Maybe also to note: In Europe (hence the P2M and cnc example) it is still very common to pay by bank transfer. Cash cards (maestro etc.) are a lot more common, with bank transfers or payment of an invoice the only options for buying online. Lots of websites will let you place the order, and send an invoice (electronic or paper) and then will only process your order once the invoice is paid. As a native of the UK living in Switzerland, this all seemed pretty annoying and clunky when I first got here, but now is fairly routine for online purchases.
I guess my point is.... If you're hoping for your market to expand beyond the UK, bank transfers and such like aren't such a big deal.
