An alternative to Paypal

I am sure I am not the only one that winces at the rather absurd fees Paypal collects when we exchange money with each other.

Is it possible for us as a group to agree on an alternative money exchange site that does not dry bend us over a barrel?

money order at bank: 6.50

certified cheque: 6.50

typical postage, 0.51-0.95 cents

typical fees for credit card transations if you are a retailer: 2.5~3.5% (less if you become a member of the canadian chamber of commerce)


i think for the average transaction the fees are very reasonable for the level of convenience offered.

There was a whole thread with the same question a couple of weeks back. Try a search in the forum.

Google checkout and revolutionary money exchange are the two more reliable alternatives.
