Funny, I see these comments, especially those who say “PayPal will be passed up and I have a company who can do it,” and think to myself…sure buddy. If you only knew what goes into payments. CC regs, ACH regs, Govt reg bodies, law enforcement bodies, customer disputes, chargebacks, pfishing, fraud, money laundering, OFAC, SAR’s, culture, etc etc etc. I see people saying “I have an extra $10 million in 2nd round funding” and I think…what do you think you’re going to do with only $10 mill? Naivity will be your downfall. It’s a task more complicated than you can possibly imagine.

I would say that Payoneer.com will be the next big thing on Internet transactions. It doesnt discrimanate against countries (though they should introduce checks against money laundering), and the transaction fees are ridiculously low…

Very attractive for those outside the US

The online payments market is still in it’s infancy. The scale and success of PayPal is only a very small part of the overall market demand for payment solutions. I work with many banking groups and specific help banks re-claim the eCommerce transaction space for low value payments, and I have to say that there are many innovators in the market all challenging the conventional wisdom and business process, and in my opinion, many will not only beat eWallet models like Paypal, but others will pass them by and own much of the market. The head of a regional asian bank told me that in his view regulation was all that has kept banks in existence. Now they are challenged to deliver, and will find ways. So there will be successors, and many of them.

have a look at CARDS OFF, a french public company (NYSE EURONEXT ML OFF).
CARDS OFF as developped a very safe solution to secure the transactions on the web, from the order to the delivery of goods, including the payment.
You never put your personal datas on the web: no use of credit cards, no need to give your name, e-mail, adress etc…
They garantee the payment as soon as the delivery has been done, and of course, if not, the custumer gets his money back.
No commission paid by the website.
The business model is very interesting and enables the websites to increase their profits.
CARDS OFF was selected as a demopit company at TECHCRUNCH50 this year.

Have a look quickly!!

Clearly there are wanting alternatives to PayPal and Visa/MC/Amex cards (see the aforementioned reference to BillMeLater in this thread as proof positive). Though I’m not that familiar with eBillMe’s business model, any payment option which enables SOME consumers to NOT have to use their credit cards will have some attraction. That being said, it needs to have all the usual checks ticked off; convenient, easy to use, secure, and non intrusive.

And by the way, merchants are ALWAYS willing to consider payment types which are cheaper than the processing fees they currently pay on credit cards. Just don’t expect adoption overnight.
