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).

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.
