    Question Payment Processing Before PayPal

    I was just wondering, before PayPal existed, what did people use to pay for things they bought in webmaster forum marketplaces? Like most people now pay with PayPal, but what was used before that?

    I went to DP and went through the OLD site selling forums, I couldnt figure it out at all lol. But whatever they used must've led to many scams, because most of those people were all banned and most deals never closed.
