Alternative to Paypal

Live in remote countries not serviced by Paypal

Hi,

I have spent my last two weeks trying to market few DNS that I bought in the last two years, nonetheless I find it difficult since all websites/forums I have been use Paypal payment.

Secondly, my registrar has just stop payment by international check. Only withdraw through Paypal is available. Ouch!

I am living in a remote country and the only thing I can do with Paypal is to:
"Send: Send funds without sharing your financial information."

In fact, the list of countries listed in this category is long so I guess I am not the only one concerned.

What are the alternatives to send/receive money in a fast and reliable manner worldwide?

Thanks

There's alot of competition around paypal, but none of them have the reputation or brand that paypal does, which makes them a more or less unsafe bet when compared to paypal.

Hook up with some friends and test some of them with minor amounts to find one which sends the money through without any problems or hazzle or anything. Of course, if we are talking major amounts of money being transferred i'd probably figure out how to do a work-around with paypal..

Google Checkout might also be an option, but haven't looked at how it can be used as a seller, only as a buyer - and google is a bit more globalized and widespread than the typical american company, so don't know - but check'em out.

Sincerely, and have fun,

Sure! Me too! But (sadly) it's only for small amounts.

I'll try Moneybookers, it seems to be the best alternative.

I use Moneybookers for poker deposits. It seems to work OK.

Haven't tried receiving money from them :-(
