PayPal are bastards. I cancelled my account with them a few years ago and they've since refused to process any payment using my cc. This has caused me much frustration over time and I'm not alone Not sure if people who use PayPay for credit card processing are aware of this. I'd love to buy this - and I attempted to - but can't.

Unfortunately they're our only option in Australia ( at least until these guys come out of beta https://pin.net.au/ https://pin.net.au/ ).

  Yes, we're a bit short on choice here, aren't we? I'm using eWay http://www.eway.com.au/ http://www.eway.com.au/ who have been fantastic to work with but require you have a merchant bank account. Seen pin.net.au before and it looks good

  I'm looking at using https://www.braintreepayments.com/tour/international https://www.braintreepayments.com/tour/international for online ticket sales a little later this year. (I'd love to use Pin, but I'm still waiting for a way to use them without the massive bugbear of anything beyond PCI SAQ A, which comes into play as soon as you're POSTing CC numbers to your server.) PS: Hi Marcus. ProgSoc Rob here. :D

  Could you accept Bitcoins?

    Have you ever tried to buy bitcoins?
    - jzwinck 14y ago
      I haven't, but I know there are services that let you get Bitcoins by depositing money by credit card or in a brick-and-mortar bank. It's an extra step, but some people seem capable of doing it already.

        There's no services that allow you to buy bitcoins with a credit card, or at least, they don't stay around for very long after they start. I was going to mess around with making a trading bot, but I could find no reputable sounding services that actually allowed me to buy the initial coin.

It's also unfortunately one of the few ways to accept USD online in Australia, unless you hop through a ridiculous number of hoops with NAB (a bank)[1][2]. (BrainTree just launched in Australia[3], though. I'll be checking them out shortly for a project of my own. :) ) 1. http://blog.angrymonkeys.com.au/why-being-an-aussie-startup-sucks http://blog.angrymonkeys.com.au/why-being-an-aussie-startup-... 2. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3098224 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3098224 3. https://www.braintreepayments.com/tour/international https://www.braintreepayments.com/tour/international
