I've been using Billpoint and although a half percent higher in fee and a
delay in check clearing it's just as easy and no limit for free accounts on
how much you accept in credit cards. It's tied to Ebay too and anyone
verified as an ebay user is 90% there to using Billpoint as all they need is
the finishes to open a Billpoint account. When I pay for an auction thru my
checking I use Paypal as it is automatic with no 3-4 day wait for clearing
(and no fee for me as buyer).
