paypal and alternatives for smaller sites

here's a small list of sources to help others

With the discussion about Brett using PayPal to collect subscription fees
(going on in another area) it made me remember I had done some research
on alternatives to PayPal a while back. This might be useful to others for
making simple payment collections for your own javascript or cgi based online stores:

[s1.amazon.com...]

[ecount.com...]

[moneyzap.com...]

[paydirect.yahoo.com...]

(this is a list of all of PayPal's account types to try to make this mini-list more complete)
[paypal.com...]

This page is a wonderful resource for quick info on third party merchants [merchantinfoweb.com].

ah, exactly what I was hoping my post would inspire, someone providing a superior list :) Seriously, thank you!

Credit actually goes to scoob who gave me the link in the first place. Thanks, scoob!

actually after browsing through those, their rates are kinda insane (bad)!
Looks to be about 10% on average per sale... makes paypal's system look like a dream...

Does anyone else have a nice and easy "cart upload" and "instant payment notification" like paypal?

Now find me a nice list of places that will process echecks for me without requiring the customer to
have/list a credit card too. Yahoo PayDirect will do echecks like that but they don't have a
"cart upload" system, only a bill via email :(
