Do you guys find it difficult to get set up with a payment processor?

    I wanted to know if anyone has faced similar problems and what can be done about this... I created a new web site selling an electronic product, completely legal and useful.
    I got set up with Clickbank but they rejected my site based on the sales pitch ("exaduration", "income potential statements"). I could change it, but I believe I would then have very poor conversions.
    I understand that if I don't go through Clickbank, I will lose a huge network of affiliates, but I decided to try Google Checkout "buy it now" and advertise myself, then come back to Clickbank later and try a sales pitch that's more down-to-earth.
    Google Checkout rejected me based on inability to provide a business license.
    Has anyone faced this type of problems and what are the alternatives?
    P.S. The site is not yet in my signature until I figure out the payment processing issue.
    Thanks!

    Hi OldEGold and thewebhostingdir,
    Thank you for responding. I do of course know that Paypal is an option, but I've read so many complaints from merchants about chargebacks and customers getting money back for any reason/no reason that my initial plan was to go a different route.
    As I said, Clickbank rejected based on sales pitch being too aggressive and Google Checkout rejected based on inability to provide a business license. What do you think?
    I can say that almost a year of work went into developing the site, sales pitch and product, so I won't give up, the site WILL run one way or another!

    For internet marketer,I personally thinks that paypal is the best payment processor..paypal is accepted worldwide and it is very easy to use..But the advantages is they charge a fee to transfer or receive money.

    You should try a combination of 2checkout, Plimus and Alertpay. That will give you the flexibility you need to start.

    2checkout accepts both credit cards and paypal and less chance of fraud so my suggestion is 2checkout.com :)

    I am using 2Co for 2 years now and guess what...the service and support are excellent. What I like about the 2CO is that I get an email if any transaction passed or failed. So it becomes very easy to to ship the item based upon their verification.
