I've used Paypal because it was very simple to setup, until I realised how much I was losing, then I setup a bank to bank international wire, which took some time because most account managers I have talked had no idea how to do. It still takes some fees, but a lot less compared to Paypal.

Wire transfers always seem to take so long. How long do they take for you?
Wire transfers should be instantaneous. ACH transfers take 2-5 days.
I've not experienced that, even within SEPA (the EU's transfer area). Payments from e.g. Denmark to Germany seem to typically take one business day to go through.
Even international wire transfers? Eg US to another country.
Yes.
Wow. When ever I've done cross border wires they take at minumum 1 day.
