I've taken credit cards for my business since 1996 using Retriever Systems. They're $18 a month + %, + per fees.

They're raising the rate to $43/month [Mad] [Mad] [Mad] which means I need to find a new credit card processing company ASAP. $43 is untenable for a small business like mine. I've tried talking to Retriever, and the bottom line is, they don't give a crap about whether they keep my business or not.

Are you a SMALL business with relatively low credit card volume? -- and if so, what credit card company do you use?

All information would be greatly appreciated. PM me if you prefer.

I use Authorize.net They are $20 per month plus a %, but it's been one of the least expensive merchant processors out there.

Their main site is http://www.Authorize.net I don't know if you can sign up right from there, but there is a phone # that you can call and ask for direction.

Hope that helps!

Patty

No, but I probably need to soon. But I'd hate paying a monthly fee PLUS a % of sales. I'll be doing a large show soon so I need to get my butt moving I suppose.

PayPal! That's who I'll be using!
I was declined for a merchant account because of the type of business I have - consulting via the web and the phone.
Fine - I'm going to PayPal - heckuva lot cheaper!

I use Paypal and have been VERY happy with them. Just my two cents worth.

I use Paypal and think it's a great system. Very safe and simple.
