I have a customer's CC info. What now?

  Wipe it, tell him you've done so, apologize for the inconvenience, and refer him to Paypal's help page - or maybe there is some euro competitor to Paypal that might be easier to use. If you try and complete the transaction from your end it's likely to be flagged as unauthorized use; you might just get rejected, but he might have his card frozen. Of course, there is also the possibility that he's trying to run a scam on you and is unable to use Paypal for the good reason that he's using an invalid card.

      It sounds like you do have a merchant account? If so, disregard my comments - I thought from the original post that it was like a hobby business and you were limited to Paypal, with no other options in place. But if you're doing regular business transactions I guess it's fine.

        well i just have paypal and google checkout (both as a merchant). I don't have a real merchant account anywhere except those two. I'd go for authorize.net as a quick solution, but I don't have enough revenue to justify paying $30 / month plus $100 startup fee :-/ Anyway, I basically just sent money from my google checkout account to my site's google checkout merchant account using the provided CC info. I hope it works, I sort of did it without thinking...
