5 alternatives to Paypal

Paypal belongs to ebay. Purchases and sales on the marketplace* are to a large extent handled via Paypal. However, other providers and online stores, such as Zalando, dress-for-less and book.de or also airlines, like Qatar Airways, Air Berlin and Lufthansa, and travel enterprises, like 9flats and Travelbird, offer Paypal as payment possibility.

Paypal has become a fixture on the internet and a major financial pillar in the ebay group. 230 million in 193 countries around the world have a Paypal account. #Update: In the meantime, ebay and Paypal have parted ways.#

Paypal advertises with the security when paying, but the service is not particularly versatile. There are competitors who can do a much better job. Even if their acceptance, especially in the German trade still leaves a lot to be desired. But the competitors have still much before and want to push the market leader Paypal with more service and additional offers of the pedestal. The more attractive fee models from the customer’s point of view should help in any case.
