Merchant Account ??

[noooze]

Hi all you all knowing guys and ofcourse women

i have a big problem - so i faxed and mailed a contract to a paymentprocessor 4 weeks ago, and today was the day i was able to login there

but... all of a sudden it seems like i need a Merchant Account before they can process any creditcards for me bummer

yet another one in the food chain to take x% of the income.

well anyways - can anyone direct me towards a place where i can set one up ( hopefully cheap, all the stuff needed the last couple of months to set up a site has kinda made me poor )

i really hope someone can help me out - in advance : thx alot
