Per request of mgoalie:
I will be using Google Checkout for this tutorial, because I like google.
I will not be able to post screenshots the whole way, because that would require me actually signing up, which is something I don't want to do...

First off, you need a google account. If you do not have one, post your email and I will send you an invite.
Next, go to
Google Checkout - Merchants, and log in.
After doing that, you should get a page like this:
Fill it out as you please, selecting whatever options you would like.
Fill out the following form, and press 'Complete Signup'.
________
Integrating it onto your website
Next, you have to integrate google checkout onto your website.
Sign in, and click on 'Settings', then 'Buy Now buttons'. I will be using the buy now buttons option for this tutorial, if you want to do it another way, figure it out yourself.
Choose a style, type, and size. Put in the item's description, and name etc. etc.
Click 'Create button code'
Select the code at the bottom of the page, and paste it into the appropriate place in the
HTML of your page. Note: However you are editing you website, it has to be in the actual HTML (code).
As soon as you do that, orders can be processed.
________
Proccessing Orders
Sign into google checkout. Look at your orders inbox. Click the order number to review the order, and you can enter a shipping carrier/ tracking number.
After reviewing the order, click 'Charge' next to it in the orders inbox. Make sure you will actually be able to sell it before clicking this.
When you have shipped it, click 'Ship' next to the order in the order inbox, to automatically send them an email telling them that it has been shipped.
________
Cancelling an Order
In case you should have to cancel an order, for whatever reason, go to orders inbox, and click on the order number.
Click 'Cancel this order'
Select the reason, and write a comment, if needed.
Click 'Cancel the order'.

That's all!
Hope it works for you guys, and feel free to asking questions, ask for clarifications etc. etc.
