This confirms an opinion I developed based on some posts I came upon 
randomly in a forum, where folks complained about needing to provide 
detailed return policy information to sign up, etc..  We would have a 
hard time doing that.

Given this information, I think that PayPal remains the best choice I 
know of.  Wells Fargo's rates are worse for our volume, as we don't 
process enough money to make their slightly lower service percentage 
offset their monthly fee.  If someone else wants to poke around for 
other credit card processors, then feel free, but I'm going to consider 
this closed for now.  The Invisible Hand really has made PayPal the best 
competitor in its area.

Re: lifting the PayPal withdrawl limit, I am attempting to get this done 
by "adding a credit card."  Although all we have is a debit card, the 
process is working so far.  I'll report on the results when I know them.
