Uli: I'm not doing business in Europe. I have a store in the United States. European customers come to my store via their web browser and purchase software from me.

As to VAT: I'm not so sure it's legal to sell into Europe without collecting VAT. If you're lucky, they'll only ask you to collect (and if you don't pay, you'd better not be caught entering Europe on vacation). If you're unfortunate, they'll go and collect from your customers, which may make them very unhappy, because they'll be charged more later instea of right up front. But as I said, I'm not sure. If you're lucky you US people really are exempt from taxes, but I doubt it. After all, everyone who wants to sell in Europe has to collect taxes, why should people outside Europe have an advantage on "our" market? @Craig: I think you mean bi-weekly. bi-monthly would be even worse than monthly.

You do get a lot more services with Kagi, and if you ask, they pay bi-monthly. They also provide great deal of payment options, in many currencies for the buyers, and it hugely increases sales. To sum it up, Kagi provides a complete solution, and takes payment processing and activation completely out of your hands, freeing you to take care of the rest of your business. It does not come free, but it worth every penny to me. There is a bit more to the picture. You do get a lot more services with Kagi, and if you ask, they pay bi-monthly.
