Have you tried Money Brokers?

I've heard about Money Brokers.(I think its name is Money Bookers

)
I didn't like it much though. Seemed too complicated!

E-Gold, but cashing your money can be a big problem. You have to depend on independent exchangers and they charge lots of money.

Other options are ePassporte, AlertPay, etc

Not necessarily, here in Estonia you also cant use PayPal, and I've used e-gold several times. There is company called "IceGold" here where you can buy and sell e-gold. They don't charge you anything, "They get profit from difference of currency", or that's what they say at least. There are also some companies and trusted persons who exchange money from PayPal to e-gold and vice versa.

e-gold is really good
a lot of sites offer discounts if you pay with e-gold (up to 10%)

I don't know of a payment system which will work off of the top of my head, but here is an article with 6 paypal alternatives which may fit the bill - - - - http://www.tprweb.com/public/440.cfm

This also looks like it may be promising : http://www.auctioncheckout.com/sellers.php

Of course if you are not looking for a middleman service like paypal, I'm sure it would be easier to just get setup with a merchant account, but I'm not sure if that is what you are looking for...if that would work it may be the easiest answer.

and the infamous antipaypal site .... http://www.paypalsucks.com/forums/showforum.php?fid=10

has a big list of many alternates, sorry to be a punk, but you will have to look into them yourself, as I ain't gonna do all the legwork for you but hope these links help.

I would definitely suggests Google Checkout its quite new, but Google is a very reliable company of course as you all know and its a great alternative you also sometimes get plenty of discounts too.

http://checkout.google.com

Worth a look people.

Of course there are lots of alternatives to paypal such as e-gold,moneybookers,stormpay,alertpay etc.But as you said you are from pakistan and can't use paypal as it's not allowed there so i think it would be best for you if you could use moneybookers or alertpay.Both of them are available in your country i guess and both of them have the features of withdrawing your funds from you bank account and both are very easy to use.So whats the problem then?

I really think that using paypal is the worst mistake a seller can make. I utilize this site for my paypal alternative. I've just heard of too many people having their paypal accounts frozen or their money stolen, and I'm not about to risk my hard earned money by using them!
