Hi Derek an everyone else, I registered my interest on your form although my experience with CBA is they can't be bothered unless you are making millions. When they rang me to follow up a lead regarding a domestic merchant account they basically weren't interested and recommended I tried other banks as I wasn't currently banking with them.
However I have found out about "Website Payments Pro Payflow" which "is the Payflow Pro payment gateway solution that uses PayPal as the Internet Merchant Account to process Express Checkout or Direct Payment credit card transactions online." I'm not sure if it is available for Australian PayPal users but I've posted a thread over there in the hopes it is - https://www.x.com/thread/43455?tstart=0 Gary On May 24, 3:07 pm, Derek Clapham <derek.clap...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Gary, > > Interestingly enough, the CBA has foreign currency merchant > facilities.
