There are a few alternative services, but they're not anywhere near as useful as PayPal. Nearly everyone takes PayPal.

Banks in the US are just now starting to let people send funds via email. A system for that has been in place in Canada for a while.

Amy,

when I can, I use Amazon payments but that perhaps isn't the best way for things like ebay. It's been a long time since I used ebay.

Square looks like something I would want (and their card case app): [link]

but that isn't ideal for something like ebay.

There's still not a lot of retailers who use it. And I think it costs me a buck for every transactions, but that may just be money transfers via email.

I love the idea of Square/Card Case, but I don't know of any stores that actually use it. Seems to be more common closer to Silicon Valley.

I see it used a lot by local arts & crafts vendors. Really makes sense if you are doing the market/fair circuit.

A lot of the food trucks out here use Square.

Because books.

I was thinking more for the personal ways people tend to use it, such as here, although I can see Square being great for vendors.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Ugh. I've got some active items on eBay right now and a few more to do by the end of the week, but once those are all cleared I'm closing my PayPal account. That's... that's just rancid.
