Perhaps you can look into Skrill (previously known as Moneybookers). If you are selling your product globally, this may be a better alternative. But I'd also work on getting PayPal to work as well, considering it is one of the most trusted payment methods in the US.

I would try to make paypal work as its a reliable name. If you tell someone to order from some shady service then obviously they wont, you can also use 3rd party credit card processors to handle your order where they take the credit card orders and pay you, and take a small fee, those work really well.

i am a college student and i live in the bahamas and i make handmade hair accessories and i would like to sell them online to earn some money to help with college expenses. in the past i have tried paypal but for some reason they won't let me accept payments, i have gone back and forth between my bank and paypal and each time they blame the other for the issue. so basically i'm fed up and i would like an alternative to sell my goods online that doesn't require paypal and that is open to me here in the bahamas
