Any sellers take credit cards?

I sell a lot on here and I want to start taking credit cards if possible. How can I get it done? I sell from home though, if that matters.

    Contact your bank to see if they will allow the transactions based on your record with them.

    See your banker. So much a month and a % of the sale. Just remember that a buyer can use his card, get the gun home and then deny the charge, You are out the money and the gun.

    Call around, check Ebay, there's real merchant services folks on there.

    DO NOT think that your bank knows everything, or will give you the best deal. I've been with my bank for years and my merch svcs people beat the crap out of their offer AND gave me a wireless machine to use for free for 3 years (with maintenence) and to keep after that.

    Another thing you'll find is that middle men (merch svcs) will promise you the moon and the stars, have you fill out a pile of forms and applications, and then the "Underwriters" will come back and tell them to tell you that they have some nebulous "policy" which does not allow them to offer services to those in the gun business.

    This EXACT THING happened to Armalite recently, and was posted here, I gave them a referral to MY rep at my merch svcs company and they are happy as pie. Armalite's former merch svcs co. "pulled the plug" on them and left them high and dry, no warning, no nothing. Nice gratitude from folks who take 2-3% and 50 bucks or so a month in miscellaneous "fees".

    email me and I can give you the name of my rep.

    I've never had that happen. It's fraudulent activity, BTW and illegal in most states.
