This free web service has been around since last year, but we first heard of it when WebWare ran an article this afternoon. Intuit Billing Manager offers users several templates for invoice creation, and you can slap your company logo on any invoice. You can also email your invoices to clients directly from the web site. They'll received a text based email with a link to an online version of the invoice. Unfortunately, there's no way for them to pay the invoice online using the service.
Once you've added your company info and created a few clients, you can create and send invoices in a matter of seconds. We do wish there was an easy way to save invoices as PDF files which look a little more professional than text based emails. We tried printing an invoice using a print to PDF application, but the results didn't fit properly on the page. Still, if you're not happy with the umpteen other services offering online invoicing solutions, you might want to check Intuit Billing Manager out.

Hey, just a quick clarification - payments are fully integrated in the product. And full disclosure - I'm a product manager that works on Billing Manager. Users are able to sign up for our merchant services which lets them process credit cards in Billing Manager AND lets their customers pay invoices online.
We recently blogged about the experience from the invoice recipient's point-of-view. The screenshots in this post will give you a real feel for the online pay experience:

Hope this helps.
