Hey everyone.  I'm selling some items in another post.  I have been butting heads with Paypal and their monpolous greed that results in not caring in the slightest about customers because quite simply, they dont have to when it appears obvious that we as a consumer need them a hell of a lot more then they need us.

Do any of you know of a similar service that accepts overseas payments?
I signed up for the amazon payments service but to my recent dismal discovery, they don't accept international payments.

Is they anyone else out there?
I would so much rather sell my beloved equipment to you fellows than some ebay :( user
 
Hmph. Sounds familiar...and is rather humorous considering the ironic name..."Paypal".
 
International money orders, bank transfers, Western Union, cash via registered mail.  All have worked for me. 
 
There's Moneybookers, they usually present charges to the buyer instead of the seller, although I think this is adjustable.

I used it once, when I bought an item from an insistent seller, before I really knew how the charges worked.

Worth a look perhaps, YMMV and all that ....
 
I think Google has something.
Not sure it's better though. See guavatone's thread in the White market, he uses it.
