I've stayed with them because of ease of use, excellence in delivering downloadable products, and low price. There are some cons, though, especially around the area of thank you emails.

E-junkie: I was with paydotcom. I switched to e-junkie.com and love it! You're right, it beats everyone hands down. Cost, security, ease of use, you name it. Can't praise it enough. Googlecheckout: I switched some e-books to them, and sales went down. (Not sure why) and the set-up process to "link" it to your adwords, I haven't figured out yet. A little more complicated, but I should do it as it would save (me anyway) about $150 a month in fees. Conclusion: Your solution is a good one and it works. E-junkie saved me $200 a month, easy. I don't have any problems with Paypal, (yet) but it's nice knowing that If I did, within 1 hour I'd be back to business with no loss of income. Moral of the story? Beware of ANYONE controlling your money. Always have a back-up plan. Good job and thanks again for the heads up. Hi Alexis,

And you're right, you should always have back-up for important business systems. I think when things are going well we tend to get too comfortable. This experience has surely given me a wake-up call. And hopefully it has done the same for others. Alexis Hi David,

You've done a lot of legwork, which now, I simply have to retrace. You've saved me ( a lot of others) a lot of time and aggrevation by sharing your experiences. While I haven't had a any problems with PayPal, it's probably a matter of time. Good business practices say you always have back-up for important systems in your business machine. You've provided probably the biggest one. Again, many thanks. Hi Alexis,

But 2Checkout (http://www.2Checkout.com) is another viable alternative, and I'm getting an account there as well. They accept merchants from all over the world, except for those in the following countries: * North Korea * Cuba * Iran * Sudan * Syria * Myanmar (Burma) So you should be okay there. And E-junkie integrates with 2Checkout as well. Alexis Hi Lesley,

You didn’t have a backup plan for Google Checkout at all did you?
