It was a pain in the ass for me to get a paypal working with the local bank account in here.
There are some people I know who use CC for transactions to buy some stuff from some on-line shops but mostly to shop from e-bay - for the better price of products. Small groups are those who knows what paypal is and how to use it. I've heard about paxum, moneybookers and other stuff just recently 1 and half year ago, and I read a lot of complaining threads about some of them.
If they don't see the cash - something fishy is going on here. And they are right from their point of view due to the boom of frauds. People uses SMS option for any kind of operations - to pay for online service, to pay for a parking slot, to buy from e-bay - all these goes with their phone bills, and it's the easy thing to use for moment.
Me personally - I'm dreaming of e-government, with less bureaucracy - less old aunties sitting on chairs, farting and looking dumb when you ask them simple question about things they should be proficient with. So some of the things here are not 2000 but more like 1980.... About other payment options - once I've used Western Union to pay 100 to a taiwanese girl for a service she did to me. And it was pretty cool.
