I'd like to point out that at relatively lower sales volumes, a merchant account isn't that much cheaper. Once you factor in the extra gateway costs, support costs (you do your own billing support now), and yearly fees for ssl and pci compliance, you aren't really saving that much money, and are creating a lot more work especially for a 1-2 person company. The big third party billers are keeping their rates competitive these days.
