You'd like to think that, in an era when we an post e-books online, anyone on the face of the Earth could buy them. But that's not always the case.

Take an e-mail I just received, from a potential customer: He told me that he'd like to buy some of my books, but he is in Serbia, and he reports that where he is, Paypal is not an option. And sending a few dollars overseas for an e-book hardly seems feasible.

I chose Paypal because it was one of the few ways I could arrange credit card payments, and sell worldwide as much as possible... but if someone doesn't have a credit card or Paypal account, what can I do?
