Small B2B Payments

[dragonfly]

I'm looking for the best way to take a small £2-£10 payment from other busniesses. I have an idea, that will cost little to setup and may or may not work. if I shell out for setting up merchant services etc. it will swallow all if any profit from the job, however if I use some of the cheaper stups, I can see it working.

Would people pay via the likes of nochex/paypal made to look like a credit card teminal in part of the site?

I would have thought that most of your customers would have accounts. If not there is nothing wrong in asking for cash when the driver picks up for items say under £10 and cheque only with bankers card for no account holders over that. After all most customers would probably expect that sort of system as it is used by mini-cab firms as well. If you haven't got free banking remember though cheques cost £1 each to pay in and still only £1 if you pay in 20 at a time. Best save until you get at least 10 then . Rob

Sorry this is unrelated to my main business, this is a new venture I am toying with. Also most of it will be online aswell.

You could look at Google Checkout. It's very easy a cheap to set-up. It will be better than raising invoices for small amounts, chasing up payment or handling cash.

Do you not think that you should have made that clear. How can you espect advice if you don't atate what the business is. As for Google - Paypal accounts be wary. People use these on Ebay and Ebay as I understand have over a 100 court cases pending which might lead to it's downfall and the merchant accounts that support the company may be held liable too which means that they will seek redress from advertisers.

Sorry for the confusion caused.
