Ebay will work, but I was wanting some perspective on Amazon. Hmm. Maybe a Google Checkout Store? They are charging less than 3%, with no limits.
Hmmmmm.

I'd go the full blown merchant account. You'll still get less than 3% from the outset.
I like authorize.net for a gateway. Far more options than a google or paypal cart and you are still setting up a merchant account when you use them.
Merchant accounts can take some time to set up and your transaction ceiling will be limited until you build up some credibility with the provider.
Better to have it in place before you need it to avoid the gotchas that can come along with it.
I've set up a number of clients. Feel free to PM if you want.
