[thelist] Basic e-commerce

[Kevin Timmins]

I think i'll check out autorize.net, it sounds like it could be interesting 
to use.
It would be interesting to see the class to see how you do it, although i 
would probably want to write my own more for a sense of achievement than 
anything else :)
cheers,
kevin
