Starting a Subscription Service – where do I start? (ecommerce)

    I’m starting a paid newsletter and dial in service for my site and am pretty clueless where to start and what to do.
    I have a free newsletter and use aweber for that and they are very good – but were quite unhelpful about the logistics for a paid subscription service.

    I will want to automate the whole thing – payment, subscription – monitoring who is still subscribed and renewed and who has unsubscribed, shopping carts, Sending the weekly mails & info, etc…

    Does anyone know a service/company that provides this service, or how I can go about starting things off?

    Here are a few sites who seem to have their act together:
    https://orders.taipanpublishinggroup.com/DCT/WDCTKC30/onepageorderform.html
    http://www.thetechnicaltraders.com/memberships/signup.php?price_group=1

    I very much appreciate any advice.
