Well, the system he (FNB) wants to set up would require the person to be there,
with the card, or would require me to enter, if it were a web order (GUH).
On the other hand, there is charge.com, the cheapest I've seen outside of
FNB (FNB is 1.75% + .22 per transaction, charge.com is 2.3% + .3- per
transaction. NOT including equipment... lease on charge.com's "equipment"
is 19.95, and is just an online thing, 50 bucks for FNB's swiper). I've
been looking around for a while, and basically would like to know if
anyone's found better deals than this, and/or if anyone's found a
verification service that actually works. Personally doing voice
verification works, but it is time-consuming. (: If this is OT on this
list, please let me know.
Thanks,
Cindy

People have to talk about something just to keep their voice boxes in
working order so they'll have good voice boxes in case there's ever
anything really meaningful to say.
