Paypal of course maybe even better than a merchant account.

You’re going to lose on bank transfers because of the wire fees, and checks because they have to clear-and-exchange, which leaves you open to risk if you ship before they clear.
there’s also western union – fees – and you also will look like a scammer.
If not paypal, there’s moneybookers, or 2checkout. but they all work the same. I’ve been doing paypal business since 1999 with no issues. My own business issues merchant accounts, but US only.
good luck.

You really need to check with the bank that you set up the merchant account with, not here.
