There are charges with paypal etc,.. but I've just been told that google checkout is offering a free service until the end of the year!
Even with the charges, you're still on a winner. Add up the time you spend collecting, multiply it by your normal hourly rate,... and compare it to what the charges would be for the same amount of payments. Its probably half!

I just set it up on my website (Used paypal) have a look and see what you think:

Pro: has to be you get paid! without the hassle of collecting.use paypal or nochex one is cheaper than the other.
Con: does cost about 50p per £10 transaction, goes down if your customers pay more at a time ie house £30 fees would be a little lower with paypal over 50p but lower % rate. takes time to send money back to your bank account

all in all the pro's far out weigh the cons.

try it and see, you can alwasy stop if you dont like it  ;)
