The issue of incredibly (relatively) smaller ticket prices was my main obstacle to trying PbP, but I was forgetting a couple things:
1) Instead of $29.95 (avg) for 30 days of grinding my server's resources/bandwidth, 50 cents for 30 minutes is not bad. On the other end, $10 for 30 minutes (Austria) is pretty good return for a quickie.
2) Lesser costs mean lesser risks of dissatisfaction/chargebacks by customer and higher conversions.
3) "Rebills" are entirely possible (customer initiated call backs) and TOTALLY up to the quality of the paysite.
4) Commercial online access to Eastern Europe, and Asia has never been safer.
