You will find some suggestions for obtaining a merchant account here:

Give them a call to get set up. Transaction fees are pretty competitive. It's the set up fees you need to watch out for. Some are free and some charge as much as $300. Read the fine print in the application as set up fees may not be refundable. You will need your reseller # or tax ID.

Kind of late with my reply but if you are still looking www.propay.com is simple and they have an automated system so you can call in a charge from your cell phone.

Kenneth,
