Well, a friend of mine is going to sell lots and lots of things from her collection (video games, My Little Pony dolls, and such), but there's one problem.

She's in Iceland. And PayPal doesn't care for Iceland. They refuse to let her transfer funds to and from her bank account.

What payment methods can she use to receive money from non-Europeans? Europeans can use bank transfers, but the rest of the world is screwed.

Rest of the world can use bank transfer as well. Might cost them a bit though sadly. As long as the bank has an IBAN and BIC code she can receive funds from anywhere in the world.

There is of course receiving cash in the mail (which is what I used to do before Paypal came along).

There's places like moneybookers.com and auctionchex.com that will handle money transfers for a lot less than the standard bank charge.
