Online Payment question

[hmmm]

I have renovated a small Holiday House in Turkey. It will be operational from April 2007. It is a very small business for the time being.
I would like to be able to take deposits etc....online. Would you recommend a particular online payment method, firm?
I wouldn't mind paying slightly higher percentage but I do not want to pay setting up fees and annual lump sum payments. Also of course I should be able to accept different currencies.
Am I dreaming?
Thank you.

Paypal might work for you. I accept eBay payments using it, and it does currency conversion painlessly with no extra charge. No cost to set up an account, after a certain number of transactions you have to upgrade to a Premier account which means higher fee percentage paid but no one-time or recurring periodic payments. Anyone with an email address can send you money using it.

Thank you for your answer Igbpop.
Yes I was thinking of Paypal too. But after reading below website got me worried.
Did you have any problem?

Not at all. PayPal has helped me with several problems I had with sellers and buyers. Even if that website was 100% correct, and the money went directly into your account, your bank would then be doing currency conversion, etc. instead of PayPal. I bet the banks don't do that for free. I know my bank (Bank of America) would levy so many charges that I'd owe them money when all was said and done.

That website fudges facts in my opinion, and it's terribly convenient that the same person complaining about PayPal links to a rival service that I've never even heard of.
