Comment on Alternative to Paypal "Buy buttons" for European-based companies?

Comments

I run a UK based company, and use three different 'Buy buttons' on my website - that is: 1. Paypal 2. Google Checkout 3. Fast Spring

I've not had any problems with any of them. Paypal and Google Checkout are comparable in price, I think its about 4% cut.

FastSpring is a bit more, about 8% I think, but it has the benefit of handling tax complications - ie. it checks where the seller is, and charges VAT accordingly. Plus it handles currency conversion so the buyer can pay in their local currency.
