[FX.php List] [OT]Accepting Credit Card Payments

[Marisa Smith]

Thanks to everyone who posted - this gave me some additional  
information for sources I hadn't yet investigated (including PayPal,  
which I totally forgot about!!).

I'm going to investigate a little further and then decide.  Thanks  
again!

Marisa
