Help with understanding merchant account

[smokingkills]

Hi, can anyone here that lives in Australia and has a gateway seperate to, but that links to their Bank tell me if you need to pay big setup fees and processing costs like the Gateway?

I dont seem to understand how this thing works - I am hoping you only need to pay your gateway service (e.g. www.eWay.com.au) and pay pretty much nothing to your bank apart from their usual business banking fees.

All these gateways are getting me so confused. I need to trade internationally but there seems to be some issues with WorldPay and im thinking of using eWay and my bank as a seperate gateway/merchant unlike WorldPay which is combined (It also costs a lot as well).

I will have to talk with the bank I think.

Thanks,
Jamie.

Actually I dont think I will be using any Aussie merchant because my of International currency conversion issues. If I do use an Aussie merchant overseas I will have to tell them to expect some slight change in their order price which would be a disaster.

I found this out a few months ago but I dont know why I didnt remember it.

Oh well, I geuss its WorldPay for me.
