I am trying to find the cheapest way for me to accept credit debit card transaction on GB. I'm a reloader and I have about 30 or 40 pounds of extra spent brass shell I am trying to sell off through GB. My issue is that I have a firm gut feeling that if I don't have some kind of way to except credit card transactions this could take quite a while. So, my question is who has the cheapest fee's?

We used to sell over 1000 lbs of brass per month and sold it at the scrap metal dealer. Just something else I don't miss about running an indoor range. Unless you have some rare brass, you might want to sell it as scrap and avoid the hassle. Either way, good luck.
Thank you for your reply Ricci.Wright I have already spoken with my local scrap dealer an I would not even make back what I originally paid for the brass. its sorted, deprimed, sized and cleaned.
Why not just ask for USPS money orders as many sellers do?
USPS mo That's all I take, cc charge you fees
Not really worth setting up with a cc processor for short term selling. Just take checks and money orders, most buyers won't have a real big problem with it.
Do not set up a credit card processor unless you want to get a 1099k and then the sale will have to be reported on your taxes.
USPS MO is the way to go.
When I was selling I said apologetically I could not accept cards, but would take usps mo, certified checks … or a personal check from any GB user with 10 or more A+ feedbacks. Seemed to work fine. Never had any problems. Not sure how many buyers I ran off with that.
I talked to my bank and cost to set up and accept cards was just not worth it.
