Unless you're making a lot more money than I am, accepting credit cards
directly is an expensive proposition and not worth it.

I use Kagi <http://www.kagi.com/> and am totally happy with them.  They
take a few percentage points (as do the credit card companies), send you
orders by email, and you ship them and receive a check in the mail every
now and then.

There are other similar organizations.
