Because I have to solve the same problem, I try to find a system for micro payment, too.

The problem is, that PayPal is based on CC only and people here in Germany don't have so many CCs like in the USA.

German Telekom tries to build a system "T-pay" where the payment is added to your phone bill. They also offer a system to pay by dialing to a 0900-number.

Another system I heard about is click&buy from Firstgate. Does anybody know details about that?

The problem seems to be, that the only widely accepted system at the moment is paypal.

I would like to hear other opinions.
