    Cheapest Way to take payment online?

    It's all very well saying protx, but what's important it the merchant account you link it to. ...when you start getting quoted 30 day settlement and fees close to 2% ones enthusiasm will evaporate. FSB is really route well worth perusing. Bear in mind paypal fees can be 1.9%+20p if you have...

    We use SaleTrack and have no complaints at all. However Express Packages have just offered us a sub account through UPS and bettered ST's rates significantly, so we'll be changing over to them. Plus everyone tells me UPS are the bees knees! Edit: Just having a quick read of this thread and...
