Hi John,

Funnily enough this is one thing that's really bugging me.
I've been trying to get my little PC parts shop online but I don't
seem to be able to get anything from any bank (must be beacuse I
have two little a turnover to be taken seriously).

Otherwise I've been looking at PayPal and CCnow (both from the US).
CCnow has steep prices (9% to 11%!!! on sales) but should be a
good starting point (ie for the first few months - to build sales and
all).

I am intersted to see other peoples comments and recommendations... .

Axel
