I get the feeling that Paypal is a bad choice. I have had some runins with them not being very helpful as a buyer, but I just assumed their main focus was on the seller. Apparently their main focus in on themselves. Hmmm....
Anyone have any experience with Google Checkout or any other companies that I should look into?
