Or another possibility might be online check acceptance. For whatever
reason it's not a very popular method, but it seems to work well; anyone
with a checking account can use it, and the transaction fees are lower
than for credit cards.

I know of one company that can help with online checks:

I attended a presentation by the owner of the company a couple years
ago, and got her newsletter for a while. I've never actually done
business with her, but she seemed all right.
