PayPal alternatives?
I've never had a problem with PayPal until recently, and now I understand why many have screamed about them for a long time. If there is one little glitch or error, they lock things up and it takes FOREVER to resolve.

So, for digital sales (rather than hard goods), can anyone suggest good alternatives you feel are safe and reliable?

Thanks!

1. Get your own merchant account and accept credit cards directly.
A fast way to do it is by using Intuit's QuickBooks Simple Start. They work with a merchant banker that's friendly to small and micro businesses doing online sales. Approval is virtually automatic, as long as you have a decent credit score.

I used it a few years ago with my little internet mineral specimen sales business. I had approval in two days after installing Simple Start. The program is great for invoices and record-keeping, too. Check the Intuit website for more info.
