Anybody know of a *good* domain registrar that accepts paypal payments? Doesn't have to be super cheap, but I'd prefer < $15

Why not get the PayPal debit card?

I don't know of any registrars that offer paypal. I do know that stargateinc.com will accept check/money order payments if you don't have a credit card.

Check out; http://www.namecheap.com.

If you look for the link or even email the head, Rick, he'll accept Paypal as payment.

I transfered a domain to them and I know for sure he'll accept Paypal on transfers -- he'll probably accept them for registering domains.

NameCheap resells through Enom.

You can probably find a few by going to search paypal.com's paypal shop directory.

My hosting service (hitspot.net) offers domain registration for $15/year with free ownership transfer- payment is only accepted via a paypal automated form.

Good luck on your search

Hello

Sorry, but I think no one with a serious business will go with paypal.

So if you want a good registar , he probably has a merchant account.

If you change your mind and just want a good registrar I suggest 000domains.com .

I have more than 20 domains with them ($13.5) without even one problem.

Good, friendly and fast support.

Regards,
Mac

Hey whats wrong with accepting paypal? I see alot of places that do. Hey if you want to lose a few customers because you dont thats your right but why put him down for accepting it?

$15 USD will get you a domain at Subhot Domain Name Registration www.subhost.com Thay accept paypal and a few other methods. I have used them over a year and have 8 domains registered there, Never had a problem. They don't have fancy control panels to manage dns or anything but they do offer dns managemnet and you can change your NS painlessly.

Reguards,
Jesse

The only real problem with accepting PayPal is that they take a much larger cut than our merchant account. It costs us more than twice as much to accept a PayPal payment as it does our standard merchant agreement.

We accept them, but it's not part of our automated process. We don't encourage PayPal, but if you prefer to pay via PayPal and use our slightly delayed, manual interface, we take them. We accept checks and money orders the say way. We'll take them, but there will be some delay in getting your domain registered.

If you want immediate domain registration, use our merchant account any pay with a major credit card. If you don't mind the delay, you may pay with a number of other methods. We have support people who will manually process your order when they are not doing something else. It's a fair use of labor on our end, and you can pay with many options on your end.

If you don't have the labor available, or you can't afford the financial hit (you are selling domains too close to cost), then PayPal or manual payment methods will probably not fit your business model.

Really... Most merchant accounts I've looked into don't compare much better than PayPal. PayPal's 2.9% + 30 cent transaction fee is more than twice as much as your merchant account (including monthly maintenence fees) and gateway for accepting orders real time? I would love to get the details on your merchant account provider. Thanks

We have a great deal with TotalPay through Merchant Express.

I'll see if I can post the details.

Hey, 7 months between posts. Sometimes that search function can be a real pain in the a$$.
