Exists a real alternative to paypal?

[SirLouen]

What I see that paypal offers is a dual benefit:

1. You can pay straightly from you CC. It's a payment processor, like Stripe
2. At the same time, your funding is "relatively well protected" by a pseudo-buyers protection

I know plenty of solutions that feature just one of the two, for example, Skrill is a protector, but is not payment processors, or Stripe is payment processor, but doesn't protect anyone.
Like Skrill there are many protection systems, but all I know need, forcefully to pre-fund the account, before paying. No straight payment processors.

But maybe, there is a solution that offers this two and I don't know it, payment processor + protection.

From what I know PayPal is the only one which offers something like this which people trust.
People will reply with use crypto but until that becomes more main stream it’s not a main option for payment on lots of sites.
Paypal is terrible in so many ways but useful in so many others. Always withdraw money out of PayPal never leave any big amount in there because they swing the axe on accounts when they like.

We have all received the Axe.
Cryptos dont have either the trust thing... yet
Still I look for something with regular currency in case it exists

Your own merchant account is best but of course, they do not accept PP but if it is only CCs that is the best way to go.

Should you not qualify Stripe or Square are the next best alternatives that I have come across... I use both of them.

If you need to accept PP and do not want to deal with PP then 2CO would be a good alternative.

None of those are going to protect you, with the exception of your own merchant account (they can only go to bat for you and not really protect you), as the buyer's CC company is going to protect them and they control the process in all reality.

You do need to see if they support the products or services you provide as well as if they support your GEO as they do have restrictions.
