I'll be trying one of the ones mentioned here. Mine was awful, every minute seemed like they were raising prices. I used GLobal Payments, don't like it, don't use it... blek
I have a great little system. The card processor is a cell phone with a scanner slot on the side, and the printer is a tiny wireless gizmo that prints out thermal paper receipts. It's a Way System set-up that is now owned by VeriPhone. My account is with Titan Merchant Services www.titanmerchantservices.com, 800-396-5660. They have been very helpful and reasonable. I used to have an account through Chase that was the most horrible mess in the world. I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy (if I had one). Anyway, this new system has a low monthly fee, and the wireless cost is way less than getting a wireless account through a cell phone company. They also have non-wireless accounts that you can sign up for. I had one of those for a while before going wireless. The ease of this far outweighs the extra cost.

We've been using merchantanywhere.com with their Pocket Merchant card reader with literally no problems. Originally were using it with a treo 650, but now with an HP netbook. check out their website for more info. Service can be used seasonally with no monthly charge during your off season.

yeah, you just take the info manually, not good if you are doing a ton of stuff but, these days if a 2-D'er sells a dozen decent paintings a weekend he is doing well.
