You can use Billpoint to let people pay for things other than auctions • using
a credit card, but money doesn't accumulate in there like with Paypal.

I'd like to find an alternative too! PayPal has left some people in Europe
with "stranded" money or with payments that are "hanging" and can't be
accepted, who have contacted me asking to help them unwind. I am not sure
how, exactly!

Anyway, I would love to hear about alternatives.

Have a look at my Brickbay FAQ #4 for payment methods.  #5 details the exact
transaction to me as a seller.  Note that BillPoint charges a 0.5% transfer
fee for ACH to your bank account as well as an extra 1% transaction charge
for international buyers.

I don't particularly care for BidPay due to the delay in receiving money
orders from them after the buyer submits their cc data but I have not had
any problems with them.

I haven't used Yahoo!'s PayDirect yet.

I've also used I-Escrow (now Tradenable) which requires you to ship the
product before receiving payment.  One important note here:  you must ship
using some sort of delivery confirmation number/tracking option in the event
of a 'I didn't get the package' claim.

Hope this helps,
