That sounds pretty sweet. I would love to have more people coming into this market because I am tired of getting squeezed by monopolies like Neteller.

paydirect has been around for about 2 years now and it is the EXACT same concept as paypal.

They wont be messing around with books or casinos

What a joke. Neteller is a relative newbie in the payment processing industry, and is dwarfed by many of its competitors. For whatever reason, the books have granted favoured status to Neteller. But it is silly to say that there is a dearth of competition when there are so many superior services available.

Yahoo! PayDirect is not likely to be embraced by books anytime soon, as it will be loaded down with all of the same hassles as PayPal. HSBC has been trying to edge in on PayPal's market for some time now, and I imagine will meet the same level of failure as CitiBank's c2it service (which, if you'll look around, is not exactly a big favourite among books for funding options either.)

Paydirect has been around since 2000 and is not viable for sportbooks both due to existing restrictions in it's terms of use and low transfer limits. It's basically a money transfer tool for Yahoo auctions
