Do not forget that by using PayPal WikiMedia is wasting a lot of money.
When you consider the fact that so many people already know about and use PayPal, then 4.5% to 7.6% overall charges don't seem that bad (much less than sales tax in most places). But yes, MoneyBookers is cheaper (and in 4 languages).

Befor asking even more money a cheaper donation channel should be explored.
Please see http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Fundraising_page#MoneyBookers
We already have a MoneyBookers account. I simply have not looked into how to set up an easy way for people to donate using it yet (like I've already done for PayPal). But I just added the single button - donors will have to copy/paste or type our account name in order to donate.
