However is there a website or list in the book that would point you in the right direction for good quality web services? Reviews possibly?
Are there any commercial web services out there that you subscribe to on a fee basis?

Thanks for the info, I had no idea that that was out there. I've heard of web services but have never really looked into them nor needed them for anything I've done on the job. I'll definitely be looking at them now though, they seem quite interesting.

Amazon Web Services Kit:
Web site owners and developers can now create applications capable of interacting with Amazon.com's catalog, search engine, shopping cart and merchandising tools to provide more robust offerings on third-party Web sites. Instead of simply linking to our various products, they can embed search results, top sellers, customized lists, recommendations, and even the Amazon.com shopping cart within their applications. And with our XSLT engine, they can convert standard Web services XML into customizable snippets of HTML, making it even easier to use our data.

Will they handle credit card processing for you as well or at that point you must provide the service and if so I suppose within the documentation it tells you how to place the order on their site and how to make payment arrangements?

I don't know now. I'm looking into it deeper now. I did find a link here that has a Web Services Description example, but I didn't know what to do with it to see if it works or not. I'll try to post back here if I find something specific.
