Please Help - Advise accepting money for Latin-American clients

Dear Warriors,

I own a Spanish-language dieting site:Libro "La Dieta Final" (eBook)

I'm getting good traffic from google and from my e-zine.

The conversion rate is not bad, but...

I'm consistenly receiving emails from prospects that want the product or even are crazy about it, but are not able to pay since they have no credit card at all!

Mostly from central-america countries like Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, or south-america like Argentina, Chile, etc.

I currently use PayPal and works great for Mexico, US, and Europe.

Any suggestion of other payment method that works without credit card?

I have learned that Western Union or Money Gramm charge the sender like $10 USD!!!

(So sometimes I end up giving away the eBook to some folks that I see really need help loosing weight or lowering cholesterol for instance)

Thank you all, and hope you a blessed new year!

Why not create a downloadable PDF Order Form and have them mail it to you with a good old fashioned money order?

Sometimes the best answer is the simplest one. If they are serious, they'll do it. If not, they were just pulling on your teat.

Thanks, Anarchy.

Seems like the original poster was pulling on OUR teats though...

Thanks for your inputs, Folks,

The technology is here and it's safe (PayPal), it even accepts Mexican Currency now. The problem is that the culture of some south/central american countries is "I don't need any credit card", so they don't have one.

And there are no money orders available in some of them as well.

too bad, well... I would try to figure out using your ideas.

may be a "send cash by mail" would be other option (altough not very advisable).

Cheers!
