Not sure if paypal is that unpopular certainly the "subscription" payments are very popular. Sign in to cyclical donate x amount each month. I also like their mobile offering. Something I haven't heard for anywhere else. Then again this was more about the idea on making "twitter" a platform to promote and get donations. > One that seems very popular with most of the international students I > have polled on the topic is Moneybookers. > > http://www.moneybookers.com/app/help.pl?s=m_shoppingcart > > > http://www.moneybookers.com/merchant/en/automated_payments_interface_manual.pdf I'm not a huge fan of Moneybookers, they used to have a very cumbersome way to work. They asked you to fax in your passport and other stuff. The real holder was somewhere in Poland and Ukraine and just sounded a bit obscure.
