You've gotta get the PayPal option, it's so a must have!!!

I agree

PayPal would certainly make this service much better for the client and operator. Ether can charge a fee for it and everyones happy

I like the Paypal idea too.  Has this been brought up in suggestions?

Yes, PayPal is a must. I use it in all my other business transactions and it's great for international business when dealing in US$.

Got it, thanks -- we'll look into adding PayPal.

That would be nice. Because Paypal has a pay by phone option now.

Another vote for Paypal.

I also vote for a Pay Pal option.
Also, I want to suggest a Storm Pay option.  They work just like Pay Pal, but are more flexable-- www.stormpay.com

Hi Scott,

Ya, definitely look into the Paypal payment option

and thanks for listening to your customers on that.

And way to many websites to mention here

Yeah, Paypal is certainly a great option; with lower credit card processing fees too..!!

What about payouts to paypal? I'd personally really prefer it!  

OK, we'll look into that, too.

With paypal as an option clients will still be required to pre pay..... plus as a bonus for the staff here you would not have to mail out as many monthly checks,infact you make abit of cash ! This is a great website and I wish everyone here the best of luck!

Ya, I'm new to Ether so I haven't dealt with payout yet but in my other business experience online, getting paid via PayPal (into my bank account) has been great- like direct deposit, so much easier than having to deal with a check... though I didn't mind dealing with big AdSense checks when I used to get those ;-)

Thanks for Ether!

I don't agree that Paypal is a necessary on Ether at all. Firstly there are other options as some have mentioned eg: moneybookers etc...  But I don't see what is to be gained by paying a percentage to Paypal for the use of their service when Ether provides payment options of their own.. this is my opinion and I hope that there are more options and definately paypal is not compulsory - I personally also do not like paypal for the reason that they will do chargebacks easy enough and this would be a definate concern when charging for phone services that can and may be charged back .. how to deal with that I do not know

thx

I suppose it doesn't have to be paypal, but just the ability to get the cash to a digital online form is much quicker than supplying bank account or receiving via check. Having the option of PayPal is good because it is a well established company and so and so forth. Unlike many other online payment ecommerce sites , paypal is accepted by MANY stores. This would allow people a better option because if you use other sites and got the money on them they usually just supply bank / check withdrawls so there would be no point.

In the end I believe that PayPal is a great option, not for adding money to Ether accounts, but atleast for withdrawls.

We could have more than one payment option.  Paypal is just one of the most practical, because it's popular.
Personally, I would like there to be a way to take payments without having them go through a sign-up process, then enter their money information, and all that.  It would make more sense to take payments from members and non-members.
