What problems did you have with callbacks? I've had callbacks working 
perfectly for almost 2 years here processing a fair number of 
transactions.

The same is true with WorldPay - each different script I use which calls 
requires a payment calls back to a different callback processing script 
(often itself).

I am not aware of any similar processor that doesn't offer this.

The downside to this is that you have to guarantee the security of card 
data and satisfy the bank that your systems are properly secured.

If you site is on a shared hosting server that's not something you will be 
able to do.

That is a weakness with the Select Junior method I use however it's easy 
to verify that the amount, etc is correct using a callback.

Of course it's all horses for courses however WorldPay do provide a very 
good service in my view.
