    Default Alternatives to PayPal

    If anyone uses alternatives to PayPal and can share experiences, good and bad, please do so. Currency exchange is an important point. I am researching now.

    TIA

    Square Cash. No buyer protection, it's more like PayPal friends/family, and I'm not sure on currency exchange, as I've never used it for that.

    -Square
    -Venmo
    -Amazon Pay
    -Visa Checkout
    -Masterpass

    All alternative methods to paying online...
    Square is the most popular (aside from Amazon), you can login in, and pay with your saved information.
    A vendor can also send you a Square Invoice.

    I once had a European purchase where they asked that I used the service Skrill. I have no idea as to where it stands in the list of these services but worth checking.

    Mostly because it's not as easy as everyone makes it out to be, and converting it to useable funds can be a pain sometimes.

    I mostly use a prepaid credit card for any purchases online. I stopped using Pay Pal a good while back.
