PayPal's grasp of the eBay market and small website resellers might be coming to an end. Just recently, Paymate has entered the scene here in the U.S. Last week I was on a call with Paymate and discovered this payment processing alternative to PayPal.

Paymate was actually on the scene in the early days with eBay. They dissappeared when eBay bought PayPal and made them their main payment option for their wildly successful auction site. Now eBay has approved Paymate as another alternative for eBay sellers as a payment method.

Paymate's big advantage over PayPal's standard method is that you don't have to be a Paymate user to make a payment. The customer enters their credit card on the payment page so they do not have to go signup with an account like they do with PayPal. For the one-time or occasional seller on eBay, PayPal accounts are great. But if you are a small merchant on eBay and elsewhere, you are taking more than an occasional payment from customers. Paymate gives your customers a simpler experience to shop with you making it a better alternative to PayPal. You can read more about paymate on their website at www.paymate.com.

You don't need to be a Paypal user to make a payment too
And the fees are almost similar: 3.4%+0.25 for paypal vs 3%+0.5 for paymate.
