chalk and cheese, mate

Like nochex, fastpay only works if you've got a UK debit card, which hardly
compares to PayPal as far as anywhere outside the UK is concerned (ie eBay
HQ, USofA)

Most of my PayPal trade is from overseas, so Fastpay looks like an upside
down duck floating in the water to me, and I've had more direct bank
transfers than nochex transactions in the last few months.
