told me to put in all my iformation. I should of keep reading my email to the bottom of my page, because it said to put in any information because when they emailed me it was not monitor I but in routing bank account number it did not register so I din't know who else got the information.

If you run real business you can always check with your local bank to seek advise.

Paypal is extremely safe to use. I have been using them for five or six years with no problems what so ever. E-gold and credit cards are a good method to recieve payment as well.

paypal is cool,but if you mess with them you will be eliminated,they are easy on the trigger so only do legit things,no ponzi schems or something like that.
