    The method is possible, however it's not something we have planned. From what I've seen previously it is costly to setup. I'll research it a bit more, though.

    Yeah, and it's horribly expensive.

    If someone from the UK pays for premium via SMS then that's $15 turned into $4.30. Sorry but that's not acceptable in any way or form.

    More like no services. This sort of payment option is a total rippoff. Sadly, your only option is paypal. I really don't know what's so hard about getting paypal, there's no monthly fees, and it literally takes seconds to get up and running.

    Paypal is easier for the buyer and seller, especially when we're talking international payments.

    Yes, it does allow you the option for a credit card number....but there are so many other options then just credit card. The whole reason for PayPal is to allow for other payment option then just credit card.

    I think you should check out the official PayPal website for information, I think it's something you'll find useful.

    no it doesn't. You attach it to your bank account or get someone who has an attached paypal account to send money to yours in return for cash.

    That said, PayPal does not allow people under the age of 18 to hold accounts. (Though that didn't stop me when I was younger)

    Really..? You are not the only one...
    No, you must get all the money, not just a part. You provide the function, you get everything thats paid.

    Usually the payment processor takes a small part, but we're talking 2 or 3% here, not 75% as with the sms service.
