As I have not been working this week , been drugged up this week with pain killers I had a guy come round with a credit/debit card reader
The deal is about £40 a month including VAT
35p on debit cards 2.4% on credit cards
Money in bank in three days and once accepted you know money is good .
You can also do customer not present transactions
How does this compare with other companies.
I was also surprised about low amount for Credit Cards as companies such as Alltec charge a premium for using Credit Cards way above 2.4%

thats a big change Ian the used to make you wait 30 days giving the reason that if you did a bad job and the customer wants a refund its less of a risk for the card people!

We use 123 send. Its £10 per month for your account with streamline then they charge £17.50 for mobile terminal including minutes. Works out £10 a week cheaper than the chap who came round !

I posted a while ago about Adelante, who provide software for mobiles, it's been workin fine for me on iPhone, costing about £15 a month at the moment, money in account in 3 days, no problems so far, it's a good alternative I think and no additional hardware to cart around,

Dont know what planet youve been on Ian, but thats never been the case as far as Im concerned. Used different mobile terminals for years and they have always been 3 to 5 days, more so 3 days now.

Is that including VAT
-
No that is plus VAT, which if your registered you claim it back

Has anyone tried using the pay pal system
It apears customer gives you card details you go home and do it on home computer cost 3.5%
Again i have used a similar idea in past with other companies I have been agent for but I do not think customers are so trusting with the information these days
