Online Store

I want an online store for three or four items. Freemerchant.com has the
services I need, but I would like to find one of their competitors with
lower fees. Presently I have my own secure site and my own credit
card/merchant account, so I have the lowest fees possible. However, I
have to semi-manually process the charges by importing a text file into
PCCharge Pro (terrible choice.)

It would be worthwhile to pay a little more not to have to deal with my
own merchant account. Unfortunately sales of the items are low, but
worthwhile, so low fees are important. Are there any web sites that
compare online stores with integrated credit card processing, like
freemerchant.com, store.yahoo.com, and ebayexpress.com? Can someone make
a recommendation for sites to consider? My company has been in business
since 1978, so there is no problem qualifying for any type of account,
as it relates to credit worthiness.

I use Mals. http://mals-e.com If you just want to take Paypal, it's
free. A premium acct is $8 a month which lets you use your merchant
acct. He also has a lot of options available and it's easy to set up.

The site say, "Configure the cart to collect card data and save it for
processing later or link directly to a number of big name payment
processors." Doesn't that statement mean that you still have to have a
merchant account? I am looking for a fully integrated solution so that
all I have to get is an email telling me what to ship.

Thanks.

Yes, you have to have a merchant account. Who is going to process your
credit card orders??
