Google Checkout and Amazon Payments. Between those two, most of your users likely already have accounts.

WePay could be a good solution depending on your needs. They are great for groups, clubs, charities, etc that need to collect money. http://wepay.com

I notice no one is saying FastSpring or Braintree Payments. Is it because those are not considered in the sane classs as Paypal or aren't good for people starting out?

Take a look at FastSpring if you're selling downloadable products.

Some questions:

1. What are you starting? a Startup? a Barbecue? an e-shop? 2. What kind of needs are you looking for? Are you looking for a payment gateway?

I'm asking this because i'm looking some solutions for in-app Mobile Payments, and i found that Boku is great for what i need, but certainly your solution depends directly in your needs.
