    Unless you are selling through ebay avoid using paypal, fees are a joke and their support is painful to deal with

    Their fees are indeed high, but it seems that more and more customers, including B2B users like to use it and feel more secure.

    We offer it for our B2B online stores but always as the second option. We need any business we can get!

    Cheers

    Peter

    I use it on a couple of small ecommerce websites with small turnovers. Saves on merchant banking fees.

    In terms of security in various forms e.g someone cant access a stolen credit card to purchse items its also possibly for someone to use an unauthoised paypal account aswell to pay for goos and services.

    which is safer credit card or paypal in terms of protection for you ?

    thanks again
