Right. So here's my idea.
Since making a webcomic is time consuming and does cost a bit of money, I was thinking of adding a donation button (in exchange for rather naughty pictures of the comic characters) to the website. Problem is that Paypal doesn't like me... and I don't like them either.
Well, you see, when I tried opening an account with them, they said that I had the same name as a criminal in the USA. Like I care. But then they proceeded to ask me to fax them a copy of my drivers license as proof of identity... to the USA.
Call me paranoid, but sending sensitive, private information to some foreign private company in some foreign country does not strike me as the smartest of moves.

So, does any one know of a service other than Paypal that I can use to set up a donation system?

-UPDATE_

Right, I got a donation button up but with no incentive.... oh well. Can't have everything.

well re: paypal and international. I "donated" to a person on sexy fur about this time last year, and they sent me the files to dl. Also did something similar with a printed collection. But from what I'm reading, I don't think that helps. My only suggestion would be to talk to someone that does something similar as far as international goes..

Also, re: Naylor, he's a US resident, and you're looking for something international. Can't hurt to ask.

International? I'm right here... The US is international to me.

No, I meant that Naylor was in the US, and you need an international solution for the transfers.

When someone donates to you, you can see where it came from (as in email address)? I thought that maybe you could customise the check out screen with something (ie- a picture) as a thank you for giving me money...

Ask them specifically what information they want and then black out the rest. Also ask what garentee they give for not misusing your information.

I tried to set up a paypal, and because I live in Japan, it wouldn't let me use my (American) credit card. So I said fuck em, if they don't want my monies, they wont get it. Also, sexy commissions sound fun...
