what do you think, is it worth paying 20 per month?

I must say this is great! But too bad seems like only for US merchants.

For people who are looking for 2Checkout alternative, this is really a very good option IMO.

Do the buyers need to be from Paypal supported countries anyway?

There are other posts on here about this. However there are two many downsides for it to be considered for my company.

It appears you need to be in a supported country for current paypal, and theres the whole only US merchants thing..

While the option is certainly not for everyone it may have some potential for people who are not normally apt to get a merchant account as it's an easy transition with less requirements than normal.
