SagePay charge £20/month (+ VAT) They are fully PCI compliant. They are responsible for handling the credit card transaction on the web. Whoever you take out your merchant account with (e.g. HBSC) are responsible for getting money from the credit card companies and holding it in your merchant account before transferring it to your real bank account.

Right I had loads of questions at the start and with not fully understanding what CMS system is I worked my self up into a little bit of a rant. I can see what richard was doing with his fingetips CMS system and have had a bit of a read and chat with a client as well. Anyway I am now moving forward with this company as they seem great and understanding, Thanks guys for listening to my worries and replying accordingly.

I have contacted several companies offering to sell their product and offering to pay cash for some stock, but suprised how many companies are not replying! Contacted several websites offering to pay for ads on their site but again many are not interested. Do other people find this?

Are you sending them to a page with the 'impulse buys' on when they click to checkout? If not, some carts offer this facility so that you can have a page along the lines of "thank you for your order, why not take a look at our special offer items before completing checkout" where they can add further items, whether they be related to the purchase or not is of course up to you.

I can see that you've added your company address to your contact us page as I suggested and that's fantastic. I would also suggest that the add your company address, company reg no and vat reg no into the footer of each and every one of your pages too. This will make it easier for potential buyers to find your details rather than forcing them to go to the Contact page (which they must navigate to the footer to find the link to anyway).
