What is the best way for people to pay me using wordpress for a service like article writing. Is there a buy it now button i can use on wordpress or a plug-in. My site is self-hosted. I want people to be able to come and pay for an article via paypal then I will do the work for them.

Any thoughts? Also besides paypal whats the best tool to pay via credit/debit card?

PayPal is probably the easiest. I don't know if there's a single best way. Usually the best option is to provide as many ways as possible to let people pay you. People can also use credit cards through PayPal. They don't need to have an account.

You set everything up through PayPal and then PayPal will give you the code to embed on your site.

Paypal is probably a must have, but yes there are others you should consider, AlertPay is becoming more and more popular. It is also probably helpful for you to put some type consumer trust seals on the site (if you can afford them), like truste or verisign, it will boost customer's confidence to see those.

PayPal Standard is good and so is Google Checkout.
Google Checkout is only available for website owners
in some countries though.

You might want to look at this article.
http://www.tokyowebdesigns.com/advic...all-web-sites/

It contains a video link on how to add PayPal buttons yourself.

If you have a morbit fear of HTML there are some simple plugins
you could use e.g.
