Shouldn't matter that you're outside the USA -- your bank should still be able to convert a USD cheque to pounds. I'm in Canada, so I'm closer to the US than you, but still outside their banking area and I've never had problems with USD cheques, from Renderosity or anywhere else.

Paypal is the credit card thing you're probably thinking of. You sign up for an account with your credit card and your purchase $ are placed in that account. You can then withdraw the money. I've heard quite a few horror stories about Paypal "losing" $ or freezing accounts without explanation, though. Plus, you might want to go over their terms pretty closely. I'm Canadian and last time I checked, for non-US accounts, there was a monthly fee, a high per-transaction fee AND a % fee to withdraw your $.
