Besides Paypal, what's the best way to invoice customers online and provide the option to pay with credit card

I’m looking to invoice customers via email and have them pay in a secure and trustworthy way by credit card.

I need a reliable source and the best possible deal.
Cheap rates and good service.
No monthly or transaction processing limits.
Transaction, Transfer, and Processing fees need to be a minimum!
I need to be able to accept all major US credit cards.

Paypal is too expensive and so if you can provide any help or advice other than Paypal, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you very much.

    I am pretty sure there are many out there with great rates…just google "merchant accounts".

    Payoneer offers the option you asked about and they seem to be honest with me so far.
    I lost a lot of money due to Paypal closing my account and stealing my money.
    See the site at this link for more info on the workings of Paypal

    I wish I had seen it before I signed up 3 years ago!

    for low volume monthly credit card activity – Paypal is as cheap as you’re going to get – the only other option is a merchant’s acct with a business checking acct and you will probably have to pay minimum monthly fees of $80-100 even if you have no sales, so it doesn’t make it worthwhile to get on until you are doing at least $2000 a month on credit card sales as compared to your costs using Paypal = If you can’t absorb the 6% fees (approx on a $10 sale-the percent goes down for higher value transactions) , then you need to raise your prices or not be in business
