Benefits of using Clickbank versus Paypal

What are the benefits of using Clickbank versus Paypal? If you want digital information, I would choose Clickbank all the time and this applies to anyone who needs all kinds of information. Whether the information is about health, business, sports, entertainment, marketing or anything under the sun, as long as it can be put in downloadable form, clickbank is the way to go. Why? Let’s check it out below.

Here are a few benefits of using clickbank versus Paypal:

1.) Clickbank has thousands of digital information available and still growing everyday.

2.) Clickbank offers easy transaction and access… once you bought it, you can get it instantly.

3.) Clickbank is trust worthy because there is no risk to you with their 60 days guaranty.

Comparing these benefits to Paypal, these are the comparison:

1.) Paypal does not offer list of digital information, it is just a payment transaction facilitator.

2.) Paypal will ask your personal bank information in order to handle any financial transactions.

3.) Paypal does not offer refunds for digital information, you have to negotiate it yourself from the Paypal vendor.

If you are an affiliate Internet marketer, you would prefer Paypal. Allow me to explain here.

Paypal is excellent payment transaction facility if you are an Internet vendor. Besides handling digital product payments, they can send and accept funds for you worldwide which clickbank does not do. Either making or receiving payments, you don’t have to see your bank because Paypal can do it directly for you. They do it without giving out your banking financial details to anyone. Once you have your Paypal account set, you have the option to use your bank account or credit card to handle the financial transactions for you. Again clickbank is no where near that because it just stores and sells digital information products.

The benefits of using Clickbank versus Paypal is shown by my personal experience:

A few weeks ago, my wife was asking me to go to a casino after hearing her friends are winning there. To me I know it was a losing proposition but anyway, I wanted to make her happy and get along with her. I wanted to better our winning odds so the next thing I did was to search the Clickbank market place for any casino related product. Knowing it has 60 days guarantee, I bought one from Clickbank list and bingo! I found and got a lot of casino strategies that I could use so we can win or prevent at least of losing big. After trying it for almost a week, I found most of the info were crap but at least we did not loose too much and she had fun! Reading the Clickbank casino product, I was able to explain to my wife confidently the real chances of winning in casinos. (Note: This is an isolated case because most of the Clickbank products I bought earlier that I used in the Internet had a higher success rate and I did not have to ask for a refund).

But shown here are the real Benefits of using Clickbank versus Paypal:

When I returned the Clickbank product after a week, I got my refund right away and you cannot do that with Paypal. The latter will automatically dis-regard your refund request because the Paypal vendor is ALWAYS in control not you. Paypal will even do this refund transaction without contacting you because it is done exclusively by computer. You have to fill a lengthy form only to find that you will be rejected if you are dealing with a digital product. Not so with Clickbank which only needs a quick email notification from you if you are unhappy with the product. Most Clickbank claims are settled within 1-3 days and they will personally contact you. Because of this strict Clickbank policy, clickbank vendors are forced to give the best product possible to avoid refunds. With this practice, more and more people are buying from Clickbank because they can actually trust it.

Paypal on the other hand is like your Internet bank. Instead of paying huge transaction fees and lots of traveling time in going to your bank, Paypal can speed up the transaction for you. Transaction is done without leaving the comfort of your home and their service fee is reasonable when compared to the actual bank. Like Clickbank, you can do the transaction 7 days a week, 24 hours everyday which is great if you are buying or selling a physical product in the Internet like those offered by Ebay.

Thanks!
