Easy-to-use, hosted web-shop with the ability to accept credit card payments

Question

I'm looking for an easy-to-use web-shop, with the ability to pay by credit-card. Can you recommend any providers?

I've not yet researched this myself, and I've never dealt with credit card payments, so any and all advice on that subject is welcome.

P.S.: I am a full-time web-developer, so don't be afraid to get technical.
