Paypal charges a ridiculously high fee for transactions. Freephoneline runs on a tight budget, I don't see this as a good solution. They'd be better off getting their own corp account at Elavon/Nova (hint hint, I have an account with them) or whatever service they use right now.

In any acse, why would you want to use paypal? Is it because you don't have a ccredit card?

Final point: paypal are the worst offenders when dealing with conflict resolution. Not only that, but they have the poewr to freeze the assets of your bank account if you fart the wrong way that day. They're really, really terrible. Not to be used (as a merchant) in any situation.

I completely (and with full bias) agree with laurent; aside from my prior unfortunate dealings with PayPal, I'll tell you that the entire Fibernetics Group of Companies runs off Chase Paymantech. mainly for the way it quickly resolves our billing conflicts and can provide us with the correct transaction information on a moments notice :)

To quote laurent, is it because you don't have a credit card?

Ah yeah, Chase Paymentech! I've got a few clients using that, and one of my systems integrate with them. Good prices too!
