    I have a small site which sells two or 3 products
    Rather than to go for a merchant account and spend money,i thought i would process them myself

    So i have designed the site in such a way that when a sale is done all the CC info are collected and mailed to me,which can be manually processed

    But could you let me a payment processor so that i can setup my account and process the payments myself,rather than using a dedicated merchant account

    Also transaction fee should be low

    I don't think what you are doing is legal?

    You cannot send credit card information by email because it is not secure. This is against specific Visa and MasterCard policies and carries hefty fines for doing it. Some states also have laws against it as well.

    Your best bet is probably to use Paypal or a 3rd party processor like 2checkout.com.

    You should stop this immediantly and remove it from your website. You say you send the entire CC information by e-mail to you... it is insecure to send such information by e-mail.
