Hi Chuck first of all thank you for your considerations. Unfortunately having a merchant account here (Europe) is not as easy as I thought. the thing is that all the times I went to a bank asking to start with the process they were telling me "why do you want this? your volumes are so low, stay with paypal..." But if I do not have a decent merchant account, how should I start accepting the money with credit cards? It sounds like a chicken-egg problem... At the same time I feel (not 100%) that something is going lost with paypal and that is stopping the business growing. I had issues with walled gardens and when I do the tests with the sandbox I have the feeling something is not working there. I know it's not the same system as the production one, but right now the sandbox is giving me a lot of issues... Thank youPaolo: In dealing with European payments, it has been my experience that there are alternatives to Paypal, but they are not much better, if any at all. Google Checkout might be the best alternative. I used to use AlertPay as well, but it got bought out by Payza. Then there's moneybookers that's on it's way to being re-branded as Skrill. Here's one thing I came to realize. If you are willing to pay the $25-50 per month to accept transactions, you are better off getting a full blown merchant account. They are almost as easy to get accepted as Paypal without the hassles.

The ideal would be somebody who will not ask me a merchant-id (paypal does not ask for that) and that has a good payment gateway. I know there are many around but for low volumes and micropayments I think it would be nice to not pay a fixed monthly fee Lately I feel that paypal is not serving us as expected and therefore I wanted to see if there could be an alternative Thank you -- Ing.
