I know it is OT, but I dont know where else to post it. A friend of
mine is looking at starting up a business online, after working in the
retail trade for many years, now wants to put his business on the
internet. He doesn't want ebay, but wants to take credit cards.

Paypal charge too much, and have other issues (e.g. the max spending
limit someone can have before they have to use another card or they
have to send in multiple payments, that is the biggest problem in the
past so far, and their %% they take)

Can anyone reccomend a decent shopping cart program? He is happy to
build it himself as he looks after his own website, but is stuck when
it comes to taking the cards. He has already contacted his bank and
they have reccomended Streamline, but does anyone else have a similar
experience? He has around 1000 products he wants to build in, plus the
delivery pricings, etc.

TIA
