I have to play around with it a little. I am finishing up the hard part,
getting everything working right. I have used it a number of times just
testing it with my credit cards. I never had a problem with any sites I have
used it before, either.

I use a secondary process, called Signio.net. They handle a lot of these
issues. I basically get a deposit in my account from the credit card.

It was part of my shopping cart package, and it is easier and faster. It
also is faster to process, and it goes right into my accounts, rather than
transferring back and forth. I give the option to use paypal if you want,
but direct credit card processing is easier for me, anyway. It was one of
the things I was requiring when shopping for a shopping cart program. And no
credit card transactions are costless, but that is another story! : ) Thanks
for your input!
