Billing for small purchases ($1-$3).. suggestions? - GoFuckYourself.com

Can anyone reccomend a billing solution for small purchases? I am going to be selling $1, $2 and $3 tickets for misc things.

Most internet merchant accounts I have been checking charge like 2%-6% then on top of that a $0.20-$0.50 charge. That takes out about 50% of my profit!!! (and whata huge profit it is:D) I dont have to take credit cards... if the customer could purchase some form of emoney with their credit card and then use it to pay for my tickets.. that would be okay. So does anyone have any reccomendations on how I could go about this?

Also... are there any offshore places like this? Any help is appreciated.

internet merchant accounts eat typically 2-2.4% + 25 cents per transaction your looking at 33 cents or so max.

Only other fee is your service fee which runs 10-15 dollars per month....

Only other options out there is 2checkout about 5% of each plus any other related monthly fees and or paypal
