BillPoint

Pros: Easy way to send money
Cons: You have to give your bank info

Of all the money sending services on the net, I like Billpoint the best.

Like Paypal, Billpoint is a way to send and receive payment via the internet even credit card payments. You will pay a fee (after their promotion is over) for this...

Pros: Quick and Easy
Cons: Seller's fee for each payment

Now, all I see is negative critics to Billpoint, well let me tell you my case.

I live in Spain (Europe) and won an ebay auction. I couldn't pay with my VISA through PayPal because my credit card doesn't have the PayPal required three...

Pros: eBay's payment system; Accepts credit card accounts
Cons: Expensive; Transfers do take time

For a number of years now, Paypal has dominated the e-mail-based payment system. It has been a godsend to many of us who have items to auction. It has thousands of users. (Please take a look at my review of Paypal!). In 1999, Paypal partnered with...

Pros: international buyers can use
Cons: eats up mor of your profit.

I signed up for billpoint just because I was curious and thought it might help my international sales. So far in 2 months, 7 people have tired to pay me with billpoint. 3 have been successful. The other people got the typical Ebay run around and...

Pros: save a $1 for each transaction if you sign up your VISA
Cons: a bit time consuming

NOTE: This epinion is from a buyer's point of view only. I haven't had any experience with this service from a seller's point of view.


I initially heard about Billpoint when I was browsing some ebay auctions. A seller had Billpoint's...

Pros: International payments, transaction summaries, creates an invoice
Cons: Expensive, there are free alternatives

Billpoint is an online billing and payment system that allows Ebay buyers to pay sellers securely and easily. But why should sellers pay Billpoint's fees when they can accept payments for free through PayPal and other services?

The...

Pros: integrated with Ebay
Cons: fees, fees, and more fees

Billpoint has one main advantage that gives it an edge over EVERYONE: its alliance with Ebay. If you're a serious seller on Ebay, and you want payment fast, this is definitely a good service. The PayMe logo (if you selected Instant Payment at the start...

Pros: Conveniently bundled with Ebay
Cons: Bully tactics to wipe out competition

As an avid user of Ebay, I have used Billpoint many times. I find it convenient to use as it is bundled with Ebay and provides your bidder fast access to "checkout" and pay for their auctions with a credit card or online check. However the downfall to...

Pros: Allows you to accept credit card payments
Cons: slow on deposits to your account(s)

I have used BillPoint for about 3 years now, since EBAY
started to offer the on line payment option.

They have several benefits.
1. You can accept on line credit card payments.
2. BillPoint sends you an email confirming...

Pros: Ease of use
Cons: Cost to sellers

Billpoint works fine - but that's not the point.

As far as ease of use I would have to say that Billpoint, on eBay at least , is easier to use for sellers and buyers. However, it costs the seller money. There you have it in a nutshell. I have...

Pros: eBay sponsored.
Cons: eBay sponsored.

As a long time eBayer, I kept seeing that BillPoint logo up in the corner and kept wondering what it was all about. When I finally looked inside, I decided that the price was too high. I subsequently joined PayPal, which has filled my needs, and then...

Pros: Seems like an up and up company unlike Paypal. They use precautions.
Cons: Not cautious enough.They don't verify physical addresses of regristrants. Invoicing Problems. Embarrassing email policy.

I don't Paypal or Billpoint that much, but I'll do my best to make this a brief informative picture of Billpoint.

SECURITY PROBLEMS OR SLOPPY BANKING

Billpoint in the past month, emailed my customers with invoices that do not match...

Pros: Can send money via electron check
Cons: Fees, Payment delay,

Billpoint is one of the Internet's newest way to send cash online. I sell a lot on Ebay and was very impressed with paypal. Since Billpoint was promoted so much by Ebay, I decided to give it a try. I was very disappointed with their service. First of...

Pros: None!
Cons: Charge fees for something you can get for free!

Billpoint is just another way for Ebay to get their greedy little hands on more of our money. Billpoint is a way for Ebay sellers to accept credit card payments - but Billpoint charges the SELLER fees to make it convenient for the buyers.

I...

Pros: They take Discover
Cons: The fake, dumbed-down, really bad version of PayPal

I joined eBay long before they had BillPoint payment services available. Soon after I joined eBay, PayPal came out, and was an extremely popular payment service. Many people were using their credit cards on PayPal to pay for items thru auctions. eBay...
