I have been using pay pal forseveralmonths now and recently they told me I had to sign up for a business account. I didn't want to for I just accept payments thats all. I don't need all the other so called services. But is there another company that is as easy to use but also reliable?

I use Yahoo PayDirect. I have had no problems with it. It is free to both buyer and seller. It is a little slower getting your money, but it is safe.

Sorry to burst your little bubble, but Yahoo Paydirect is NOT safe. Yahoo makes it very clear that if the buyer charges it back or uses a stolen credit card, the seller loses - period. They get no chance to provide proof of shipment. There was a post in the Seller Zone a while ago where a Yahoo buyer paid for several auctions with Paydirect and then charged them all back. She claimed that her card was used without her permission. Then she continued to use Paydirect and charge other things back. Even Paypal would have shut her down by then but Paydirect let her continue on as long as they were able to stick the sellers for the loss. One seller lived close enough to go to her home town and file a complaint at her local police department. She was arrested, claimed the whole thing was a mistake and paid for everything. Unfortunately, fraudulent charge backs are not treated seriously. I would recommend dealing with a payment service that makes an effort to protect their customers, both buyers and sellers, and not just stick someone else for the tab. The best credit card service, currently free, is Western Union's Moneyzap and the best electronic payment service, also free, is Achex.

I used Yahoo/Paydirect to pay for an auction, and the money NEVER got to the seller, yet went on my credit card. Yahell messed up and wasn't sending out their auto e-mails for like 24 hours and the necessary link for the seller to get his money wasn't in his paydirect account. It's been well over a month, and yahell refused to fix their mistake. The seller and I both just get form e-mails back from them and it's obvious they never even read what we say.

Even though Yahoo paydirect lets you enter a couple different emails.......that doesn't mean those extra emails have the ability to accept transactions.
I've had to go into my account and go back and forth a few times changing the main email addy just to accept a payment.
I hope they fix it soon.
