2.5% for credit

30p for debit.

I think, not sure, not at work, about that though.

Similiar to PayPal.

Might make a few enquring phone calls this week.

Do your custards give their details out over the phone for you to process payments?

They also wont release 50% of the funds for 60 days... the money you take on day 1 you get the 50% back on day 61.... i know this because i went through the hassel of setting it up which was a complete pain in the arse and being told once it was ready that thats how it works.

worth looking into as for me a S.A.E with a 30p stamp on is about the same cost - then you got to wait for it to come
