http://checkout.google.com -- Google's answer to PayPal. Best part is, they are taking NO FEES from now through 12/31/2007. So you can use them to receive credit card payments for just over a year for FREE.
At 2% + $20 per transaction they needed to do something to get take-up

Hmmm, your decimal is in the wrong place: https://checkout.google.com/support/sell/bin/answer.py?answer=30724&ctx=sibling "If you're not an AdWords advertiser, or if you've exceeded your free transaction processing amount for the month, you'll only be charged 2.0% plus $0.20 per transaction." Compare that to PayPal's Standard Rate of (2.9% + $0.30). Either free, or at (2% + $0.20), google checkout would appear to be cheaper than paypal. mark (just a happy checkout customer)
