I can send money, but not receive money. Due to that, my only option is credit card. After all, most users whom have paypal accounts have a credit card which they use to upload funds to paypal.

The main gripes I have about Paypal is that it customizes the payment page based on the user. i.e. If the user had logged into PayPal before on that computer(read cookies), it shows only a PayPal login. The CC details sections below the fold or not at all sometimes. I've found this confuses some customers who have Paypal accounts but want to pay using CC.

I'm sure you've come across sites like nopaypal.com and paypalwarning.com that you probably dismissed as disgruntled scamming users (just like I did). But a recent experience with paypal has me completely convinced otherwise. Paypal is not entirely safe or reliable. I still use them because I have to. But if I had an alternative, I would say good bye to paypal forever. If you want specific information on my experience, feel free to PM me on SP. Good luck! Dan,

The first checkout step is either creating an account or logging in to an existing one. Previously, after doing either, the customer would be shown an order summary and payment options page where they could choose between PayPal and a form to enter credit card info. Now, if the user logs in, they're sent to that page with both options, but if they fill out the registration form as a new customer, they're sent directly to PayPal. I think it works really well since PayPal's new payment page designs match the look and feel of my checkout pages very closely, so it's a seamless transition. So far this morning, it's looking good.

I hope it all works out well! Are you going to keep your older, more reliable customers on credit card still? Good luck. I hope it all works out well!
