I need the best Paypal alternative, Euro based and easy to use?

    I am getting a bit fed up with paypal and the way they operate. I was on holiday and accessed my account from abroad to transfer money to my bank account, Paypal suspended my account. I contacted them, by email, all they could do was ask for proof of address, pretty useless as I was out of the country and I don´t own my own place so the only proof of address I get is a bank statement which I didn´t take on holiday! I explained the situation to death ears, they wouldn´t accept my birth certificate, passport, security question answers and they wouldn´t let me prove myself by calling my phone that is on record with them!!!!

    I am going away again for a month, maybe 2, and need to know that I can access my Paypal account to transfer my earnings whilst I am on holiday. I will take my bank letters etc, incase of a repeat, but really would sooner know for sure that this wont happen again. The last time, I withdrew money to my account from paypal, 2 days later my account was frozen and then the funds returned back to my paypal account, it took me almost 2 weeks to get my money!

    I need the best alternative to Paypal that I can use in the same way. I like the way you can create buy now buttons and the account layout. Also, I only accept Euro payments and I pay out in dollars.

    Anyone got a good alternative to paypal?

    Thank you.

    That sucks! Especially when you get refused your own money... Im not sure if 2 of these 3 processors below allow 'buy it now' buttons but i know you can freely access them anywhere around the world and not have to worry about account details etc + They accept payment in Euro's so you will be all good there!

    I started off with paypal and have since found epassporte, ccbill and zombaio to be my favourite options. They also accept high risk businesses such as adult content for those in need of adult processors.

    CcBill i would look into first as they do have the on site buy now buttons you are looking for.

    Alertpay then Moneybookers, since AP is better for accepting CC payments.
