Paypal is the way to go. They seem to be moving to being more adult friendly and the risk of being screwed is far less. I've had a Paypal account since around the turn of the century and I don't remember the last time I had to send an ID or verify anything besides a new bank account or credit card and all I had to do is confirm a certain deposit amount (as opposed to sending copies of the card or me holding it up). There is almost no bullshit at all.
