Hi

Personally, I would recommend PayPal, which is having the better interface than Moneybooker. In U.S PayPal is still more popular. However, Egypt, Indonesia, Ghana, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and few African countries are restricted by PayPal, but this is not the always case with Moneybooker. According to Moneybooker's web site you can send and receive payment in more than 200 sountries.

Thanx

Hi

I think moneybooker has more popularity in Europe, because the company is based in UK so it is obvious that it will be more prefered by European countries. Any way now it is quite hard indicated which among more popular for payment methods in the world because there are other alternatives also available, but I belive PayPal is more popular. :drunk:

I prefer Paypal because that’s what i have been using for a good 4 years now. I would like to give my two cents worth about paypal though. It’s services and security is good. Remittance is received fast at two banking days max. When it comes to currency conversion though, clients are at the losing end. They charge 2.5% of the total transaction when you are changing between two currencies. That on high priced transactions, would be really costly.
