I have a friend with an Ubercart site. He makes around 4 or 5 sales a
month and profits around $150 per sale. He uses Google Checkout and
"PayPal Website Payments Standard" but he has had comments from some
that PayPal is hard to use. One user who was sent to him (so really
wanted to buy) couldn't figure out how to use his CC and emailed for
help. We told him to use PayPal and his Amex failed and so again he
emailed for help and we told him to use Google and it worked.
But if he hadn't been sent to the site he probably would have walked
away from it.
Only question is, does it seem that the $30 a month fee is worth it for
PayPal Pro? Then he could do onsite CC payments. I guess he would have
to make one more sale every 5 months than what he is doing now. Seems
reasonable that the ease might encourage another 2 customers a year or
so...
