Today online Shopping has been an open gate for both Seller and Buyer. Every day millions of Products are bought through secured shopping gateway. As a payment processor , most of us use PayPal .It is one of widely spread online Payment tool other than Google Checkout. Although they have great feature , they lack the basic good response and customer support. In fact , they are many personal accounts frozen daily. If you google search for “PayPal scam“ or “paypal fraud” , you may come up with many site dedicated purely against PayPal . Even a week ago, there was trouble Withdrawing Money to Bank account. So if you are looking for alternative payment solution like PayPal , here is Neteller .

Neteller is one of the best payment processor that is growing today. There are many advantages and disadvantage over PayPal . I have been using Neteller for two months and was happy to use them , that’s why i am sharing my experience with you ! Let’s start talking about it .

First of all, you have many countries were the service is not available in PayPal. They have one of top secured site like PayPal . You get Account Number , Secure ID  and user-generated Password while signing up. Only Account number is shared so Secure ID and Password are tough task for the hackers to steal your money .  This company is authorized and regulated in UK and across Europe by Financial Services Authority . They have a quick response for any support unlike PayPal. You get email reply with in 24 hours time frame and for phone support , you need to fill the Request a call form. They will call you back with in 2 to 5 hours . When i filled the “Request a Call form ” , i was contacted by Support team in less than half an hour in all the three instance.

There are two account type . Express and Extended. Express is the basic type when some one sign up and use it to transfer Money .

Currencies Supported are AUD, BGN, CAD, DKK, EEK, EUR, GBP, HUF, INR, JPY, LTL, LVL, MXN, NOK, PLN, RON, SEK, USD .

You can upgrade to Extended account by submitting

With Extended account you can withdraw funds , has high Deposit , Credit limits etc.

They provide both NET+ prepaid card and NET+ virtual card for Extended account . The NET+ prepaid card allows you to withdraw funds with low fees in any MasterCard accepted ATM . With Neteller app for PC(free) , you can use NET+ Virtual card. It helps you to get one time usable Card number providing you the highest level security while shopping online . Read Top Ten reason to use Virtual Card . You can use the cards to make purchase in 26 million Point of sale across the world. Getting and using these two NET+ card are free ! wonderful isn’t it ?

There is a disadvantage , i would tell for newbies. If you are not making a Transaction for 14 months ( not even a dollar) , you may end up with fine up to 30 USD . But if you are a merchant or worker earning huge / small money , you won’t find it as negative .

If you refer Merchants and People , can get some cash and Points when they deposit money !  I haven’t used any referral link in this post  yet if you like to join under me , you can contact me . I will be Happy to grab some cash :)
