I'm sure this is obvious, but i can't see it.

I've got a payment page (e.g. paymentdetails.html) where there are various payment options etc -

<form action="https://1stPAYMENTPROVIDER.COM">
<inout type=hidden name="anount etc">
<input type=submit value="pay by credit card">
</form>

each is sent to a separate location - [paypaletc...]

let's say on that page, we have 100 visitors, 50 of which end up being paying customers.

how do i break that 100 into

a) number of people who exited the page without going to a payment provider

b) number of people who visited each payment provider

I'm sure there's a straightforward answer, but i can't figure it right now, so any advice greatly appreciated.

I think that the simlest would be to look at your log files in detail and the number of page views that you get on you payment page compared to the number of orders you get.

You could also do some scripting to take account of the number of times your page was accessed, but the log files will give you unique users and is a much easier solution!
