Ted Leonsis's company Revolution Money is doing the best in this category right now, and I hope more people catch on to using it, to support the business. BTW, the service can also be used just like PayPal, but without incurring any fees to the receiver (seller). For more info, Google "revolution money" micropayments and use the link at http://trone.net/revmo to sign up.
