    Indeed it is free to setup an account with them like many of the 3pp's out there.

    They have been around for a long time and I have seen some positiv reviews of them on several other boards. But thats only what I saw, please also make a quick check on google if you not already did it.

    Yes, charge.com is a reliable merchant credit card provider and actually I applied 2CO through them.

    Ok, the scenario is like this, I visited charge.com last year after I did a researched of which the most trust able credit card provider and found charge.com, when I register my account with them and because I am not US citizen or stay at US they forwarded me to 2CO as an international credit card merchant provider, then I proceed to signup with 2CO until now.

    There are many US merchant service providers that provide free setup for merchant accounts. Personally, I would recommend to stay away from any MSP that has a setup fee.

    Charge.com does have an annual fee of about $100 last I checked, and a $300 cancelation fee. They also have a high ($25) monthly minimum, about a $30 gateway fee and a $10 statement fee. Expect your monthly cost even if you don't process a card to be about $65.

    As far as service goes, I'm not sure how good they are. After looking for a few minutes I found both positive and negative reviews of them, so I cant give a definite answer on that one. They were recently purchased by a larger MSP who's looking to make a big profit with them, so definitely check the contract carefully. Search on google as well, as there are quite a few reviews of them.

    If you have a porn site then use ccbill.com or epoch systems both are specialized in this industry.

    WorldPay and 2co.com are the one I would go with if I would look for some 3 party processor else go for your own merchant account with a bank. The bank's merchant account will be less expansive in the long term once your business is grown to make a high volume (about 50k or more)

    Charge.com has lots of positive reviews but since, I am not a US citizen, no personal experience though.

    Also, do a search on adult webmaster resources. There are several good sites that list all the payment processors, both direct and third party.
