Anyone try Fastspring for e-commerce?

Anyone have any experience with them?
Alternately - has anyone switched from Regsoft / Plimus / Swreg style
e-commerce over to a proper merchant account / shopping cart
solution? If so - how bad was the transition? Do you spend a lot
more time dealing with credit-card related issues?
Unfortunately I'm having some problems with my current e-commerce
provider which is making me aggressively research alternatives. Since
they've been generally good to me - I'm going to give them a few more
days address my concerns before I gripe about it publicly.

Their web page looks nice but I did not find something like a 'terms &
conditions' page.
The payment processing fee is 8.9%. But what is included in their
services, will they also do the tax related stuff, will they act as the
seller of the product (this is very important) and do they have their
own 'special' currency exchange rates (like other services)?
They are a little bit vague about details, there is still room for
improvements :)
Best regards

I have started SoftCartPro, which directly addresses features and
concerns of people tired of the RegNow/Plimus/BMT triad of high rates
and lackluster service. 4 software vendors have already signed up in
the last 2 days, so feel free to check us out, and maybe join the
parade! 4.5% flat rate, no monthly fees or signup fees and no
minimums.
Michael: We do act as the seller, we don't play shell games with the
price of products and we handle VAT/tax stuff if needed. We absorb
chargebacks (to a certain point) as well.

To answer your questions, we do handle tax payment on your behalf, we
act as the seller, and we do support multi currency display. If we
can address additional questions, please email us at

My main question was if there is a 'terms & conditions' document
available. I don't mind if it is presented as a web page or a contract
on paper. Preferrable it should be possible to read it before signing up.

p.s. Flash movies are good old Web 1.0 & dot.com, aren't they? (SCNR)

drop me an email. We do not list it on the public website, it is a
confidential document for our clients.
Re: our screencast being old fashioned, I don't know that I agree.
Screencasts are still in their early stages of adoption and usage as
far as we see it.
