    ..that I can use from my country, I'm from Croatia and Paypal doesnt support my country.

    Is there anything similar that covers Croatia and is also widely spread?


    My first post btw, HI ALL :)

    I think Ikobo accepts you. Eventhough It is not widely spread, it is useful for money transfer. :)

    There are no money payment websites that are as widespread as Paypal at the moment... I have heard about Moneybankers that might work for you... not sure. But money transfers work... or you could see about opening a bank account in Switzerland and then using paypal.... Just a suggestion

    I am in similar situation (South Africa)
    I have used iKobo, but I don't have any good things to say about them.
    Other options are Stormpay, and also moneybookers.

    However I agree that ikoboo has a vast coverage even that than paypal, its covering almost 170 countries. However you choose any company, they have some issue.

    As SIK is asking anything similar to paypal which covers Croatia and is also widely spread, I think he should go with ikoboo.

    I second StormPay. They're the most PayPal-like of the alternatives, and quite widespread. Both Croatia and South Africa are supported.

    I would also take a look at Moneybookers - their fees are much less than PayPal and they accept almost all countries

    Well, there is Stormpay, E-Gold, Virtual-Cash, Moneybankers, IntGold, Greenzap, and some other ones, but they all SUCK compared to Paypal. I want all of Paypals competitors to fail horribly so Paypal can hold a sweet, tender, oily monopoly on the money transfer business. Of course, there are always bank transfers and direct credit card payments, but those don't count.
