I try to convince customers to make payments via 
IBAN/SWIFT but in some countries/banks it's seems 
to be complicated and expensive. As a fallback I 
use PayPal.

Within the EURO/EEC countries you can use something my bank call "EU payment".

From the home page of my bank:
"EU payment costs SEK 10 per payment and is 
normally available to the recipient 3-4 weekdays 
after the amount has been sent from 
FöreningsSparbanken. In order to receive an EU 
payment, the recipient must be registered with an 
IBAN and BIC/Swift ID. There will be a charge if 
you elect to pay the recipient bank's costs."

10 SEK is just a little over 1 EURO.

I make the payments directly through my Internet bank service, very convenient.
