Most will sell to fraud detection for you, it's just expensive and typically not very good.

PayPal is an option, unless you have low margins, it's a very expensive way of accepting a credit card. It's also a terrible user experience for people in countries that aren't to familiar with PayPal.

You can use PayPal as a credit card processor, with the user having no idea they are involved.
Really? While still leaving all the input of credit card numbers to PayPal? I mean you'd still have to have some "landing page" with Paypal.

If you happen to have a link handy I would very much like see how they do it.

I didn't realize "leaving all the input of credit card numbers to PayPal" was a condition here. I don't know how to do that, although it may be possible. I'm thinking of their service where you host your own form but use them to process the payment. cc data flows through your server on its way to theirs, but isn't stored on your systems.
