In light of how Paypal is going to rip us all off in a few days, I am needing input from all you that have RME (Revolutionary Money Exchange) accounts and use them. Pros? Cons?
Any other options out there instead of paypal or in addition to RME?? Please do keep this bumped as days are flying by till we all will be hosed by Paypal..again. *sigh* Thanks for any help and info!! Kathy 1|1|I'd be interested in opinions too! I figure if RME is decent, I can use that for trades and keep my PP acct for online store purchases only. |saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|08:11:00|05/25/2009|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 2|1|I'm also interested in learning more about RME.....|maraj|maraj64@hotmail.com|08:15:15|05/25/2009|
If it's legit/secure, easy to use & offers free money exchanges, like in the better days of PayPal, it's definitely something I would consider using. If PP is getting SO greedy that my business w/them is no longer going to be appreciated, then maybe they no longer need my business. ;)
Please identify yourself in 1st email. If I haven't traded w/you before, I will require *legit* trade references & will gladly provide the same.
3|1|Found an online article ( a year old) on RME, compares it to Paypal in simple terms...sounds like RME would be perfect for trade transactions :)|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|08:55:10|05/25/2009|

The only concern I have so far is I dont see any info on filing a complaint should a trade not be recieved....does anyone have more info on that?

"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 4|2|Also, does RME have any sign up cash bonuses available right now?

"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 5|2|RME does limit transfers ( they use that term for sending money ) to 30 a month so if you trade alot of small trades I'm not sure how good it will be At least thats how I read it A question I have|teener|teenerzacsneenee@yahoo.com|09:04:26|05/25/2009|
is do I have to keep a balance in the account or does it work where they just take it from my bank account ? 7|3|I just emailed customer service at RME to ask about instant transfers too, T....I dont keep a lot in my actual pp acct, but have some funds in the bank account I have set up for PP (not a lot at one time, but still instant access to it).

I'm a little taken aback by the author's spelling & grammar errors.
:( Certainly, noone's perfect but I think it would've been to his & the article's benefit to use his Spell Check feature. LOL

12|2|Yes, that is still the same.....RME does allow you to send funds to someone without an acct, they just send the reciever an email notification with info to sign up and collect the funds....but if a trader doesnt have RME, I dont see sending funds like that anyway....just like we do with PP now, if they dont have it, we send cc or stamps, etc...|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|09:48:31|05/25/2009|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 13|3|Yes but what I guess I'm trying to say is some will keep pp others will move to another option and some will go |teener|teenerzacsneenee@yahoo.com|10:01:42|05/25/2009|
back to the old fashion way Tradeing will get to be more of a pain than if I have to send cc I'm not going to be so eager to add a stamp if I also have to send the cc I have a couple of failfull cc traders I do that with now but it's like two if awhole bunch star asking for it it doesn't seem it will work kwim? 15|4|Yes, I see what youre saying.......I guess we'll all just have to be more open to other options or suck it up and take the fees from PP :(|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|11:15:55|05/25/2009|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 14|1|My email to RME and their reply....|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|11:14:52|05/25/2009|
I am currently considering signing up for RME. I have a couple of questions that I didnt find answers to on the site Help pages or FAQ pages.
1. If I use RME to send a payment for goods and I dont recieve those goods, is there a complaint procedure to recoup my funds? If so, how does that work?
2. Am I only able to send payments from available funds in my account? Or is there an instant access/transfer of funds from my linked bank account to the reciever? If so, is there a waiting period for the transaction? Or would I need to transfer funds from my bank account to my RME account first, then send payment to the reciever?
3. Is there any signup incentives/bonuses at this time? I know RME has offered $25 signup bonuses to new members in the past.
Thank you for your help, I am currently looking for an alternative online payment source other than PayPal given they are changing their user policies to include fees on ALL transactions other than sending cash to friends and family. I use PayPal now for purchases online and at times recieve funds for sales online as well.

They really didnt answer my questions very well...except for the signon/referral bonus question. So, still not sure if the only way to send funds is if there is money in the actual RME acct. Also, sounds like we'd be on our own if we didnt receive a trade that we paid with using RME funds. Hmmm, not sure if this is worth the hassle to sign up and use...It'd only use it to pay trusted traders with a long trade history with me.....and that would only work if they have an RME acct as well.

"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 16|2|I tried to sign up with RME back when the incentives were available and couldn't. The problem was as a SAHM I apparently don't exist. (@@) No bills in my name etc....so told me I wasn't eligible at that time to sign up the easy way. I may have to try again and figure out if there is a way to do it. Any news about the limit of 30 payments? Are we limited how many we can receive?|Barb09|Barb0969@AOL.com|15:15:24|05/25/2009|
I looked and looked and found no coupons for troll food......SO, I don't feed the trolls!! 18|3|From what I've read, there is no limit on the number of payments you can recieve, the only limit on in-coming funds is for the amount of $1000 per transaction, and $2500 per month.|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|16:21:46|05/25/2009|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 19|3|They do state right in their FAQ page that a social security number is required, as there is a limit of one acct per person....I do like the security of that, would cut down on the bad traders having several PP accts as their aliases change. |saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|16:25:38|05/25/2009|

I'm going to give RME a try. The only downfall is if the other person doesn't have it then it may not be an option. The more who sign up, the better.
I'll keep my paypal account but will try to limit using it as much as possible. Of course, sometimes the paypal fees may not be as much as mailing stamps or cc but I believe most times for me it will.
There is no "buyer protection" when you mail stamps, BTFE or Concealed Cash either. So I really don't see that being a drawback to RME.
But I guess each will have to decide which option works best for their situation.
