The best bet is to use a bank that has an online credit card processing program. Commerce and Bank of America have services such as this. Now this is only good if your membership uses credit and debit cards. As a VNNer, I would rather use money orders or concealed cash but if the option was there to use my debit card, I probably would if need be.
But PayPal is an almost definite path to problems. We could try it but it may end in the result I described.

I remember that Pay Pal did detain Alex's one-time paypal account. It was a long fucking time before they disgorged it. Dont waste any time on this outfit.
Vic W was using Citi for a time. I dont know if he was satisfied with it or not, but it was a similar service.

In that article they say western union has a service. check that out!
You may be right about merchant services being the way to go, but as you probably know that can get expensive.
