Those all enable a merchant to take bitcoins as payment, which is one of the options I was already looking into.
Unfortunately, it seems likely that Foxpup is right and there aren't any services which take a customer's debit/credit funds and converts them into bitcoin to pay me with during a transaction.

Sorry about the break in protocol Foxpup.
As for more detail bitcats, what I meant was I would like to have the ability to set up online payments wherein the customer has the option to pay in debit/credit/paypal (or bitcoin at a discount) and if payment wasn't initially made in bitcoin some service converts the funds into BTC for me, so I don't have to directly interact with electronic Fiat. (It's a personal distaste of mine, the only fiat that my own mental hangups are comfortable with is cash.)

Over 100 views and no replies yet huh. Maybe this really is in the wrong board... (if it is and a mod sees this, I'd really appreciate being moved into the correct board, thank you.)
Re: PAYPAL FOUNDER PETER THIEL: “BITCOIN IS THE OPPOSITE OF PAYPAL”
I really doubt paypal will ever accept BTC. It will be a very risky thing to do. 
...
...They are already testing the waters right now with one of their subsidiaries. If that is a success we can probably end up seeing BTC integrated somehow into the PayPal wallets
And keep in mind that the chief scientist of Bitcoin (GA) has said on his blog--correctly IMO--that it's only a matter of time before Bitcoin anonymity must go away. In fact, he says users will have to either pay to stay anonymous or give up their anonymity in exchange for lower block verification fees (read his blog, I don't have the link but this is well known). Essentially, long term, the Bitcoin founders and the people that really matter are giving up anonymity in exchange for going mainstream, under the bet that if they try and stay anonymous, FinCen and other such entities around the world will regulate BTC out of existence, but if they go mainstream it will become acceptable to the average citizen and hence more profitable (and the price of BTC will go up). It's a Faustian bargain but also an offer you can't refuse (prosper by going mainstream or be banned--your choice).
There goes the dream of actually having private independent transactions without the financial sector sticking its ugly mug into all our personal matters.
After spending the last two hours googling to the best of my ability and coming up with nothing, I've come to this forum (hopefully the right part of it, my apologies if there is a better board for this inquiry) hoping it's my search-fu that is lacking rather than reality.
Are there any services out there for a merchant who wants to be able to receive debit/credit card (paypal as well would be nice) payments as bitcoins?
