Hello fellow Mylotters. I am wondering who uses Alipay here, and what troubles if any have you experienced. I am thinking about getting an account with them, but of course I am concerned they may not be as trustworthy as our good old paypal is. How safe is Alipay? Who runs Alipay? How long have you had your account with them? Thank you very much for your response.

Hello, firend, I am Chinese so I can help you. Alipay.com is the online bank of taobao.com, just like the relationship between Ebay and paypal,in china people may nor call it alipay but zhifubao,no matter what people call it it's most safe online payment bank,please register and use it without concern,I am really a cautious man when I use online bank surface but I use alipay.I ever got 130 RMB in my account and transfeerred it to my chinese tranditional bank (CCB-china construction bank) without charging me 1 cent fee,but in china mainland if I try to transfer paypal money to my chinese bank account,I should pay 20 dollars each time which is expensive to me,you may see if we use alipay in china it's very convenient and safe and hopefully my words could help you.

Thank you for your response. I had noticed a program I am involved in, the Gomez Peer offers Alipay as an alternative to Paypal. More than likely because of what you experienced, the paypal charges people in China or where ever. Like all new bank like institutions I am very cautious and do not want to join something that is going to disappear. Some of these things have gone away over the years. The only stable one that I am aware of is the PayPal. Hopefully this Alipay will be a good and reliable, and steady payment system.
