Payment Processor Alertpay

I usually write longer posts, but to get to the point what is your experience with Alertpay Please write any problems you've had, what you don't like about it, what you like about it, anything else and please be descriptive. The reason I need to know about Alertpay is because a few sites I am on will only pay out with Alertpay. But everytime I go to that site, I just get this weird feeling, and I always feel this barrier that keeps me from putting my bank account information on the site. For some reason Paypal seems more friendly whenever I look at the logo and site, Alertpay's a little different....So if anyone could post any info please help me out here! Remember to be as descriptive as possible. Thanks a bunch and happy Mylotting!

I don't get the same feeling as you concerning AlertPay. Till now its been a good payment processor and I have never had any problems with it. Still it cannot be compared to PayPal, but its ok. I think that most sites choose AlertPay because its less strict than PayPal - they don't suspend accounts that often. The only thing that I don't like about it is the 3 euro fee for transferring funds to your bank account, whilst PayPal has no fee if the amount is above 100 euros (or dollars, not sure)

I have a quick question, are you a verified user? if so how was the process of getting verified? and is getting verified the only way to cashout? As for the 3 euro fee I don't mind that I just need to be able to cashout conveniently.

I am not verified yet. I just use it for purchases at the moment, like upgrades, etc.

I have gotten the same feeling from Alertpay. I have not been able to be verified. I do not qualify for any of their forms of verification. As for a cashout- I have not attempted yet. I am skeptical to place my account information there.........it gives me a strange feeling.

I definitely agree with you on that one, about the strange feeling. But I am still willing to give it a chance, I'm just really not into the verification process they setup there, and what I'm most interested in is to be able to cash out conveniently.

i also prefer paypal compare to alertpay in some ways and it is easier to verify yourself in paypal... alertpay charges more fees for transferring your money to your bank account while paypal is free... it is much simpler and more convenient compare to alertpay... overall, i still prefer paypal... i have some money in alertpay which i don't know what i want to do because i'm not a verified member there... take care and have a nice day...

Yes paypal is great and the verification process is easier and convenient, and I know alertpay isn't as great as paypal but I HAVE to use it for a few sites I am on.

actually i havent had any transactions with alertpay till now so i dont use it as most of the site which i joined and which payed via alerpay were scams.actually alertpay is not that bad also paypal is better but alertpay is good.it is just our mindset people have told us that they got from paypal site and all stuff so we think that paypal is superior and we dont consider alertpay or any other site only.alertpay is good i had once heard that a girl invested her cash in a scam site via alertpay and then she contacted alertpay and they successfully got her money back the worst part of alertpay is that the site charges 15$ if you wanna casgout the money via cheque that is why i dont like the site much.but i think like other site it will also be good.

Yes I love paypal too, but some sites just don't accept paypal, and I really don't mind the 15 dollar transaction fee cuz I'll be making way more than that, I just want to be able to cashout with no hassles!

I think Alertpay is ABSOLUTLY unfriendly. You have to show them your underwear to become a verified member. So I bypassed them: all the money I get there from online earnings goes to neobux to rent referrals. Then I cashout through peypal. At paypal I didnĀ“t have to show them that I owned my house to become verified. And from there I can withdraw my money easily. Besides, not many places accept Alertpay but many accept paypal. I hope this helps.

Ughh...that's an absolute turnoff, Paypal's verification process is way smoother and simpler and they don't go sniffing around your pants to verify you. I asked the other commenter, but is it true that if you don't get verified you cannot get paid? Even through your bank account?
