Need help! I am not able to use paypal website payment pro! any alternatives?

I just called paypal. And I am told that I can't use website payment pro, but only paypal express.
Because I am living in China , and website payment pro is not available to China paypal accounts.
That's means I will have to give up website payment pro.

Now I am wondering, does website payment pro really help increase sale conversion rates?
Do people really not like to go to paypal.com to input credit card info, but prefer direct credit card payment methods?

Is there any alternatives which do the same as website payment pro?

Really appreciate your advise!

Only you can determine the nature of your customers and what they like or dis-like.

For "General" items that are available many places then yes most would prefer to remain on your site through purchase completion as this portrays a "professional" business posture versus one where the owners have not invested in keeping and processing transactions on their site.

Do not know what your market is nor what "gateway" processors are available to you in China.

Are you selling mainly in China? or where?
