2checkout seems the only option since paysystems doesn't accept international customers anymore

have a look at ikobo.com too

Have an look over ikobo.com whether your country is listed and 2checkout.com is best.

but i prefer ikobo and the setup is free while $49 in 2checkout.

2CO might work for you or Paysystems will also. They are still opening up some merchant accounts on their third party platform depending on where you are located.

A great & unbiased ikobo article can be found here: http://www.adamwebdesign.ca/articles/ikobo_review/full_article.html - it states a lot that I have been saying for a very long time. They might be OK for some P2P transfers, but not for your 'merchant account' needs

Ok i found that while im trying to sign up:

"Thank you for considering myPaySystems Standard solution for your payment processing needs.
Note that myPaySystems is currently accepting applications for US based and European merchants only and does not offer its services to merchants in the following market segments: adult sites, Internet casinos, pyramid sales, lottery tickets, cash advances, alcohol, firearms and illegal drugs."

so there is no way but 2co i guess :(

With all the Visa & Mastercard rules & regulations coming out right now on thrid party processing, it is getting more & more difficult

I would advice against ikobo as my past experiences has been horrible.

The site was hard to navigate and only god knows what their error messages meant. Support is almost non-existant. While the majority of questions go unanswerd the others take weeks to get through. I don't know what the support staff is there for as they just copied their FAQ and pasted them, even though I wanted a clarificaton as I don't understand their FAQs.

All 4 of my credit card failed with their system and their support staff ignored me.

As such, I just move on to the next company...
