I have a new merchant account open, and I want to advertise the items im selling, mostly gadgets and laptops. I have made use of Twitter and Facebook, but where else would be the perfect place to (Legally) advertise my electronics?

For an e-commerce site targeted at consumers living in Dubai, what is the best option for online payments?

Who are the leading merchant account providers and payment gateway services operating in the UAE and what currency are citizens most comfortable in using to pay online in? Do most residents hold credit cards or do they prefer to pay using bank transfers or PayPal like services?

Are there any governmental regulations I should be aware of?

I was thinking about Bank of America

What do u think. Is 2.12% a good price?
Any other idea?
I need this to sell software online.

i dont trust paypal and never have. they always limit my accounts with tons of money in it and hold it for months!! then suspend it for all kinds of crazy reasons and ask for everything besides a dna test. im dont wanna bother with them. i want to sell on ebay, but no paypal. whats another credit card processor which is low cost and known? thanks!

I have had beyond a frustrating relationship with paypal. I no longer want to use them. I saw that I can still sell on ebay if I use an online merchant account, however, you have to have a credit card through that
particular merchant processing service.
I would like to continue selling on ebay as soon as possible. I have contacted Merchant one…they are taking forever, I even tried Moneybookers, but they want to send an address verification in the mail, etc. Anyone know a good online merchant processing provider, I can use to sell on ebay that is approved by ebay, and I can start selling within 3 to 5 days. Please help…Best answer 10pts today!!!

I just got approved for an account I signed up for 3 weeks ago. It is from national merchant bancard and they use Authorize.net gateway. I guess the monthly fees add up to about $30.

I was temporary using Alertpay. Here are the pros and cons:

Alertpay:
-Does not allow customer chargebacks
-Does not charge monthly fee

cons: -Charge .50 for each transfer
-high transaction fee
-takes 5 days to process a bank deposit before sending it
-requires creating a customer account (customers don’t like)
-at times will reject customers and not let them purchase (loss sales)
-Does not integrate with ebay
-Unknown

Other merchant:
-deposits directly
-cheaper over all
-does not require registration
-integrates with ebay

cons:-very poor customer service
-does not protect against chargebacks (but does provide security)

I wanted to know which was better. I am leaning towards Alertpay because it protects against chargebacks and there are a lot of scammy people. If I get a chargeback then I would get that plus a fee taken directly out of my account then a fee to investigate it. Then again, I’d get more customers with the other merchant. Hmmm… What would be the better investment?

For all the business owners out there who would you say is the best merchant you have worked with? I own a ecommerce network which processes $150k online sales a year. Who should I use? Anyone used merchantwarehouse?

I am looking for a good merchant account that accepts merchants from the UK.

Which merchant account do you use and why?

I’m looking for an alternative to paypal. I sell online and need an alternative other than paypal. I need to have the buyer/seller protection policy as well. Paypal is too much of a hassle anymore. Merchant accounts are too pricey. If anyone has any ideas, plz oh plz let me know what is best out there!! Thanks.
