How to create a website and to accept credit card payments?

Well I've just started making my own jewelry and other things and I wanted to create a website that will be able to accept credit card payments. But I don't have a job and I don't have any money or credit cards myself. I also don't have any bank accounts. So I was wondering how I would make my website accept credit card payments and if there's a way to do it without having a credit card or banking account? Thanks!|||Your options are:





1. Use PayPal or some other third party service (e.g. Google Checkout)


2. Get an online merchant account (monthly charges will apply) and use well-established "shopping cart" applications that hook up with it


3. Direct users to send CC# info by mail, phone, or fax


4. Set up your website to use SSL for secure transmission of the data to your server. Then encrypt the data using something like GPG before saving or sending the data to your registrar/secretary, who will un-encrypt the data before accessing it.





DO NOT use a simple "mailto" script.





I am looking at option #4 seriously, but will need to experiment before we go live with such a system.|||You have to sign up for a merchant account with a credit card company OR use a service such as PayPal.





Merchant accounts are expensive, and you pay fees each month whether anyone buys stuff from you or not. Your best bet would be to go with PayPal. You can read about it and sign up here, but you're going to need a checking account AND you're have to be 18 or older to open an account.





There is no way you can accept credit card payments if you're not 18. To use PayPal to get paid for selling stuff, you need to be verified, and you'll need a checking account or a credit card to do that.|||I would also recommend using Paypal to accept credit cards. With Jimdo or Webs.com you can create a simple online store|||Well you could do some onsite seo your self or simply find an seo specialist. I used a great company who are able to get your site on google first page within one day.
