    Hey there,

    I'm sorry if this was discussed already, but PayPal is not available in my country.
    Could you recommend alternatives to PayPal? I need a secure payment method for low-cost domain/websites transactions.

    Thank you in advance,

    I am using Moneybookers right now and i am pleased.Fast and secure.
    I suppose Paypal is preffered by many but if isn`t an option for your country
    you could try moneybookers.Check if your country is on the list

    Google Checkout is good, but it isn't a real alternative to paypal.

    Try MoneyBookers! :D

    Google checkout is not useful for people operating out of US!
    So this limitation should also be considered.

    2Checkout accepts payments worldwide and sends money worldwide to you bank account.

    Also you may try worldpay.com to accept payments on your web site.

    Thank you for the replies guys.
    I tried out MoneyBookers and it seems a great alternative.

    To those who asked where I am from, I'm from Romania, Europe. PayPal got banned here in 2002 because the country "has a high risk of fraud".

    Cheers ;)

    I wonder why paypal still allows registrations from USA - most of the fraud comes from there.
