I can't really disagree with you as I often use an ecommerce website's inhouse system and usually have no problem giving them my creditcard. However, many of the people that come to my bootcamps start out as "micro" retailers - they are selling a couple of downloadable products and they need a quick easy and cheap way to get started. GoogleCheckOut and Paypal fit the bill - at least in the beginning. cheers - Ryan Hi James – Thanks for your comment.

Your safest bet is to gain PCI compliance and keep your brand name strong with a good on site credit card ordering form. People don't care if a merchant they don't know gets their credit card number. They hand it over everytime they dine, everytime they purchase something in a store... ect... Google and Paypal have huge phish networks out to attack their client base, and one is a huge advertising network which uses behavioral advertising techniques. In any event... run your own statistics, offer people dedicated and off site processing, 9 times of ten they will stay onsite and prefer to use the dedicated, in some instances, they will return from the third party site to process payment through your own website.
