An Posts Registered mail is dreadfull once you shipping outside UK & IRL....they either loose it, break it, delivery half of it.....and then they loose the claim forum to top it off...absolutley shocking service.....but at least there consistent

Mix that up with a hijacked paypal account and a garda who's never heard of ebay and you know you've truley been screwed....

Inspired by this topic and others current ones, I finally decided to finish my article on "A Guide to Online Payment Processing." Its a bit of a read so if you have 5 or 10 minutes pop over to my blog, give it a look over and leave a comment if you have any thoughts. Hopefully it will be of some use to people who are new to online payment processing.

I wrote this a couple of years ago.. It could probably do with an update :
E-commerce Cheat Sheet (part 1)

Did you ever write a part 2?

Your MT installation doesn't include next and previous post links like on WP making it harder to navigate.

course not. That would have been the logical thing to do

Truth be told - I haven't had a chance

That would be relatively easy to do, as they are already in the sidebar

Roughly how much would the monthly fees be for a typical merchant account?

It depends on the volume of sales ie. the bank charges you a percentage

As an example, let's say €1000 - €5000 / month?

It would depend on the rate you negotiate with your bank, but at the lower end you'd probably be paying 2.5% I suspect
