Should I use PayPal or other services for my payment gateway? I want to figure out what to use for forum group upgrades.

Yep, you need to use PayPal. There's not a really a decent alternative around. The next best thing is probably Payza, and I don't know anyone who actually uses it.

I recommend PayPal. It's very popular, fast, and easy to use. You can easily keep track of payments from your members and transfer fees are minimal, so everyone can save money.

PayPal is the best by far. It's safe, secure, simple (usually) and is the most trusted by people in general.

PayPal is definitely one of the most reliable payment processors around. It's been active for many years now and has also been #1 for most, if not all, of that time. It's pretty secure and allows people to make payments from their PayPal account, credit/debit card, and more. The options that payers have makes PayPal really good for things like user group upgrades and more on forums.

Paypal is definitely the best one to use. It's safe, secure and the most popular one out there. Almost everyone uses Paypal.

I used paypal for a year, I personally didn't hate it. I was tracking my income / invoicing there, my expenses somewhere else, and my banking elsewhere. I switched to Payoneer because I run my business like a business. All my expenses and income are tracked properly and in one place, invoicing, payroll, banking, etc. The reports are also very helpful. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my transition and I would recommend it. Do not forget to check the good article How to use Payoneer

I'd highly recommend paypal. I've been using them since I was able too (My first debit card) and have had no problems with them. All of my payments online tend to go through paypal, and I haven't had an issue with them. One of the best things about paypal is even if someone doesn't have a paypal, on the payment page they can choose to simply use their card in a super secure area.

PayPal. I have used it for two years and no problem! It is also the most known.

PayPal is honestly the only way you should go. I wouldn't trust many of these "new" sites that offer their own gateway, PP is trusted and that might help get customers.

Use PayPal. They are legit and their customer service is satisfactory.

 

[BriGuy]

I would recommend PayPal over most of the other services. They are more widely known so it's a no brainer. You could offer other options along side them so people have a choice.

 

[GamesToEnjoy]

Definitely Paypal it the best.

BTW if you want to calculate the fee you pay to Paypal,
I wrote a nice calculator you can use: http://www.convertforfree.com/paypal-fee-calculator/

 

[Dozzer]

I would definitely use paypal. There's a reason so many people use it.

PayPal is your safest bet. Cheers!

 

[Danielle Davidson]

I think that PayPal would be the best bet. At least you know the site that you're using is totally safe. I'm very careful where I put the money that I earn, and I only put mine into PayPal.

 

[Tom WHE]

PayPal without a doubt your best option.

 

[Fel1x]

PayPal is also a large company that offers great customer service if you have any difficulties.

 

[KeenHoney]

Let's face it, they are pretty much the king of payment systems. They are known the world over, and everyone is using them. I think it would be in your best interest to use them.

I have honestly never used any other place! I find most people have or use Paypal these days because it is the most secure in my opinion. You can use any method of pay through them now so no reason to look elsewhere.
