I would appreciate your input on expediant ways to collect fees. First, the site is an auction site, our fees are from sellers. Originally, my thought was that accepting credit cards accomplished a few things; verifying majority age, securing payment of seller fees, lending legitimacy to our site.

Now, the biggest stumbling block to launching the site is integrating our payment gateway (Verisign) with our auction software. After losing a web designer, fighting with the software developer and hearing that it will be "expensive" to integrate the gateway, I am rethinking the necessity to accept credit cards and use an online payment service (e.g. Paypal) instead.

Thank you for your input!
