What's the best alternative to PayPal?

If you are asking to recommend the best alternative to PayPal payment processor, which one would you be pointing out?

It's obvious that PayPal isn't available everywhere, so having an alternative wouldn't be a bad idea.

The two most common payment processor alternative for PayPal is Payoneer and Skrill. I haven't tried both of them yet. I am satisfied with PayPal and I don't see any reason for using another payment processor.

I've heard that Payoneer is also great and has services on par with PayPal. Although I haven't tried it myself, I believe Payoneer is great and reliable based on the many positive feedback that I've heard and read from various sources. I'm going to try to use it soon though I don't see anything wrong with PayPal.

I think pioneer because pioneer has a better forex exchange which makes a freelancer makes a higher profit on every job that he gets always think wisely and learn more about freelancing in order to know what is better.

I am not that familiar with similar services to those of paypal but I would say that Payoneer is probably the best one out there, along with paypal.

I am currently and solely using PayPal. I haven't tried any other payment processor but I heard from my friends and colleagues that Payoneer is also great and easier to access. I also heard rumors that Payoneer has less processing fee compared to PayPal, though I have no way of confirming this because, as of this moment, I don't have any plans of transferring to Payoneer.

Payoneer sounds nice, the bad thing about is that you have to pay $30 a year for your credit card. Skrill seems to be taking relevance as a payment processor. Uphold is also another good option since it lets you convert bitcoin to other currencies, this to offset the negative liquidity of bitcoin.

In our country, G-Cash is gaining more popularity over time. Though, it's currently popular here. We still can't leave PayPal as it's very helpful when we get our money from freelancing jobs

I know PayPal is now the most popular payment processor, but there's a few others that I've used in the past. I used Neteller, Skrill and Payoneer and was generally happy.
I also had a few clients pay me with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Dogecoin.

I'm actually not familiar with Neteller. Is it any way better than PayPal?

Well PayPal is undoubtedly the most popular and reliable payment gateway available in the market with a proven track record. I always do all my transactions through PayPal and I have not encountered any major issues till now. I think that other than PayPal, Payoneer seems to be somewhat reliable option prefered by many people.

Besides PayPal, I haven't used any other payment processor. However, several freelancer friends use Skrill and claim to be satisfied.

I'm using Neteller, Web Money, PayPal and I recently got Payoneer which I haven't used yet because it still is having issues here in the Philippines. It doesn't have a local gateway partner and that means the only way of getting your money is by transferring it to your bank account which has high charges.

I think that when it comes to some alternative to PayPal I would choose Payooner because of the great options and benefits that we can get from using it. Although most of the time I am using PayPal but sometimes I am using Payooner whenever some of my freelancing sites requires it for me to use.

I haven't use other payment processor except Paypal. It's available in our country. It's one of the trusted and reliable for so many years. Thou, I heard of Payooner but I haven't tried using it. Some reviews stated that Payooner is better than Paypal in terms of exchange rate. But, I could not prove this since I have no experience. Maybe in the near future if the availability of service is visible.

Personally I can't say there's an alternative for PayPal, because all the companies I do freelancing work for are paying me with PayPal. But overall, I used to use Payza, but it's not so popular anymore. Guess I'd vouch for PerfectMoney, Payeer, and Skrill. But I prefer the first two as they are very user friendly.

Payoneer. It's as popular as Paypal (okay, maybe almost), and functions almost the same as Paypal (convenient and simple). Payza might be another alternative but I don't think it's as popular as Paypal or Payoneer so some people might not give out payments through that. There's no "best" alternative anyways, you have to find that out yourself through research and gut-feeling.

The two payment options I was able to get into are Payooner and PayPal. Charge are less with Payooner so you can get more earning. I have seen many options here from other members and I would love to try other options for receiving payment.

Indeed the flat pricing of the payoneer is lot better than paypal. But only difference being payoneer requires a bigger amount 20$ onwards for processing. In case of paypal they can process as low as 1$ or so. In such case people who are earning small money tend to like paypal for that reason. But in serious payouts, I'd say payoneer wins by miles.

I've only used PayPal and yes it's not available everywhere so it depends on where or what you're going to use it for. If they only accept PayPal and you live in a country where PayPal isn't available then any alternatives out there is going to be useless for you.

I wont say the best but payoneer and transferwise are lot better for the payouts. I have noticed that many freelancers are moving away from the paypal and switching to the payoneer and transferwise. Most of the known freelancers that I have seen that they need to work on the projects that can be pretty good enough with the high payouts. In such case by using payoneer and transferwise there is alot of fees that can be saved.

Having an alternative is great but the problem is that most online job sites ask only for PayPal which can be frustrating. Payoneer is a good alternative. I have used it and it has been great so far. You can withdraw your money directly to your account. I've heard that Skrill is also good but I haven't tried it.

I would actually recommend Payoneer and Neteller since I have both accounts. But it still boils down to what is available in your country. I used this two aside from Paypal. I am also considering Skrill. But I think it's the same with Neteller.

My first choice is Paypal. Then second would be Payoneer. I find Payoneer easy to use than the others, especially in my country. So Paypal and Payoneer for me. Third, would be Skrill. But I would only use Skrill if I don’t have any choice or if Paypal and Payoneer are not available options.

I have been with Paypal for a long time now and I have no issues with it whatsoever. But I am surprised to know that Paypal is not available everywhere because all the while I thought that Paypal is a world-renowned money remittance center. Anyway maybe Payoneer is also good because I have been reading about Payoneer in many discussions not only in this forum but in other forums as well.
