Looks like Eventbrite has made paypal a bit easier to
integrate:

to send bank transfer)

I realise it's still perhaps not that simple but think it's also not that
difficult.
I recently used eventbrite to handle the (paid) registration for a
small professional conference - fees a good bit higher than Wikimania
but vastly fewer attendees :-).
It does indeed allow paypal. (IDEAL and SOFORT are offered, but only
where the *location* of the conference is in the relevant country.)
However, it would only allow you to select *one* payment method -
paypal or eventbrite-hosted card processing. It didn't seem to be
possible to enable paypal as a backup option.
We set up a "free" ticket option to cover people who needed to use
alternative methods of payment (bank transfer, cash-on-the-day, etc)
but I can see the obvious logistical problems in chasing this up on
Wikimania scales!
