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].

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 :(
