Alternatives to PayPal

Direct Deposit
Direct Deposit allows payers to deposit money into a payee's bank account. This is only recommended for trusted clients and employers as the payee provides some very personal details including bank name, account number and routing numbers. Many employers prefer Direct Deposit because it eliminates the printing and distributing of paychecks, and saves on postage.To receive payment, the payee fills out forms provided by the bank. Required information includes name, address and bank details. When the payer receives these details he enters them into an online form and sends it all to the bank. When it's time to pay, the person initiating the transaction enters the payment amount onto another online form and submits that information to the bank as well. The bank makes the payment and one to five days later, the payee receives it in his bank account.
ProPay
Though it's not as popular as PayPal, ProPay has been around for over a decade. Launched in 1997, ProPay allows payers to use credit cards to make payments to ProPay account holders. Account holders receive their funds via a special ProPay debit card, or they transfer ProPay funds directly into their bank accounts. All ProPay credit card transactions go through an immediate approval process. If the credit card isn't valid or doesn't have enough funds, the transaction doesn't take place. Approved transactions generally take three to five days to complete.
Google Checkout
Google Checkout is a popular PayPal alternative for e-commerce sites. This service is available to anyone with a credit card. Simply enter your name, address, phone number, email address and credit card details into the secure Google Checkout form. Now when you use a Google Checkout-approved vendor, the service automatically enters your details, saving you the trouble of having to continuously dig for your wallet during online shopping trips. Google will never give the merchant the full number for your credit card, ensuring your privacy and keeping your credit card number away from hackers.To check your transaction history, sign into Google Accounts. Everything purchased using your Google Checkout account is available for viewing. Because Google keeps your private details private, this option appeals to many people who would like to use PayPal but don't quite trust it to be secure.

How to Transfer Money With American Express

1. Log on to PayPal. If you do not have an account, you can set one up in about two to three days--enough time for PayPal to verify your bank account. Then you will be able to start sending and receiving money. The person you are sending the money to should have a PayPal account as well.
2. Link your PayPal account with your American Express card. Mouse over 'Profile' in the header tab. Click on 'Add Credit Card.' Click on 'Add a Card.' Click on the drop-down menu and select 'American Express.' Enter the Card and Verification numbers. Verify the billing address. Click 'Add Card.'
3. Scroll to the top of the screen and click on the 'Send Money.' Enter in the person's email address or mobile number. Enter in the amount of money and the type of currency you are sending. PayPal will charge your American Express card.
4. Review the amount before you send the money. This will send the money to the person instantaneously.
5. Contact the recipient and alert him that his money has been sent. If the person has a PayPal debit card, he can use the money right away. If not, he can keep the money in his PayPal account and spend it online where PayPal is accepted. He can also have PayPal transfer the money to his bank account, but that can take up to four business days.
6. Log on to MoneyGram's website to send money online. Make sure your American Express card is linked to your MoneyGram account. Click 'Send Online' and choose the country and the receive option. Enter the amount of money you are sending. The amount is sent automatically.

What Are PayPal Withdrawal Limits?

Unverified Accounts
As of March 2011, PayPal allows you to use its service with certain limits until you verify your personal information. PayPal states on its website that these restrictions are for security reasons. PayPal requests your credit card or bank account information but prefers the latter so it can send and withdraw money directly from your account and avoid the transaction fees associated with credit companies. It also requests your personal information to simplify the process of monitoring for fraudulent activities. Until you provide this information, PayPal places restrictions on your account that may only affect you if you make large or frequent transactions.
Your Withdrawal Limit
Until you verify your account, you may only withdraw a total of $500 per month from PayPal. You can receive payments of $300, $50, $20 and $30, for example, and still be within $100 of your limit for any given month. The beginning of the month for you may vary from other users since PayPal bases it on when you open your account. For example, if you open your account on the 15th of the month, your months start on the 15th.
Transaction Limits
You may send one payment of no more than $4,000 if you don't have a PayPal account, but you can't receive money through PayPal. If you do have an account, you can send up to $10,000 in a single transaction. With a verified account, there is no limit on the total amount of money you can send with PayPal; with an unverified account, there is a limit, which varies by user.
Lifting Your Limit
To learn the withdrawal and transaction limits on your PayPal account, sign in, click the 'My Account' link then click 'View Limits.' Click 'Lift My Limits' and follow the instructions to receive higher limits on your account. You may have to verify your account.
