Hello,

I am a webdesigner. Basically I do web design thru my main website and I accept payments via western union (the fees are somehow low when dealing with relatively large sums). My problem is with Logo design venture. I design logos for prices ranging from $50-$80. I can accept payments for my logo services by western union (western union charge about $20!!). I'm located in Egypt so i cant use paypal.

Please advise!
Thanks

How about xoom.com, it allows customers to pay by paypal, co2 etc into and xoom account which then pays you, although your clients have to pay the fees to use it rather than yourself.

Hope that Helps

Ok, how about stormpay, its free to register to and allows people from Egypt that may be a place to start.

You may try ikobo.com. They issue a card like Visa and you can withdraw money anywhere in the world.

As I know, StormPay only accepts payment from auctions on their site right now.

horrible stories are found almost about every processor out there, i kept away myself from them two much time but finally found that from my location they were the best considering alternatives are worst , infact as per middleeast webmasters options are not quite wide , neither obtaining a merchant account is any easier!

Go with 2co. I know tons of people that are very happy with them. I'll be using them myself soon.

although you say there are lots of negative 2checkout reviews, go with 2checkout.

I been using 2co for almost 3 years already, no problem so far. I mean they are not great but they are doing what they are supposed to do. Plus I dont, personally. believe many of the reviews. I believe many people manytimes exaggerate.

2checkout would be the most reliable service you could get
