I don't suppose IP Pay is available in Europe?

Hi Chuck

first of all thank you for your considerations.

Unfortunately having a merchant account here (Europe) is not as easy as 
I thought. the thing is that all the times I went to a bank asking to 
start with the process they were telling me "why do you want this? your 
volumes are so low, stay with paypal..."
But if I do not have a decent merchant account, how should I start 
accepting the money with credit cards? It sounds like a chicken-egg 
problem...

At the same time I feel (not 100%) that something is going lost with 
paypal and that is stopping the business growing. I had issues with 
walled gardens and when I do the tests with the sandbox I have the 
feeling something is not working there. I know it's not the same system 
as the production one, but right now the sandbox is giving me a lot of 
issues...

Thank you
