If you're only concerned with taking payments in the UK, then there are
other solutions available at a low cost. I recently used the Google
Checkout payment system, which is easy to implement from a developer
perspective, trustworthy from a customer perspective, and has plenty of
documentation online from a variety of sources.

Thanks,

Authentication required for every page request. #fail.

https certificate for them shows ...

www.qpaynet.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is only valid for *.hosting-advantage.com.

So having seen all of that _AND_ assuming that they are responsible
for handling payments ...

Would _you_ trust them?

You've hit the nail on the head where I am concerned but unfortunately
business requirements may override my objections to a company who cannot
even run a frakking web site.

Well their financial reports quote www.qpay.com ... which is home to a UK
payroll company ... but http://www.qpaynet.com/tmobile/contact.html probably
sums the business model up ;)

It wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't already listed there! That site is
awful, and not something I think I would trust to handle money! Not one
of the links on the site works, not even the contact page, which I
believe is technically illegal in several countries.
