I'm thinking about accepting more different currencies.
Since I can't accept CC's and since PayPal etc.
is for US users only.
Money Order fees are very high in Holland.
About $15!! <---rediculous ain't it?
So mostly I receive CASH.
So far I accpet only US Dollars, UK pounds
and of course Dutch Guilers.
I think it's buyer friendly to accept more foreign money (of course only the ones that are good in the market) (Sorry Poland, Russia etc.)
Which currencies do you accept?
Thanx
(if there are any typos or grammar errors, please forgive me, it's early here)

DaMNiT,
Please check out these sites, as they all now offer credit card usage and acceptance to sellers outside of the USA.
BidPay.
CCNow.
PayPal.
PayPal went international on Nov.1st. Check their list of countries. I'm pretty sure that Holland is one of them.
BidPay and CCNow , I'm fairly certain, will also allow Dutch sellers to use their services.
Good luck!

Theoretically, anything my bank will accept. I really like those Yankee buck however and encourage payment with those.

BidPay is an excellent option for international purchases. The only downside is that it charges the buyer $5, but it sounds like that's not so much from the perspective outside the U.S. The emails come immediately and the payment arrives in the form of a money order directly from BidPay quickly also.
Oh yeah, and it is FREE to the seller!

CCNow is an excellent service. Fees are on the high side, however: 9% most of the year, 8% during November and December.
BidPay is excellent, too. Plus, the buyer pays only $5!

I accept any currency except from ex-communist countries--and a few of the Middle East ones. The Euro is kind of shakey--so I might change my mind on that one.

I've used all 3 with no problems.
BidPay allows buyers to purchase Money Orders with their credit cards. The only problem that I can see is that BidPay only sends MOs in US dollars and your bank may charge a fee to cash them.
CCNow charges 9% which isn't too bad for smaller purchases.
PayPal would probably be the best for you. I've had over 500 transactions with them and haven't had any problems. But, if you read these boards you see that some people have had some major problems with them.

I'll think I'll go for PayPal
Do they pay on your bank account?
Did I read that correct in the ToU?
