Was considering trying to open a Mt.Gox account.... now considering buying from BitStamp or CoinLab. Any idea which is easier/safer/better?

To be honest, I'm not looking to send $$$ to any BTC trade network. Just looking for a way to accept a new form of payment...

So I would take in BTC and cash out USD whenever I feel the need or need capital to replace inventory sold.

What exchange would you suggest for a merchant???

I'm assuming when you signup you get a BTC "address" or whatever it's called, for someone to pay you with???

Thanks in advance!

You get an adress to deposit BTCs, yes. I have used both MtGox and BitStamp, both work, it depends on your preferences (and location: BitStamp is better for europeans for instance).

If you are going to use it for business, though, I recall there are services specifically targeted at making your life much easier than it woyuld be with a bare-bone exchange functionality, might be worth searching for them.
