i always liked moneybookers. sadly nobody uses them. why? - more countries - better support - account and linked bank accounts are not chained to your location (im german living in america with an austrian bank account: paypal fail - german adress with austrian bank not possible same with us address. its the god damn EU i can open accounts where ever i want as citizen of the EU) - higher limits - way less bullshit

Basically, any "serious" PSP is going to want a stack of information from you before you can start trading. PayPal shut down and suspend accounts on a regular basis because they basically only fraud screen you after you're up and running, which is why their barrier to entry is so low, and why they're such a wretched hive of villany and scum.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks, their website is a bit hard to navigate, they only emphasized simple payments and Amazon checkout.

I can't seem to find if it's only available to US/UK users, or if it can be used for clients world wide. We're based in the US and are currently using Google Checkout (which works great), but would like to offer our users an alternative.

It says somewhere they can be used by customers in many countries, but the vendor can only be in the US, I think.
