i agree with rodney on that one, a clean proffesional looking website will alleviate most of your customers concerns. as far as not accepting checks, more and more companies are refusing to accept personal checks (if they bounce, you not only lose the sale, but your bank will charge you a hefty fee) so i think the buying public will overlook that if they really want your product. however, i think that some of these mechant account providers now offer a "real time" funds verifaction process, which will tell you on the spot if the customers bank account has sufficient funds for the check. so you may want to look into that also. finally dont forget to accept good old fashioned money orders! they are just as good as cash, without the risks of bouncing!good luck!
