I have a huge web photo gallery site. Currently I'm about to set up a web shop to sell prints and I need a payment system. I'm based in Germany and the order come from the whole world.

I already have a Paypal account, but they are limited to 38 countries. Is there another good payment system which doesn't charge monthly fees and covers more countries?

They charge a yearly fee of 250 Euro (in addition to the one-time one of 125 Euro).

if you are looking to sell to nearly every country in the world, then that should be a minor issue

sometimes we cant have our cake and eat it.

people/companies need to make a profit

good luck

They can make their profit by charging a fee as a % of my sales.

I'm reluctant to invest money upfront because it is a new business idea and I don't know if it will work.

On the other hand Paypal doesn't cover Malaysia, and I'd expect some business from that country.

So why not use the one you prefer at low cost,get the profit and invest in worldPay,as shak says.

You have to be prepared to take some risk to make money!

This thread is the first time I have been able to find out any real pricing possibilities at WorldPay.

I have not used them yet because of the deceptive way they lay their site out, which persuades me they operate like scam artists.

1) They do not provide their prices for me to find.

2) They lie to me by having a "Pricing" link which leads to a page that does NOT give me their prices.

3) That make-believe "Pricing" page then has the PROFOUND arrogance to expect ME to give out my personal inforamtion (before they have given me anything of real information!) in the hopes they will then later contact me with the prices? (Since they've lied to me about that so far, how can I trust them to actually give me something even after I give my private info?)

So, any company that operates like that reminds me of a shady used car salesman. When they don't want you to know the price AND then visibly lie to you outright (the promise of prices by having a "pricing" page that then does not give the prices), you can be pretty sure you're dealing with a scam.

Because WorkldPay is trying to sell me a product which is about handling my money, then they REALLY have to reach a higher standard of my trust --surely more than a shady car salesman-- if they want my business.

WorldPay.com might very wll be up and up, but a company whihc operates that way cannot be trusted, as far as I am concerned. At this time, I think they are liars. If they can fix that, maybe that could change.

Truly, they should be more transparent and less deceitful.

Worldpay is definitely not scam artists, it is owned by one of the largest banks in the world and their service is truely exemplery.

Yes, there is a payment system with no monthly fee which will allow you to take orders worldwide. It is 2CO but I cannot recommend it on the basis of its service record. There are just too many horror stories around and I also speak from past experience. If you must try, I would recommend you switch to something better like worldpay or planet payment when your business becomes established.

You have to ask planet payment for an individual quote. I believe they quoted us 4.5% plus monthly transaction charges. We went for Worldpay in the end because we felt their guarrantee scheme was important.

Any supposed company that knowingly still refuses to let you know the price in advance is a con artist. Pure and simple.

If these companies are legit, let them be transparent. Pure and simple.

I will be glad to use a company that is open and legit. Pure and simple.
