You can search for 'merchant account' and you should get plenty :)

Paypal is the easiest and the cheapest I think.

Get an account at 2checkout.com or nochex.com :)

I use Paypal all the time. I find it very useful. But then when people don't have it, its a pain. :(

I went to nochex.com and they don't accept Visa. I am little confuced though. They accept Visa debit, and I guess that's what I have, but they don't accept non UK-debit or any credit-cards. I live in Sweden.

They seemed OK though, so maybe I can e-mail them and ask if I can't find any other company.

I suggest if your volumn is low and you are new then go for paypal but DO NOT KEEP much cash with them or you may regret on your decision.

PayDirect is only for those living in the US. I checked their TOS. I took a look at PayPal. If everyone who sends me money really do it, and don't use a fake card or want their money back, it's OK, but as soon as i have to ADD money into the account, I need a US, German or Dutch bank account. :(

Paypal is good. But there are many options. If your product is deliverable on net, checkout for clickbank.com. They are cheaper to use and no fix monthly costs. Also see Authorize.net, ibill for payment gateways

clickbank would be OK if I wanted to sell my images, but it doesn't seem to work for services, like webdesign.
