    1) Yes, very few people will be willing to pay via moneybookers or WU.
    2) Read the sites section of B/S/T and see what sells and how.
    3) The B/S/T section is probably th best, but when you have a higher priced site try http://www.sitepoint.com
    4) nope

    Site flipping is a great way to start out and you can easily make

    As he said, sitepoint.com and also you can auction the domain off at godaddy.com

    another way is ebay as a package.

    Good Luck

    You can certainly make decent (with the market condition in mind) money flipping websites. I have done that for a long time and I do advice people at times.

    However, you can only be successful if you are selling an honest product and not just a cookie cutter and garbage site. You need to add value to the product you are trying to sell - in this case, it is a website.

    You can sell it anywhere, this forum, ebay or sitepoint if you have a good site to sell.

    I see thanks for all the above comments :)

    So really i shouldn't be looking to flip websites without a paypal account? Do people not send money via Wire Transfer? Debit cards?

    Yes but it very rare.
    Buyer will only send via western union or wire transfer if the sales is involve high amount of dollar such as $5k.
