Do I Need ALL the Payment Processors?

Is it really necessary to be apart of all the payment processors? I am apart of PayPal, AlertPay, and Revolution Money Exchange. Should I sign up for the rest of them to? What do you think?

I am using only the first two you mention and I have no problems as most sites use either one or the other. I think there is no need to join others.

There are others like Liberty Reserve, and Egold, and I came across a site that didn't take paypal or alertpay. Strange. I guess I don't need it that bad. lol.

Are all of them for you to get paid? Most people use PayPal; I think some used to use Western Union (but I haven't heard anything about them for a while now). Unless they're tied to a specific website to get paid, I wouldn't think so.

I personally would stick with PayPal...they exchange more currencies and are more widely accepted than some of the other names you mention. You can also get a debit card from them.

I knew Western Union was a bank that you could send money to relatives and what not, but as far as I know, it's not like paypal. I'm just askign because I came across a "money site" that would accept anything but paypal, alertpay, and RME.

I'd recommend that you sign up for e-Gold also but I'd say that's about all you really need. At least for the moment since you never know when a new processor will come along or programs will start refusing to accept or pay through the ones you mention here. I don't know why they would but who know, right...lol? Annie

lol, you're right. I was just wondering if they were really worth signing up for. I guess if you get money through them, maybe it is worth it. Who knows, I'll stick with what I have and then think about signing up for others.

It seems to me that would be overkill. I signed up for quite a few when I started out and found out I really only use Paypal. I am a member of Alertpay and RME, but haven't use alertpay in about a year. I have never used RME. I find I can get by with just paypal. As long as you have a processor that you can be paid for from each of your programs I would not bother getting anymore. Good Luck.

Most sites give you several options, and I came across one site that didn't give any of the normal payment processors. I guess it wouldn't be worth my time. Thank you for your response!
