Lads and Ladies,

I'd like your input.

I'm curious how many people will only buy from a company that accepts credit cards versus one that only accepts Paypal or mailed payments.

I know the horror stories of Paypal, but facts are for a small business it's an affordable, easy and fairly secure way to perform transactions.

Credit cards are more comfortable to many but when dealing with "non-swipe" transactions (where you don't have the physical card) the rates can be quite high.

I'm trying to get a feel for how much business I might be loosing that I'm not aware of because I don't currently accept Cards. Will I see a reasonable increase in business if I begin taking Cards?

To date, I'm only aware of 1 person who has decided not to buy from me because of the lack of card processing.

Thanks for the feedback.
