Pay Pal Effect Sales?

    I was wondering if I use Pay Pal to process payments for an ebook will that effect sales on my site? I was wondering if having 2 checkout to process orders would look more professional and hopefully produce more sales.

    I want to make the ordering process as painless as possible. Right now if someone wants to buy something they have to either sign up threw pay pal or login which i think is a extra task for my potential customers.

    If you used to use Pay Pal do you feel that switching to a merchant account for digital downloads has increased sales?

    Why not offer both?

    You can have a page like ClickBank has
    Example

    It offers both Credit Card payment and a "Pay with PayPal" option

    Should I just use click bank to process the orders? I think with 2CO the buyer can pay with Pay Pal also.

    Well ClickBank isn't a payment processor - I was just using them as an example. I think 2CO is a good option but I heard they take a good chunk of the transaction as fees

    I think googlecheckout is by far the best payment processor. Lowest fees on the web, and they put money into your bank account automatically.

    But with Google checkout it's like Pay Pal the buyer is hassled to join Google checkout prior to the purchase they can't just enter there credit card info.
