According to my experiences, most agencies only use PayPal, so you have no choice. Just PayPal.

Moneybookers is now called Skrill. For any amount over EUR 300, Skrill is cheaper for the translator.

Skrill:
https://www.skrill.com/en/fees/
Receive money = free
Send money = 1%, max EUR 10
Upload money = free, plus own bank charges (depends on which option you use)
Withdraw money = EUR 3, plus own bank charges

PayPal:
https://www.paypal.com/ie/fees
Receive money = 3.4% + EUR 0,35
Send money = free
Upload money = free, plus own bank charges (depends on which option you use)
Withdraw money = free, plus own bank charges

Moreover, Skrill is not available in some countries. However, you can try to convince your client to use Moneybookers by allowing him to deduct EUR 15 from your invoice. This will be worth your while if the amount is more than EUR 500.
