Single page checkout vs. Multiple Page Checkout?
I'm tweaking my ecommerce site's checkout system, I'm really troubled over whether or not to use a single-page checkout or a multiple-page checkout.
I know that the average person can be easily confused by too much data thrown at them at once, or they can be discouraged by too much information that needs to get filled out on one page. Therefore, even though I prefer the quick and easy one-page checkout, other users might find them daunting. On the other hand, multiple page checkouts can seem daunting because there are so many steps to jump through--yet each time you complete a step, there's a sense of finality. What do you guys like best when shopping online--and why do you prefer it? What do you find works best for your customers?

Multi page and clean IMO. As long as it is not like 12 pages like ebays SYI form . ;D
To me the fewer the better and no bS stuff to distract them during the process.

Re: Single page checkout vs. Multiple Page Checkout?
2-page or multipage. Most single page checkouts I've seen cram too much information on one page for the average shopper...but there is a good chance I've only seen the really crappy 1-pagers and there are better ones out there.

I'm on dial-up here.
 The less pages the better. If I ever manage to get a customer, I'll let you know what they prefer. 
It is important to realize that each of us has a role in advancing my future.
