PayPal warning - what alternative do you use?

[Steve Ashton]

While I do pay attention to who owns a particular company, and have changed companies at times, I have been using PayPal as my primary money service for on-line purchases and sales for just over 20 years now. Or just after Musk sold his share in it.
I am currently using PayPal to handle the sale of my book. $18,000.00 in printing costs. 1487 orders from all over the world, so the ability to handle different currencies is a major factor. Shipping to customers in, so far, 8 different countries.
I cannot say that I have ever had an instance of fraud hit my PayPal account.
While PayPal can be cumbersome to use at times it has stood me well and I will continue to use it. For now.
