kelpdiver 2 #52 December 22, 2005 Quote And anyone paying 3-5% for credit card transactions is getting fucked. Costco resells Nova merchant services for 1.67% + $.20 per transaction for card-present transactions: a pittance compared to other marketing and sales costs. 20 cents is 1% of $20, so someone charging one jump is at 2.67%. Interesting that Costco is reselling it for such a nice price though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bch7773 0 #53 December 22, 2005 QuoteQuoteYou wouldn't last 10 minutes at a cessna DZ. You are probably right, I would get in my car and drive down the road to the nearest turbine DZ. I might give you a ride if you’re really nice to me! oh good, you can give me a ride from kansas, to the nearest turbine DZ, about a 7 hour drive. pick me up around 5 am. I really shouldn't feed the trolls. MB 3528, RB 1182 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adriandavies 0 #54 December 22, 2005 Hi SudsyFist. Re you point about making a loss on transactions. There are some businesses where margins are so slim that the imposition of a credit card fee can make the difference between making a loss or a profit on a transaction. You should try working for a travel agent. Most airlines now don't pay commission so the only money we make on a ticket is from a very small booking fee typically £10-£25. If we didn't charge a credit card fee and the credit card company took 3% of the transaction value we would be making a loss on a lot of the tickets we sell. We can't charge higher booking fees as the airline also sell direct to customers on the internet and therefore are able to under cut us on almost every flight sold.

RhondaLea 4 #55 December 22, 2005 QuoteQuoteYou can't illicit vengeance on someone or something that hides. I am sure he would be less vocal if his real name was known. Sparky Ohhh....so the name is fake, and no one knows him by his real persona at the DZ? How sad to walk around in life, talking so poorly of others and such, yet have to mingle with those that you despise, and vise versa. Sounds like someone that will die alone, as no one would share in such an existance with him. Oh well! Not my problem.........!
