I agree with you, although I do note that Paypal claims to work perfectly fine in most (not all) European and Asian countries.
If there are other services in Europe or Asia that (a) are popular and easier to use for people there, and (b) easy for me to set up, then please let me know.
I would suggest Worldpay, but their fees are rather high. (in NZ it's about $NZ500 a year, commission of 4% and a GBP2.5 fee every time they remit to your account, so unless business is brisk it's uneconomic. But they do offer payment in a range of currencies, remitted in the one of your choice, and it might be worth checking if they offer a special deal for NPO's. I don't mind paying by credit card in $US, but there has been enough FUD spread about Paypal that I plan never to create an account there - I don't trust them to keep my CC data secure.
