I've been providing that payment feature thru PayPal for over a year now. Check out paypal mobile features. You can pay and or receive funds from your cell or land line based communication devices.

PayPal Rocks!

against paypal intended).

I'm actually glad to have an alternative to Paypal. They're okay overall, but in a high cost transaction...500-600, I lose quite a bit to the transaction if the client pays with a credit card. So if there is a better way, then that is great. Also, the client might feel it's too much trouble if they don't have a Paypal acct. already and may not want to or be able to set up an account. It's nice to have them just click a button or make a phone call.

Wendy,

What do you pay per year for your Paypal acct.?

and... What would be your normal fee for a $500.00
charge on a VISA card?

Please include any cost that would be included to
be able to take payments on your web site and
via cell phone... please.

Does Paypal appear on your Client's statement
or your name? With Payconcepts, it is
your name that the Client sees on their statement.

and... Yes you are correct, your Client does not
have to join anything. Just click and pay.

I wouldn't use PayPal if it was the last resort for receiving a payment in this world.

I had PayPal for while a couple years ago, but after all the bizarre spam everybody gets from folks trying to bilk them, nobody wanted to use them to pay ME.....which of course I don't blame them, I wouldn't either.

So I use the Bank HomeGauge has set up to force payment before a report can be viewed if the customer does not pay at the inspection.

This set-up through HomeGauge is the best thing next to playing golf I think.

This package and paypal are not much different in the
service fee per transaction they charge.

I need to know the yearly fee that paypal charges
to take credit cards, online payments, and cell phone payments?
Do you know that amount?

The link you provided requires a paypal password and
member ID. I do not have a paypal membership.

This deal cost $39.90 per year (Propay and Shopping Cart
combined)... that works out to about $3.32 per month to
to take cards at your web site or via your phone.

Is paypal that cheap? I don't know.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry about that John. The info is available even without a membership. But I should have logged out first.

Just a sec.

And no. Paypal wouldn't be that cheap. If I had five of those above transactions a week (God willing) I'd be paying 100 a week to use Paypal, minimum.

I'd use the HomeGauge program above if I had it available. It's only logical.

John,

Paypal does not charge a yearly fee for it's 'basic' merchant accounts...just the 'per transaction' commission...DOWNSIDE is...on-line transactions only...no cell phone or land-line transactions. The only requirement is a e-mail address to join. UPSIDE...they (customers) can pay you with a credit card or from "their bank account" (once their account is "verified").

Hope this helps...

Jeff

in at a level that you pay 2.99% per tansaction plus
a .30 cent fee.

The yearly cost is what makes the deal sweet for
the small business person to be able to take
payments on your web page and via phone.
It makes your web page look better too.

But there is a yearly or monthly fee if you want the mobile or landline accounts?

Paypal is based on the amount of the transaction. It's a variable fee per transaction. Sometimes it's quite a bit less than 2.99%.
