Ancher why can't you get a merchant account in Europe? I'm sure it would be much easier for you than trying to get one through an American company/bank.

The way I see it you're going to need a merchant account unless somebody steps up to take Paypal's place. When Epassporte can make it so you can withdraw money into a bank account that will be good for people selling services/products to webmasters.

I just got an email today from the merchant bank, gotta pay them a $1,950 registration fee cuz content licensing is high risk.
Sucks. It's a B2B business and is extremely low risk, in the last 7 months I've sold custom content to about 50 different web companies, I take no money upfront - not one deadbeat. Meaning adult webmasters as B2B customers are better bets than mainstream businesses.

They tell me that it's 'high risk' because the content can be delivered via FTP download. What a crock.

But gotta pay anyway.
