WorldPay? Google Checkout? NOCHEX? Authorize.Net? 2Checkout? CCBill?

I would say Paypal is more secure. Where I live, there is no paypal so I have to call someone who has US accounts to transfer the funds. It takes too much money for that transaction. I am still using paypal for that matter :(.

Moneybookers or Western Union would also work.

Moneybooker, e-gold, open a citibank account and ask people to send money directly to your bank account.

Hi You can use foriegn currency account in conjunction with google check out or e-gold is the best way but expensive, I think when you use Pakistan as product origin u wont get good responce so its better to get some friend in uk and do business in collaboration, I am thinking of it if interested contact [email]azharshah316@hotmail.com[/email]

Good Luck

There are many alternatives like E-gold, E-bullion, Moneybooker,Xoom,Western Union. But Paypal is the best if you want to do business in ebay as paypal is a ebay company afterall.

Money transfer companies like Western Union are just too expensive to be a viable option. It would be cheaper to bank transfer via International Bank Code/Number. For example The Co-operativebank only charge £8 for sending money to the USA (from the UK) no matter how large (or small) the amount, whereas companies like western union will charge an arm and a leg.

In this case I would suggest you to use Moneybookers because it is one of the fastest growing payment processors and have earned a good reputation in a very short time.And the best thing is that it also support countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh where Paypal is not available or allowed to use.With Moneybookers you can both deposit and withdraw your funds in your bank account very easily.

There is a new payment systems directory - http://www.onlinepaysystems.info . Looks like it's still under construction but going to be pretty good service.

Hello, I would also recommend using this site as a Paypal alternative . The customer service has been very helpful, and the service itself seems very safe. Good luck.
