I have the same problem but I'm based on Italy. Banks can be really expensive but paypal is too evil for me to even consider it. If you've been here for more than two weeks you've seen how many horror stories about paypal are published.<p>I'm considering google checkout and I'm wondering if anyone has experience with them.<p>UPDATE: based on another response, I learned that google checkout is available only for USA and UK customers? That makes it pretty unusable in my opinion. Are there similar services?
