Got AlertPay(PayPal Alternative)! Where To Use It Now?
- 4 Comment
Enter your name and email only to get information
Now that you have a free AlertPay account(PayPal Alternative), you may say to yourself: "Where to use it now?"
Here are simple solutions:
- If you have a blog/site, you could accept AlertPay payments from advertisers. Not every country has access to PayPal. It could generate new possibilities for you.
- You could offer to pay a logo designer with AlertPay. I just thought of it. :p
- To accommodate clients, I accept being paid with AlertPay on 1 Cool File, TrustURL and with my own software AuctionSiteWriter.
- Using a contest is another option to pay people
Many affiliate sites are now paying with AlertPay only.
The ideal is to start using AlertPay to receive payments. The more people knows about it, the more you can start using it on other sites like mines. Plus, the fees are a bit lower than PayPal. 
Do you have your free AlertPay account yet! It's my PayPal Alternative(backup payment processor)
P.S.
I Made $40 In A Few Minutes With AlertPay because I used it
Edit 2008/06/26: I added AuctionSiteWriter

No, I don’t but the more webmasters start to use it, the better.
When it start to be more popular, PayPal might want to lower their fees to compete.
At least, I’m doing my small part

Currently using the free account, meaning no fees for inbound or outbound transfers.
Things that annoy me:
- transfer from a canadian bank account to alertpay account not instant (we’re in the same country!). The website states 2-5 b-days. On my first transaction, after 6 b-days and no activity, I called them and they did it within 10 minutes with kind appologies. Second transaction, after 4 days I called trying to speed it up, and was given a terse denial.
- If you need to make a payment in a currency other than your bank’s currency, by the time the transfer is over (see above) the exchange rate might have changed. In my case by 5 dollars, and my safety window of 3 dollars was not enough. So I had to do another transaction (see above).
The seller is getting nervous with a 2 week payment delay.July 2nd, 2008 at 6:47 pm -

That’s not good.
Why do you think I’m charging in CAD with AuctionSiteWriter? Because of the currency exchange. Yes, I lose some pennies but I gain on time saved. When I did my income taxes(2007), I had to go to every transaction and convert it to Canadian currency for that day.
Of course if our dollar, go down to $0.90, I would convert back to it.
So far, I did not do any bank transfer but it’s good to know that it may take longer. In your case, it was 1 day more than the espected maximum of 5 days. If you did your transaction last week, banks were closed on Tuesday last week(Quebec Day). That could be the cause of your delay. Yesterday was Canada day so add one more day
