2checkout...i know a lot of people have had bad experiences...

btw...Paypal only has been working great so far (knock on wood) we move the money out as soon as it hits (keep a little in there for working money) but then our orders do not usually go much over $100 at a shot.

We do some by phone too, they call us with their cc and we run it through propay. Also some checks through the mail.

Dont know first hand about 2checkout. Large transactions like that likely set off every fraud detection system they have, so they're being paranoid about paying you and then it getting charged back or whatever.

People rape these systems blind, so they pretty much assume anything remotely out of the ordinary is fraudulent.

For mainstream, Paypal would work. Not sure if the software you're doing supports it directly, but they've got reasonable tools for implementing it with just about anything.

Or the more obvious solution, grab your own merchant account and then you can use any of those other gateways. It's not too painful as long as the bank doesn't smell any pussy on your transactions.

Yeah, i am going to have to do that in my wife's name though, my credit isn't up to par quite yet, getting there though

as for the fraud thing, yeah I expect that, but come on, 4 days to answer support tickets and going on almost 4 weeks to verifiy that the charge was real? a bit excessive don't cha think?

www.awbs.com is the software I am using

yah, we have paypal on the site, but in all honesty, no one wants to charge $1800 charges through paypal....and two of my clients are in the UK and don't use paypal....so I needed a true credit card processing solution

i need to just bite the bullet and grab an authorize.net merchant account
