Which is best value: Worldpay, Sagepay or Paypal?

Hi

Does anyone have any knowledge regarding which is the best value online payment system for small businesses where online transactions are in the region of 300 -500 per month? Is it worldpay, sagepay or paypal?

    Paypal is by far the easiest to setup, but Worldpay is a better payment gateway IMO if you have a consistent flow of > ~300 payments per month.

    Paypal is also a little too enthusiastic to push the "lock account" button for any reason they see fit, and if that happens, your money is locked away and you can't do any refunds. Cue unhappy customers.

    No experience with Sagepay.

    There is a forum especially for charities or small businesses - I would post there.

    none I would recommend 2checkout.com , the merchants you mentioned have a very high transaction charge. World pay is very expensive
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    World pay is actually not as secure as you think, It doesn't ask for CVV code and you can use different billing address to actual card one.

    Sage page is very secure and requires all card information.

    2checkout is mostly used for webhosting sites etc and its all in dollars.

    And paypal will just limit you account soon as you start making lots of money and make you go through hell to get it back.
