Anybody know the ins and outs of this?
Does any of you already do this and if so who do you use?

Other providers apart from paypal and worldpay?

as always it depends what you want.

there are some good turn-key sites out there.

all you do is build it on line by selecting from the yes/no options, and it is done for you, all hosted etc, with backend credit card payments taken care of and the neat little shopping cart functionality etc..

like i said it depends what you want to do... and how clever you need to make it, and how tailored you need your site to be.

I have used one of these turn-key site builders before, and you can have a site up in 20mins with a database with all your inventory on it... it's dead simple.

Paypal's the easiest, but if you are delivering physical goods like massage gadgets, fraud is a problem - i'm not sure if Paypal can protect well enough.

The major problem of paypal is that you cannot alter the height of the subscription fee, logically you cannot increase the fee without the subscribers' approval but strangely enough you cannot lower it either.

I definitely want to have a more advanced payment option (and more control for that matter) but from what I've gathered it's very expensive to have a fully controllable and transparant payment plan.
