Real businesses have a real merchant account and don lose business or orders due to the difficulties of using Paypal. Are you planning on getting a merchant account in the future?
We are a “real sustainable business”, which means we consciously operate in such a manner as to reduce costs to our customers whenever possible. “Real” merchant accounts take up to 4% of all transactions (which requires us to charge OUR customers more to keep up); require a high level of credit-worthiness we don’t exhibit right now (having fought our way back from a near-bankruptcy two years ago); and KEEP A CONTINUAL 30% AVERAGE of all funds passed through the account so they have a “cushion” in case you have back-charges or customer issues. All this costs us more money, and means we would have to charge our customers more simply to supply them with the same products and services.
