I just want to say for the record, that Paypal at present has over 72 million users. I know of no other payment venue that has this many members. Also it is a known statistical fact that many e-commerce shoppers outside of ebay will go out of their way to find sites that they can use their paypal account on. Most business's I have encountered usually offer paypal along with other payment options which is a good choice to have.
I myself am not a big time seller outside of ebay and dont really have any use for another payment option. A paypal "Business Account" will cover all the avenues of payment including direct credit card payment without even having a paypal account...I will grant the fact that paypal checkout is longer and can result in the loss of a sale because of it, but most paypal users are loyal to paypal and are willing to be redirected and then redirected back to your site.
I have never had a problem with paypal, and it's ease of use for me and the customer is what im looking for..as Im not going to be doing any volume business on any of my sites. Plus most people know paypal, trust it, and feel secure in using it, myself included.
I saw one shopping cart that you can get that had payments to paypal as an option with it..but they want like 29 bucks a month. I was just hoping someone here knew of any others that were way cheaper or even free to use with them getting a small percentage of the sale..kinda like ebay does. I appreciate any and all input anyone has on this matter...Thanks, William
