Hi Carl,
If you own a small business you can get credit card service through
Wal-Mart/Sam's Club. They can set it up several ways. I won't go into
all the details here, but just about anybody can do this. Sam's club is
aimed at the business owner and they have decided that they can provide
some services (and make money on them) to small enterprises. Just about
any of us that buy and sell ham gear, antique radios, etc, can qualify.
If you look around when you're in Sam's you'll find the advertising.
This would provide you with the work-around from Paypal and get your
money fast. I'm guessing that the FTC will get involved and put a stop
to this.
