PayPal: Need a simple, stable alternative
I'm in the process of creating an application (i.e.-classified ads) that requires users to submit payment (small amounts, no more than say $2) before their ad is live.  Since this is my first experience dealing with online payments, I decided to go the PayPal route...only I've been unable to use their sandbox environment/accounts as it has been down for me for two weeks, and I got what from the reading I've done on HN is a typical response from PP's customer support, "At this time the engineers will only notify me now when the issue is being pushed to the sandbox site, unfortunately I do not know what the time frame is. It could be today, tomorrow, or a week."<p>Since a multi-billion dollar company can't tell me when things will be fixed, I need to look for another solution and am hoping you all have recommendations.<p>At this point, I simply need a "Pay Now" button that takes the user to a secure site to process their payment, upon completion it returns them back to my site.  In this process, I need to be able to pass 2 variables to, thru and back to me (if successful) in order to "active" their submission (e.g.- PP's IPN).<p>Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated!
