http://saasy.com claim that they have solved this problem but I haven't yet used them. Does anyone else have any experience with them?

Seems really expensive (5.9% plus $.95 or 8.9% flat per transaction).

I've been getting setup with Stripe. They just lowered their rates to 3.5% (from 5%) plus $0.30 per transaction. Good API and no other fees. Seems great so far...

Everything was awesome up until this part of the FAQ:

-- Stripe transfers money to your bank account at the end of the following month: that is, you receive June's payments at the end of July.

That page seems to redirect to an incredibly minimalist welcome page saying:

  Stripe

  Payment processing for developers
  
  Get in touch

I think I'd need a bit more information before I'd even investigate them!

Stripe looks promising but based on their FAQ they are available only to US based companies/persons for now, so they are not an option I can consider, at least in the near future.

FastSpring, the company behind them, is well regarded by many shareware developers I know.

That looks very interesting. Receiving payments is such a huge hurdle for small projects outside of the U.S. (for example, PayPal doesn't provide Website Payments Pro in Ireland, banks are pretty difficult for new businesses, etc) Saasy looks like it might work.
