well, this may be the way of the future :-) we've found that VISA and MasterCard work well for international financial transactions: the transfer can happen by telephone, in one or two days; the currency exchange is handled automatically; the fees are reasonable (in our case easily less than 5 percent). our bank is probably more helpful than most, so it was not difficult to set the handling up. it would seem that a shareware author handling more than, say, 100 dollars/month might look into this method.
