Because webmoney takes security rather seriously, they do not accept credit card transactions, which is a major pain. Nor can you convert paypal to or from other internet moneys.
Last time I wanted to use an online gold system, I used pecunix as the currency and goldage.net as the payment handler. That was partly because of the fees for the size of transactions I was doing (for small transactions, the minimum fee is more important than the percentage), but partly for convenience - one way to pay Goldage in the US is to go to a bank where they have an account and make a deposit - Wells Fargo is one of their more widespread banks. Credit cards are of course much more than a security issue - chargebacks are a major problem for a vendor who's shipping out gold credits immediately, especially if they're anonymous accounts which can transfer anonymously.
