EBay to Ditch PayPal for Dutch Payment Processor Adyen
Here's what puzzles me. I have looked into Stripe, and just browsed the Adyen webpage. Both of those services seem to require you to maintain your own "active" server that can run server side code.<p>PayPal seems to be unique in being able to take payments from a passive web page, because the customer conducts their transaction at PP's website.<p>This is why I continue to use PP for my tiny little business (without eBay). Even though I consider myself reasonably tech savvy, I don't trust myself to maintain a website that is compatible with everybody's browser, phone, etc., and that guarantees the security of their personal data. Moving to another payment processor requires a quantum leap in technology that I'd rather not keep up with. I'd rather design another gizmo.<p>From time to time I look around for an alternative to PP, and haven't found one yet. I suspect that many small-time eBay sellers may be in the same boat.
