[Hidden-tech] Solution Needed - Specialized Acceptance of Credit Cards

The hot new payment service right now is https://stripe.com/ but it needs
to be integrated in your website by a developer. Fees are just part of the
game, and PayPal's are not out of line - regardless of payment gateway
you'll be paying a similar percentage, so you need to account for that in
your pricing.

Best of luck, ~Noah
