    Hi, I was experimenting with virtual goods.
    I was wondering If I could get some ideas on what methods would be good to allow users to buy them with?

    I was thinking paypal, mail, anymore?

    Things like mobile payments, anything else really, and the more specific the better. Ideas are most welcome.

    Paypal isn't really designed for virtual goods. As soon as one of your buyers registers a dispute with Paypal, Paypal will ask you for evidence that you sent the goods to the buyer (e.g. a shipping note). For virtual goods, this is almost impossible to provide, so Paypal will give your buyer their money back. After a few of these, your entire Paypal account will most likely be blocked.

    I strongly not recommend you use PP coz in long run,you'll be in losing part.
    For me i use swreg.org for selling virtual item.
