Hi skynoc

You can have a look at http://www.2checkout.com
You can sort out all your e-commerce payment stuff with them. It $49 to get an account with them, which offers all sorts of services to from own profile management, cart setup, product set to payment preference setup through a portal. It also supports multiple currency, which becomes very handy if you are selling digital products internationally.

However I am not sure if that $49 includes a merchant account. But you can go have a look at it.

Hope this helps :)

I'd reccomend worldpay (www.worldpay.com)

They've been around since the dawn of internet sales and ecommerce so they know what they're talking about and they will most likely have a solution perfect for you.

2Checkouts rates just seem a little hefty...
# $0.45 per Sale
# 5.5% of Sale Amount

And no, worldpay have every base covered when it comes to how you want to do things. They can host your cart, they can just host the payment page, or they can accept payments from your hosted payments page...
Well I guess it all depends what you really need and what constraints you have. @Checkout also has several option, of having just a payment gateway and have you own cart or 3rd party carts or you can let use their cart... I guess that 2Checkout maybe more costly in the long run, but i do think it easier to start up.
Yeah always true with all CC payment taking. They either tempt you in with lots of features or flexibility and charge the earth for their services; or they give chaep rates but only let you work in a really fixed environment...
