They do not accept PayPal anymore, they are using another, and probably cheaper, ecommerce provider in Malta.
The payment process follows this unusual method:
1. Submit data to EcommerceMalta (There is not SSL certificate when doing this) - eccomerce payment provider in Malta (perhaps a cheap eccommerce provider).
2. Details are then forwarded to https://migs.mastercard.com.au - Bona Fide Master card company hosted in Australia which deals with the credit card details (this service is in turn managed for Mastercard on behalf of a 3rd party company called Dialect Payments). The payment page strangely carries the logo of the Commercial Bank of Mauritius? So I guess the money all ends up in Mauritius - a tax haven.
That said, the money is cleared legally and the use of Malta and Maurituis may just be cheap ecommerce provider and tax advantages.

Hello MrFin and welcome to the forum
Thanks for your feedback on the payment process for Mp3Fiesta. I think due our friends in the RIAA the stores are having to become increasingly creative in how they process payment
1) Check out the reviews on RuTunes.com as they are the most up to date and you can check out a much wider range of stores, however Fiesta is still an excellent site
2) Paypal comes and goes (unfortunately mainly goes
from the sites) and it is impossible to stay on top of all the payment options as they can, quite often, change daily
