  Hi lahavgoods,
  
  I came across this Israel’s leading online settlement system, link hidden
  it may have something you can use. I have read that it is possible send funds through it from your bank account. It also came up as the only alternative to PayPal to accept local Israeli credit cards. However, the problem for small businesses in Israel with regards to Tranzilla is that it charges a monthly fee which is not cost effective for minimal monthly transactions.
  
  You may also try Moneybookers.com - they do NOT debit your bank account directly, you must instruct your bank yourself to do the fund transfer.
  
  Hope this helps.
  
  P.S. Kindly upload a profile picture when you have the time. Have a good day!

  Hi lahavgoods,
  
  This may seem simplistic, but have you tried going to Google and typing in something like "israel online payments"? That might yield some good results for you.
  
  Also, I agree with Irene that Moneybookers may be a promising alternative for you, as well as Paymate. Both services are among the few accepted payment methods allowed on eBay and they both offer service to Israel.
  
  Or, if you're primarily interested in finding a way to receive payments instead of sending them, another option would be for you to set up a merchant account so you can accept direct credit card payments from buyers. Your bank should be able to help you with that.
  
  I hope that helps!

  @erika -It's really nice to see you on the forum :) Welcome! I'm sure your knowledge and expertise will be a great addition to our forum.
  
  @lahavgoods - I agree with both irene and erika. Now that eBay has opened up their doors to other payment methods you should have no trouble.
