I would be nice if you gave a list of the merchant accounts you and your readers have used and compared the costs. I'll be direct. Who do you use and why? Do we need to buy a merchant account and a payment gateway or just buy either one. What is the difference between them.
Also I have PayPal option and am considering adding a Merchant Account, but the scary part is if I have not enough traffic then I might be paying a monthly fee for nothing. But on the other hand, I may not be making sales because I only offer PayPal. February 2010 my domain provider showed I had 900 unique visitors to my site. This sounds like a lot to me but if they are only looking but not buying then maybe PayPal puts them off. I have 1,000 board games to sell and would love it if you and your readers could point me in the right direction as to what is the best option at the best price for a business that does not generate sales as yet? This is where the customers land.

I look forward to all feedback.

With more individual people and companies getting into the online business, Paypal is building a solid reputation in the online business. It is very convenient to make an online transaction using Paypal and very secure. They have very strict security regulations and codes to protect people against fraud. You should never open an email from Paypal in your email box and always go on their site to login.

I'd agree and go with a merchant account even though the up front costs are a bit more costly. But with some research and decent credit there are economical processors out there. Paypal is reputable and I use it myself often but there's still folks that have heard of Paypal but there really not sure who they are or how they work. You don't want any trace of doubt at check out.

I agree with nearly everything you said. Paypal is great for newcomers but there are numerous other merchant servcie providers who can offer customized solutions such as 24/7 customer services for your consumers or ACH processing for payroll. It is wise for the business owner to consider all options before they decide.
