    If just every DP have MB, it would be great :) and MB would probably go step foward, with some things like - donation buttons etc.

    Money exchanges is not allowed here, and it's also very close to helping with money laundering, which is illegal. Stay safe and stay away from that!

    It depends where you live Moneybookers has same fees as Paypal in US, and paypal has micro transaction fee option I think paypal is best in US it is most popular too

    MB Donation button? Ha I think your head is in the sky !

    you're forgetting the BIG FACT that unless you have a MERCHANT account for moneybookers (which you have to apply for separately), then US buyers CAN NOT send you money unless you too are from the usa.

    in other words.... USA Moneybookers can only send money to other people in the USA, no other countries. Moneybookers say they do this to protect us buyers...

    as you all know, most sales and $$ comes from the usa, so leaving those people out is saying goodbye to a BUNCH of money.

    now, its a whole nother story if you apply for a moneybookers merchant account, its a seperate application and moneybookers will check out your site and product before they accept. it will also take some time.

    oh btw, does moneybookers have a debit card like paypal does? I don't think they do, maybe they are with payoneer now?? not sure, anyway, due to that fact, it'll take a while for you to get your money too. with paypal its instant if you have the debit card. and yes, i understand some countries you can attach your debit card to it, not the usa though. besides that method still takes 2-3 days for you to get the money.

    I am a US seller but my customers mostly from outside US. Which should be a good option besides Paypal? I tried Google Checkout but they do not allow selling intangible goods. Is MoneyBooker good for intangible goods ?

    Thanks in advance

    Does MoneyBooker has a way to detect fraud since my business involves digital goods? Thanks

    Moneybookers are regulated under EU banking law so can more easily be held accountable for any wrong doing as opposed to paypal who exist outside any normal banking regulation.
    Having said that, familiarity for paypal is a lot better, and moneybookers force users to open an account (as far as I've seen) which increase the chances of checkout abandonment.
