| There are a lot
of payment options which are offered by various
websites, the most popular options after a check (cheque)
are Paypal , E-Gold & Stormpay. Here we list the
features of these options.
Paypal
Paypal is an E-Bay company providing payment
solutions. In simple terms, it offers services
similar to that offered by banks. You open an
account with Paypal (personal accounts are free,
while business accounts require you to pay a small
transaction fee), then you can send or receive money
to anybody having an email address. It uses SSL
(Secure Socket Layer) technology to encrypt &
protect your data. This is the latest technology for
data protection on the internet & works very well.
Your email address is your username. You can have
Paypal wire you the amount in your Paypal account
into your bank account or have them mail a check to
your address. It has a very wide acceptance.

Business Accounts in Paypal
Paypal also offers Business & Premier accounts. If
you want to receive money through Credit Cards on
your website or want some of the other special
feature it offers, then it is a good idea to get a
Premier account. You pay a small fee normally 2.4%
to 3.4% + $0.30 per transaction (on the receiving
side, sending is free). If you are a small company
then this is a great value for money offer as you do
not have to invest in any gateway or other
technology, while at the same time you get all the
benefits of the latest technology to protect your
customers` data. Its a great service they are
offering & at a nominal cost.

accept E-Gold. You can send "E-Gold" to anyone
having an E-Gold account.
It is completely free to open an E-Gold account.

StormPay
StormPay is a company providing Payment
solutions. While its services are moderate, it does
charge you for most services. So it can turn out to
be expensive to have a Stormpay account if you use
it only occasionally or already have a Paypal
account. You could consider it for a business
account, but its charges are more than Paypal.
