Or perhaps you should try adding it.

Isn't there a 100 post min or s/t like that?

Good point. But maybe it's redundant since n00bs won't figure out how to post anyway... ;)

Is this really better than just sending money with PayPal to friend and paying their rate I think 3percent. Does PayPal charge same rate if your sending money or receiving fir eBay purchase?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Just an intersting thing i saw

SquareUp.com

get a free credit card reader for iphone and android phones.

rates are
2.75% + 15¢ for swiped transactions
3.5% + 15¢ for keyed-in transactions

dunno how this would be good, they're sending me one.
definitely for 5 purchases a month
and if u really need to meet a spending deadline?
and oh, ye, to accept payments
What does it mean keyed in v swiped?

If you don't have a physical card you'll need to punch in the number. It is a higher risk to them (and an added convenience to the merchant) so they charge more.

lechorah yes. Of course they can tell. Question is if amex can tell you're the merchant. Square will block u if u use ur own card a lot so make an AU.
Any idea whats alot?

I just found another payment processing site - Payleap.com, $15/month + 2.5% & $0.49 per transaction or $25/mo & 2.1%

Just came across a new mobile payment platform called card.io.

Works surprisingly well. Fees are a bit higher then square (3.5% + 30¢ per charge) and they hold the funds for 7 days but the cool thing is that you don't need any extra hardware, just the camera :)

Also don't remember is square does credit checks or pulls but card.io is as simple as creating a login id and entering bank account details...

Couldn't find anything with search...

Still a good aption if the cheaper ones don't work for you and 3.5% isn't cost prohibitive.

I have 2. One in the wifes maiden name, and one in my business name. Very convenient and it will email my customers a receipt (and myself) immediately. The money is in my account that night!
Interestingly, they say that as long as the total yearly amount is under $20,000 and under 200 swipes (I think) then they don't report it.
The reader is free but there can be a very long wait for it. They sell them in radio shack and target and walmart for $10, and square will give you a $10 credit. Target sometimes has it on sale for $5 or $8, so you would actually make money on the deal!
