Alternatives to Paypal

    I am from Pakistan where PayPal is not supported. Due to it i can't send/recv money easily. for some last days i am seriously thinking to start transactions when needed. I came acroos following and have made my account there:

    Money Bookers
    Xoom
    Amana
    iKobo
    e-gold
    stormpay

    most of people here active in BST Forums use PayPal and my question from all of you is if you come across a person not having paypal account then which of above or any other you prefer. I just want to use 2 or 3 better options available to me.

    Thanks in advance

    Paypal is not available to residents of Pakistan having bank accounts here; probably some people use relatives or friends, but i am not sure how they use it;

    I think you may prefer moneybookers & egold over others.

    MoneyBookers is nice alternative for paypal, E-Gold is also good and withdrawing from both is very easy.
