No, Moneybookers is popular globally as well and it's cheaper plus more reliable and secure.

  And has a disaster for a user interface. Once every three months I have to file a tax report and that's when I log in to see each transaction for those three months. Their history form has a "[Go]" button and a "[Search]" button. I press the wrong one each and every time. There is no details page for a transaction and you can only see the item that was sold in a CSS popup that disappears when you mouse away, making it impossible to copy-paste. And then there's the fact that their calculations can be off sometimes. We have some sales that are € 12.75. The transaction costs for that is € 0.44 or € 0.45, I don't know which: the amount field says it's € 0.44, but our balance is actually decreased by € 0.45. That's a rather bad mistake to make as a payment provider... All in all I'm not too happy with Moneybookers. It gets us money and it's cheap, but it's perfectly clear why they are cheap... Edit: Also, Moneybookers sales were less than 5% of the Paypal sales...

    OK, MB is not perfect either but I still prefer it to PayPal and use it whenever I can. Also MB has some security advantages. You can already notice on the front end (captcha etc.)

      I don't particularly care for the captcha. It annoys me and I'm assuming Paypal has protected against brute-force login attempts differently. It's not like captchas fully protect against those anyway. Paypal really is much more polished. Their reporting is top-notch. They have an API. And they have an interface which doesn't confuse me. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better than MB...
