Anyone using this to accept credit cards?

Looks like an easy way to accept credit cards immediately. No bank necessary.
Next day deposits in your account, 2.75% fee per swipe.
Is this a good deal compared to the traditional way of accepting credit cards?
I'm eager to gain new customers that may prefer to pay by credit card. 
He takes credit cards, Great!

Any thoughts? 

 

haha....that is funny....I just ordered that last week.....we will see!!!

 I've got a friend who is a professional photographer in Dallas.  That's how he accepts payment and is perfectly happy with it.  As far as cost?  2.75 or prettty close to that is what QB is charging me and it takes at least 2 days to hit my account.  

So sounds like a nice little system.

I love it. No issues and no waiting as long as my transactions are swiped.

I use it on my Droid and love it.. Larger transactions do seem to take a few days but really who cares, I know I'm getting paid..

 Nextel Baby!!!!

It fits in you pocket.  (with appropriate trench coat). 



Forget that icrap and avoid the droid!!!  ;-)

I use it on occasion too and have had no issues. Money usually gets deposited in 2 business days.

i use it. customers like that i can email them the receipt while standing next to them while finishing the transaction. very nice and no monthly fees...

What size charges have you had go thru successfully?

does droid have any equivalent ?

I decided to give it a try since nobody said it sucked.
I'll start advertising credit cards accepted and see if it makes any difference.
Seems like a no brainer.
Thanks for the input.

I'll be using a Droid.

I use it on my droid too. Biggest charge was about $7500.

i was at Artscape http://www.artscape.org/ in Baltimore this weekend and any booth that used electronic card reading had these. probably saw about 30 of them in total so sounds like they are well received. only saw them on iphones though.

I've been using the Intuit GoPayment for a few months, now. $13 a month and 1.7% per swipe. The customer just sings my iphone with their finger or a stylus and the money is in my account in 2 days. The gave me the card swiper for free during a promotion. There is no limit on transaction amounts and you can even set up items for your sales ticket, which saves some time. The customer then receives a copy of the receipt, with your logo on it, by email within a minute or 2 after the charge is approved. It's slick and it works.
