hi peter and welcome to WmW

do you have a merchant account with your bank? where in the world are you? what sort of products or services are you looking to sell?

the more information you can give, the better the answers you'll get.

thanks for welcome.

Well, I must say that I don't have merchant account. I'm individual doing internet business only as part time job and I think I have enough time and skills to manage a internet job along with my regular job once it is setup which almost is.

I'm in Slovakia, have bank account in good stable bank, have credit card and i'm willing to sell services through web page. I don't think I will make a lot the first two months, maybe $100-$500, but later it can be better. At least I hope so.

hmmm..... each card processing company has different rules and restrictions on which countries they will trade with and whether you need a bank merchant account etc. you might also find that some will only settle in US$ rather than your own currency, which may cost you more money every time you make a sale.

i can tell you that slovakia is not on worldpay's list of prohibited countries, so it might be worth contacting them. they can settle in a number of currencies although i don't know if they'll do yours. if not, your bank should be able to help out, maybe with setting up a Euro or US$ account.

the best thing to do is to ask each one if they can provide you with a service and what their requirements are. there are plenty of processing companies out there, just make a list and contact them all. don't jump into signing up for the one with the lowest sign up fee thinking it's cheaper than the rest, try calculating total annual costs for each provider - include transaction costs and any annual fees or set up fees etc.
