I currently trade on eBay using paypal to accept payments.  I live and trade in UK.

Projected turnover is approx £100,000 per year via online payments.
Individual transaction amounts are between £7.00 -£30.00

 To cut a long story short I don?t have a Paypal anymore.

What I need is:

An online payment system where bidders/buyers can pay for items via
credit/debit card.  The winning buyers must be able to put in their
item number and pay via card with a system that works with eBay.

I want to be able to have everything automated where I get a report
for items to dispatch daily.

I have found a couple of traders who use something similar to what I need
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Tier-1-Online 
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/The-Vodafone-Store 


I need a HASSLE free system, I have been looking at Auction Works,
Channel Advisor, Worldpay & others. The problem is that I do not
understand how it works and what costs are involved.  I need

1.	Full costs 
2.	Set up procedures
3.	what I need to do
4.	What would be best for me
5.	How it works in English please

If someone comes up with a solution which is hassle free, cheap and
easy etc I am willing to pay or tip etc much more depending on what
info is provided

I am looking for a good answer, I can use google myself and know how
to search ? hence using Google answers as you guys are supposed to be
the best!!?
